Gavin Murray-Miller rethinks the subject by examining the idiomatic use of modernity in French cultural and political discourse. The Cult of the Modern argues that the modern French republic is a product of nineteenth-century colonialism rather than a creation of the Enlightenment or the French Revolution. This analysis contests the predominant Parisian and metropolitan contexts that have traditionally framed French modernity studies, noting the important role that colonial Algeria and the administration of Muslim subjects played in shaping understandings of modern identity and governance among nineteenth-century politicians and intellectuals. In synthesizing the narratives of continental France and colonial North Africa, Murray-Miller proposes a new framework for nineteenth-century French political and cultural history, bringing into sharp relief the diverse ways in which the French nation was imagined and represented throughout the country's turbulent postrevolutionary history, as well as the implications for prevailing understandings of France today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: The Cult of the Modern in the Nineteenth Century -- Imagining the Modern Community -- State Modernization and the Making of Bonapartist Modernity -- Civilizing and Nationalizing -- The Crucible of Modern Society -- Old Ends and New Means -- Republican Government and Political Modernization -- Toward the Trans-Mediterranean Republic -- Conclusion: The Second Empire and the Politics of Modernity. 651 0 $a France $x Relations $z Algeria. 651 0 $a Algeria $x Relations $z France. 651 0 $a Algeria $x History $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a France $x History $x Administration $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Social change $z France $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z France $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Politics and culture $z France $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a France $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 651 0 $a France $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Europe $x France. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Africa $x North. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x 19th Century. $x 19th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 $a French colonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01930852 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007141 650 7 $a Nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Politics and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069952 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122310 651 7 $a Algeria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205459 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Murray-Miller, Gavin, author. $t Cult of the modern. $d Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 2017 $z 9781496200297 $w (DLC) 2017004228 830 0 $a France overseas. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211021425.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170503024154.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E82A9C82FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
