Beschreibung:
Stéphane Jettot is Assistant Professor at Sorbonne University. His research focuses on several subjects related to the British Isles in the 17th and 18th centuries. His first book considered the importance of the London Parliament in Late Stuarts diplomacy (Représenter le Roi ou la Nation? Les parlementaires dans la diplomatie anglaise. (1660-1702), Sorbonne UP, 2012). Together with other European scholars, he has explored the relation between genealogies and collective memories in various publications, notably S. Jettot, The Genealogical Enterprise: Social Practices and Collective Imagination in Europe (15th-20th century) with Marie Lezowski, Peter Lang, 2016.
The Age of Enlightenment has formerly been defined as hostile to the values of ancestry and genealogy. However, the transdisciplinary approach adopted by this book allows us to consider genealogy as a long lasting social practice and a form of reasoning, a language and a tool expressing social relations and establishing hierarchies throughout the 18th century.
