Kleinert's Response To The Revolution
Kleinert characterizes the periodical’s response to the Revolution into four parts: a short period of two months after July 14, 1789 where the editors hoped to return to the way things were before, a period of three months where the editors begrudgingly accepted the new situation, a period of fervent enthusiasm and patriotism from February-October 1790 under the new title, the Journal de la mode et du goût, and from October 1790-April 1793, a period where the writing avoided discussion of political topics which, Kleinert states, marks “sa deception croissante devant un mouvement dans lequel elle avait placé tant d’espoir.” After the fall of the Bastille, the periodical entered a period of depression where the editor did his best to avoid any …show more content…
Explaining the delivery delays caused by the Revolution, the editor of the Magasin des modes nouvelles placated subscribers writing, “. . . les modes ne varient pas comme elles varioient auparavant nos malheurs. Nos Souscripteurs étant, malgré nous, forcés d'attendre un peu l'apparition des Cahiers, ne perdent pas extrêmement, ou plutôt ne perdent rien, puisque la mode n'a presque pas changé, & qu'ils voient le changement pour peu qu'il y en ait.” After the death of the dauphin in June, the Magasin des modes nouvelles did not present a woman in mourning dress until early August because “la mode n’a rien produit qui variât ce deuil.” The editor bemoaned the simplicity of the militarized dress popular among French men; although he recognized it as the current style, he expressed hope that it “se passera avant peu, par notre habitude à changer, & par notre habitude à voir notre état actuel sans l’étonnement qu’a pu nous causer cette nouveauté” and that “. . . bientôt, comme nous venons de le dire, par notre habitude à changer, ils ne le porteront plus que pour leur service, & la Mode reprendra tout son empire comme auparavant.” Overall, the editor of the Magasin des modes nouvelles conveyed a sense of disenchantment

    When analyzing the French Revolution, the idea of political transformation and citizen involvement play a huge role in actually understanding how the revolution altered from enlightened conversations in salons to its completion, resulting from the French “voice” uniting to halt The Terror that Paris had become. Reflecting back on this event, historians still debate on the specific moment this aristocratic revolution of 1789 turned into the blood-bath radical revolution due to the momentum and contingency that each event has on the overall Revolution. The two authors, Jeremy Popkin, and Timothy Tackett, explain their historical opinion on this period of French history, in which both share a similar standpoint on the event which sparked this radical phase of the Revolution. The clearly highlighted turning point for Timothy Tackett in When the King Took Flight is also represented by Jeremy Popkin’s position in A Short History of the French Revolution, in which this transformation results from the event that occurs on June 20th of 1791, in which, Louis XVI’s action to flee result in, a critical advance to the consequential way of thought in Paris that spreads throughout France, a spark into the ideals of uncharted French political reform, and in social tension that will develop from members of the previous 3rd Estate, which will lead to years of fear and damage the structure of France.…

    “Little by little, the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him.” Revolution author, Jennifer Donnelly, portrayed the hardships and terror felt during the French Revolution through a discovered diary of a young French girl detailing everyday life during the era. Donnelly’s words delineate the irony behind the revolution. She indicates how the aristocracy during the time, absorbed in their wealth, did not expect the rebellion caused by the poor. Pushing away from the “old world”, the peasants began to defy the affluent and their cruel ways.…

    In January of 1994, rebellion broke out in the Southern Mexican state of Chiapas. An indigenous group calling themselves the Zapatistas - after the renowned hero Emiliano Zapata – attacked following Mexico’s entrance into the North American Free Trade Agreement, condemning the “political corruption, local bossism and officially sanctioned violence” of the government and demanding social justice. Despite the period immediately before the outbreak of rebellion having been heavily studied, events of the twentieth century leading to the armed uprising remains unknown. In The Ambivalent Revolution, Stephen Lewis sets out to fill in the gaps by analyzing “Chiapas’s revolutionary and post-revolutionary experiences through the lens of the rural schoolhouse.” In doing so, he argues that the 1921 Ministry of Public Education (SEP) became the…

    Written for a broad, general audience—without footnotes, a bibliography, or other formalities—The Coming of the French Revolution still holds a persuasive power over the reader. Georges Lefebvre wrote The Coming of the French Revolution in 1939, carefully dividing the story into six parts. The first four are organized around four acts, each associated with the four major groups in France—the “Aristocratic Revolution,” the “Bourgeois Revolution,” the “Popular Revolution,” and the “Peasant Revolution.” Part V examines the acts of the National Assembly to abolish feudalism and write Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, and Part VI presents the “October Days” (xv-xvii).…

    The French Revolution, lasting from 1789 to 1815, was perhaps the bloodiest revolution of the 18th century. In an era of rich aristocrats and starving masses, the French Revolution- or la révolution française- resulted in one of the first major movements that utilized propaganda. Both the aristocratic and revolutionary parties utilized the widespread popularity of newspapers and periodicals to gain support and sway public opinion in their favor. This exhibit analyzes the different routes these opposing forces took in order to gain public support for their causes, ultimately leading to an upheaval of French society. While the aristocrats focused on solely using painted art displayed in salons and homes, the revolutionaries used a combination…
