NEWS CATALOG COLLECTIONS AUTHORS FOREIGN RIGHTS + Edited by Li Ma Forbidden City, Imperial Palaces and Royal Courts Symbols of imperial and monarchical power in the East and the West Story € 42.00 BUY THE BOOK Empires, kingdoms or republics seem to share the same almost existential attention for places of power. At all times in our world history, monarchs, despots, tyrants, and authoritarian regime leaders in particular, have made their palaces a stage where they arrange symbols, highlight representations linked to their own image and their political discourse. . In the courtyards, galleries and large rooms, they magnify their marriages, their successions, dictate or use religious life, fix the fashions and customs that serve as a model in the field of arts and culture. From the time of the Pharaohs to that of the Qing, including that of Charlemagne, this work introduces us to the very heart of palaces, closer to the arts that form the language of power. Coming from a broad disciplinary horizon (sinology, archeology, history, art history, political science, science of religions, intercultural studies, museography), the researchers gathered here are interested in both the Forbidden City of Beijing and at the court of Versailles. Establishing, in an unexpected way, comparisons between West and East, they reveal to us the universality and the variations of a major phenomenon.
