This is the study of the variety of forms taken by urban protest movements, seen as cultural confrontations between men of power and male and female demonstrators. It is based on the premise that popular protest was an important aspect of politics under absolutism and that the culture of popular protest has been undervalued or dismissed with a few unfortunate stereotypes. First the Montpellier uprising of 1645 is used as a model of a relatively spontaneous 'popular' uprising. Factional conflicts in Montpellier in 1656 and Nîmes in 1657 are then analysed as examples of a markedly different kind of movement organized by elites. Two uprisings in Châons-sur-Marne in 1641 and 1657 illustrate 'parallel action' in which magistrates and crowds protested in different but interconnected manners. Finally, the Lanturelu revolt in Dijon in 1630 illustrates a more complex example of sustained parallel action in which a province-wide movement became linked to a deeply ingrained culture of vigneron protest [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
