Status Interaction during the Reign of Louis XIV

By: Giora Sternberg

Who preceded whom? Who wore what? Which form of address should one use? One of the most striking aspects of the early modern period is the crucial significance that contemporaries ascribed to such questions. In this hierarchical world, status symbols did not simply mirror a pre-defined social and political order; rather, they operated as a key tool for defining and redefining identities, relations, and power. Centuries later, scholars face the twofold challenge of evaluating status interaction in an era where its open pursuit is no longer as widespread and legitimate, and of deciphering its highly sophisticated and often implicit codes. Status Interaction during the Reign of Louis XIV addresses this challenge by investigating status interaction - in dress as in address, in high ceremony and in everyday life - at one of its most important historical arenas: aristocratic society at the time of Louis XIV. By recovering actual practices on the ground based on a wide array of printed and manuscript sources, it transcends the simplistic view of a court revolving around the Sun King and reveals instead the multiple perspectives of contesting actors, stakes, and strategies. Demonstrating the wide-ranging implications of the phenomenon, macro-political as well as micro-political, this study provides a novel framework for understanding early modern action and agency.

On Our Mind

Salience, Context, and Figurative Language

By: Rachel Giora

How do we learn to produce and comprehend non-literal language? Competing theories have only partially accounted for the variety of language comprehension evoked in metaphor, irony, and jokes. Rachel Giora has developed a novel and comprehensive theory, the Graded Salience Hypothesis, to explain figuative language comprehension. Giora contends that the salience of meanings (i.e., the cognitive priority we ascribe to words encoded in our mental lexicon) has the primary role in language comprehension and production.

The NPY Family of Peptides in Immune Disorders, Inflammation, Angiogenesis, and Cancer

By: Giora Z. Feuerstein

In this book, experts in the field analyze recent evidence supporting the role of NPY family peptides in regulation of the immune/inflammatory system with special reference to its medical and therapeutic implications. Of special interest are the NPY functions in angiogenesis that provide new insights into vascular and neural remodeling, inflammation, tissue regeneration and tumor biology as well as offer new strategies for treatment of atherosclerosis, cancer and vascular ischemic diseases."--BOOK JACKET.
