New Article: Le Barbier’s Representation of the Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen

https://www.e-revistes.uji.es/index.php/potestas/article/view/7824

I am very proud of my new article published by Potestas: ‘Liberté, Légalité, Souveraineté: Changing Meanings of an Allegory in Le Barbier’s Representations of the Déclaration des droits de l’Homme et du citoyen‘. I have been working on it every since winning a small grant generously offered by the University of Halle-Wittenberg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Enlightenment Studies (IZEA) to participate to their panel ‘The contribution of images to the Enlightenment’ at the 15th International Congress on the Enlightenment in Edinburgh in July 2019 organised by the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies.

I had to acquire new sets of skills and competences within art history in order to combine its methodology with intellectual history. The article was peer-reviewed by three art historians, who recommended it without many revisions.

I wrote a long thread summarising my argument in this article on my X account:

My newest #article is now published in the journal Potestas and marks my foray into #art #history with an analysis of #LeBarbier's representation of the #1789 #Déclaration des #droits de l'#homme et du #citoyen. 👉🔗https://t.co/PQgaxulhlG A thread 🧵
