商品描述
Historians have long used biography and life narratives as a means of understanding the French Revolution, as classic studies on major figures such as Robespierre and Napoleon attest. At the current moment, however, many of the most creative such studies are focusing on relatively minor revolutionary figures. Such work, which combines the techniques of classic biography and microhistory, reveals how the great political, social, cultural and religious transformations of the revolutionary era were refracted through the prism of individual experience. This work often links to research and writing taking place in adjacent disciplines, notably around the ideas and practices of life-writing. These studies, themselves often grounded in the history of emotions, resist the 'biographical illusion' that an individual's essence can be inferred unproblematically from their words and actions, and they also transcend the tendency to see those words and actions as merely symptoms of broader political processes. By focusing on individual life stories in their own right and insisting on the slipperiness of individual identity, this book explores emergent forms of subjectivity.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
歷史學家長期以來一直使用傳記和生活敘事來理解法國大革命,正如對羅伯斯比爾和拿破崙等重要人物的經典研究所證明的。然而,目前許多最具創意的研究正專注於相對較小的革命人物。這類工作結合了經典傳記和微觀歷史的技術,揭示了革命時代偉大的政治、社會、文化和宗教變革是如何透過個人經驗的棱鏡折射出來的。這些研究通常與相鄰學科的研究和寫作相連,特別是圍繞生活寫作的思想和實踐。這些研究本身往往根植於情感歷史,抵抗「傳記幻覺」,即個體的本質可以毫無問題地從他們的言語和行動中推斷出來,並且超越了將這些言語和行動僅視為更廣泛政治過程的症狀的傾向。通過專注於個人生活故事本身並堅持個體身份的滑動性,本書探討了新興的主體性形式。
