Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
Attentive to spatial and temporal changes, the course will be based on a documentary corpus available in translation. It will develop, for modern times the knowledge of institutional frameworks, in the sociological sense of the term: constituted by a set of tasks, beliefs, rules, practices and behaviours instituted between people, these institutional frameworks have a particular purpose and a certain stability over time. These institutions can be political, social, religious, economic, cultural and religious. Their knowledge is essential for research on modern times and will introduce them to recent historiographical problems and methods.

| At the end of this course, the student will be able to place an institution (considered in a broad sense) in its political, ideological, economic, social and cultural context, to analyse its skills and functioning, and to identify the actors involved, for the modern times. It will also be able to place in their historiographical context the questions currently being debated by the research. |

Content
To address the social, cultural and political aspects of the period, the course will focus on the theme of festivals and ceremonies. It will examine the civilization of the "popular" festival - gradually policed and domesticated, stripped of its initial subversive potential - as well as the royal uses of diplomatic encounters, urban entrances and grand court shows. From the Renaissance to the Revolution, from the Camp du Drap d'Or to the Fête de la Fédération, we'll be looking at these manifestations of disorder or unanimity as some of the mainsprings of European society.
Teaching methods
For the most part, the course will be based on commentary on very lively documents (chronicles, poetry, engravings, prints, easel paintings, musical pieces, newspaper articles, etc.). It will also provide methodological training in reading sources.
Evaluation methods
Written examination
Online resources
Powerpoint projections of the course sessions, as well as all the documents analyzed and methodological advice, will be available via the Moodle platform on the course website.
