“Fiez-vous donc aux apparences !”: The contested afterlife of revolutionary dress in the Restoration
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2022.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : One aspect of the new political culture of the Revolution was the use of dress to signal new identities and allegiances. This usage outlived the Revolution, surviving into the present, for example, in the form of the municipal écharpe tricolore. However, what also survived was a profound duality in ideas about the legibility of apparences: the desire to be able to recognise someone’s political affiliation from their outward clothing, being undermined by recognition of counterrevolutionary’ manipulation of superficial exterior symbols. This article explores how such a fractured discourse informed attitudes to dress as a form of political uniform in the Restoration.
