The fall of the Ancien Régime radically re-shuffled the social order throughout European capitals, ushering in a new era in inter-religious understanding and mass democratization.

As the ghetto walls separating Jew from Gentile came tumbling down along with the unquestioning acceptance of clerical and royal authority, a newly ascendant bourgeois class demanded new compositions for the domestic sphere, with popular references and playable scores accessible to those with neither an aristocratic pedigree nor a piano.

Songs for soprano and Early Romantic Guitar by Cimarosa, Crescentini, Doisy, Haydn, Domenico Puccini and Fernando Sor join jewel-like arrangements from the popular operas of the day by Rossini and Halévy, speaking of an age of liberation and a growing taste for Bel Canto singing.

Futures of French Series

With Morgane Cadieu (French, Yale), Minayo Nasiali (History, UCLA), and comments by Tony Haouam (French and French Studies, NYU).

Morgane Cadieu is Assistant Professor of French at Yale University. She specializes in 20^th and 21^st century prose, randomness in literature and philosophy, space studies and materialism. The manuscript of her first book on Georges Perec, Samuel Beckett, Anne Garréta, Italo Calvino and Sophie Calle is called Marcher au hasard: déterminisme, clinamen et libre-arbitre en littérature au XXème siècle. In this work, she maps out the spatialization of chance; traces the genealogy of the atomist swerve; and shows how the authors of her corpus construct a new type of urban strolling.

Minayo Nasiali is Associate Professor of History at UCLA. Her first book, Native to the Republic: Empire, Social Citizenship, and Everyday Life in Marseille since 1945 (Cornell University Press, 2016), examines the politics of everyday life in Marseille neighborho
