And yet the people were precluded from the ceremony itself. Moreover, the coronation contained within it the seeds of the Empire's later turn towards absolute-style monarchy, based on revived notions of divine right. The coronation thus highlights Napoleon's, and the French political elite's, ambivalent attitude towards the idea of monarchy and popular sovereignty. Although the coronation should be seen as part of the process of national reconciliation implemented by Napoleon, as ritual it failed to leave a deep impression.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:58 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42322 Mon 22 Aug 2022 09:49:26 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42318 Mon 22 Aug 2022 09:42:20 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39796 The Better Angels of Our Nature lays out his case in extensive if contested statistical detail, arguing that there has been a ‘tenfold-to-fiftyfold’ decrease in rates of homicide in Western Europe since the sixteenth century.¹ He appears to have been inspired to think in terms of downward trends by a graph of declining homicide rates in England, calculated by Robert Ted Gurr in 1981 and part of a broader effort by historical criminologists to quantify long-term patterns in interpersonal violence. It was their data, Pinker writes, that convinced him that there was ‘an underappreciated story waiting to be told’.² In doing so The Better Angels of Our Nature draws heavily on the work of the German sociologist Norbert Elias and his theory of ‘the civilizing process’, first set out in a book of the same name published in 1939. According to this theory, increasing mastery of psychological ‘drives’ towards impulsivity – best demonstrated by the aristocratic adoption of elaborate rules of courtly etiquette – and the spread of princely authority, centralized administration and economic ties over larger and larger territories resulted in an increasing ‘pacification’ of key societies in Western Europe by the early modern period. For many historical criminologists and crime historians, murder is understood as an impulsive, if irrational, act. In mapping homicide rates in the same era, Elias’ ideas about the development of self restraint have provided important theoretical ballast for data sets that are often uneven or incomplete. It is unsurprising, therefore, that an interpretation of Elias is also crucial to Pinker’s thesis, both to explain declining homicide rates and to convey a general sense of ‘moral progress’.]]> Mon 20 Nov 2023 11:39:04 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29621 Mon 08 Aug 2022 14:57:17 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42810 Mon 05 Sep 2022 09:57:32 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39984 Fri 01 Jul 2022 11:08:32 AEST ]]>
