Voltaire on Ukraine's fate (in his Histoire de Charles XII

Voltaire's ghost haunting hideous concrete buildings. Grafitti at @TrierUni , the right place for writing a book on Voltaire, it seems! does this explain @DTricoire's activities right now?

Our research seminar (colloquium) starts soon! You can register to follow us online. Thank you to all participants! @glennhroe @benoitcarre87 @1SimonDagenais @L_Flavie

One of the coolest beginnings of a monograph on Voltaire (from Jean-Marie Raynaud's strange Voltaire, soi-disant ; an exercise in scepticism).

Papers will be given in French or in English by @glennhroe @PYBeaurepaire @DTricoire @1SimonDagenais @benoitcarre87 @JojoWeis @VoltaireOxford @christof77 @echapron @Mediate18c

Thank you from our side for this wonderful conference! We had: - thought-provoking papers and discussions - experimental archeology (pharao gambling game) - conference song (the duc d'Orléans' "Sire c'est illégal") - & a lot of fun with you!

The kind of review you like: "[Tricoire's] Die Aufklärung is a fantastic book in which, through enormously skilful and knowledgeable storytelling, the Enlightenment becomes a moving, [...] interwoven whole...

...and here our AI 19th-c opera: Choir:"Je suis le duc d'Orléans, ton rival, noble audacieux, montre-moi ton vrai visage" Soloist: "Aaah je (?) roi impérieux!" Choir: Etats-généraux doivent "parler" But details are unclear! AI has imitated an old recording 😅

Preparing our talks for @PYBeaurepaire 's journée d'étude on Thursday. Wanna hear more the first analyses of the 1789 revolutionary movement? Hear @benoitcarre87 & @DTricoire in hybrid!

Le 1er mars @benoitcarre87 interviendra @IHMCUMR8066 durant le Magnetisme d'hier et d'aujourd'hui Sa communication : Nouvelles réflexions sur la société réunie chez Duport : La Société des Trente, entre sociabilités aristocratiques et sociabilités révolutionnaires (1788-1789

Save the date! 28th March, a hybrid journée d'étude organised by @PYBeaurepaire in #Nice, a common event with the PaPa team (Trier): Étudier la sociabilité à l'époque des #Lumières. #Enlightenment, #twitterstorians, #teammoderniste, #RévolutionFrancaise

Nous sommes très fiers d'annoncer que notre projet de recherche a déjà une place qui lui est dédiée.

Somehow, we have missed the sad news about Dale Van Kley's passing in March. He was a great historian, and I would have loved to meet him (we only had e-mail contact). His work will stay a major source of inspiration!#jansenisme, #RévolutionFrancaise history.osu.edu/news/passing-d…

Dear colleagues in Holland, don't miss @DTricoire 's keynote lecture "The Triumph of Theocracy: Reconsidering the Age of Revolution". Conf. "#Colonialism in the #AgeofRevolutions", by @AliciaSchrikker 's team (@UniLeiden , @UniLeidenNews ) Thursday 23.11, 10.15, #BoerhaaveMuseum

The Bissula in Cannes. Vivat @TrierUni !

Riddle for #Enlightenment fans: In which city is there, next to each others, streets dedicated to Voltaire, Condillac, Buffon, Franklin, Montesquieu, Fénelon, Rousseau, Mably, Montaigne and Diderot?

#Bordeaux, 18th-c city par excellence. The Louis XV quais & place royale, the theatre built by the maréchal-duc de Richelieu. Experience the effects of the expansion of Atlantic trade (slave trade included) & the #Enlightenment representation by the mighty & the rich!

Budget for #French #universities is frozen this year, though they are already very much underfunded! How can this system still work? Appellingly low salaries, very few positions in comparison to the number of PhDs, bad libraries, no offices even for profs... #FrozenFrance

Elegant #Protestant #Church in #Bergerac, inaugurated in 1791, just after #CivicEquality. It's built on a former #Franciscan church erected after the military subjugation of the city by Louis XIII in the 1620s. What a sweet revenge! #FrenchRevolution, #Protestantism

Beautiful #genealogictree in picturesque #Montesquieu 's #LaBrèdeCastle. Note that De l'Esprit des lois is part of #genealogy, and that it is on #Moses' tables (like in the iconography of the Déclaration des droits de l'homme). #Enlightenment, #twitterstorians , #Lumières

Let the #Enlightenment begin! The sun is rising on the salle des fêtes #Montesquieu ! #twitterstorians , #teamModerniste

Superbes couvents des Dames de la foi, fondés dans les années 1680 pour convertir les protestantes, dans le cadre du tournant pieux d'un #LouisXIV en quête de légitimité, soumis aux plus violentes critiques pour sa recherche effrénée de gloire (ici #Brantôme et #Périgueux).

Symptomatique pour la mémoire des #guerrescoloniales françaises (ou bien plutôt des #guerresdelibération): un #monumentauxmorts esseulé à #Périgueux, pour ceux qui sont #TombésPourRien en #Indochine. Ils doivent se sentir négligé du haut de leur nuage...

Superbe #hôtelparticulier de la famille #Fénelon à #Sarlat ...et les délicieuses pizzas du royaume de Salente réformé par Mentor.

Olympe, we ❤ you! (#olympedegouges seen in #montauban

Useful desk of Maria Carolina of Naples (thanks, @benoitcarre87 for buying it for our research group in Trier) 😉

Help, #twitterstorians of #slavery and #abolition (or #abolutionism)! Do you know good scholarship on the French royal ordonnance of 1315 that abolished servitude in the realm? Many mentions on google scholar and books, but I could find no analysis of the background and context.

A renowned Dutch physics professor has translated Émilie du Châtelet's Éléments de physique. He used it to initiate his students to Newtonian physics! lup.nl/publications/h…

Sometimes it's nice to be stuck somewhere because the Deutsche Bahn is not working (it rarely does): you can admire fine examples of 16th-c Dutch iconoclasm (here in Arnhem

After yesterday's fascinating workshop with Julian Swann, this semester's seminar session on urban sociabilities and public sphere has come to an end. We are grateful to all of the speakers and participants for the interesting discussions and insights! @PYBeaurepaire @danedels

Taking our #ISECS2023 bag on another city walk before attending the round table "Daniel Roche (1935-2023), historien de l’Europe du XVIIIe siècle" @SapienzaRoma.

A short morning walk through Rome before attending the second day of #ISECS2023. We're looking forward to new exciting panels!

This afternoon, some of our team members presented their research at #ISECS2023 within the panel "Reconsidering the Public Sphere in Pre-revolutionary France: Radical Writers and their Patrons". They were joined by Barbara Abrams. @DTricoire @benoitcarre87 @1SimonDagenais

This afternoon we've had the chance to join Jeffrey Burson and our colleagues from @TrierUni (@DTricoire @Barlafuess @teopolit) at #ISECS2023 for their fascinating talks on "Interrogating Religion, Natural Rights, and Secularization from Enlightenment to the Age of Revolutions"!
