Over the course of the nineteenth century, images of the Paris urchin entered the collective social imaginary as cultural and psychic sites of memory, whether in avant-garde or more conventional visual culture. Visual and literary paradigms of the mythical gamin de Paris were born of recurring political revolutions (1830, 1832, 1848, 1871) and of masculine, bourgeois identity constructions that responded to continuing struggles over visions and fantasies of nationhood. With the destabilization of traditional, patriarchal family models, the diminishing of the father's symbolic role, and the intensification of the brotherly urchin's psychosexual relationship with the allegorical motherland, what had initially been socially marginal eventually became symbolically central in classed and gendered inventions and repeated re-inventions of "fraternity," "people," and "nation." Within a fundamentally split conception of "the people," the bohemian boy insurrectionary, an embodiment of freedom, was transformed by ongoing discourses of power and reform, of victimization and agency, into a capitalist entrepreneur, schoolboy, colonizer, and budding military defender of the fatherland. A contested figure of the city became a contradictory emblem of the nation. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 121-143) and index. 505 0 Revolutionary ancestors of the Gamin de Paris -- Child of the people and child of the Fatherland in nineteenth-century French social history -- Child of the people and child of the Fatherland in the French social imaginary -- The Gamin de Paris and the Revolution of 1830 -- The Gamin de Paris in panoramic literature and in the Revolutions of 1848 -- The Gamin de Paris, the second empire, and the commune -- The Gamin de Paris during the early Third Republic -- Epilogue. 600 10 Delacroix, Eugène, |d1798-1863. |tLiberty leading the people. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98091690 600 10 Hugo, Victor, |d1802-1885. |tMisérables. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no96003851 630 07 Liberty leading the people (Delacroix, Eugène) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01361341 630 07 Misérables (Hugo, Victor) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01356916 650 0 Arts, French |y19th century |xThemes, motives. 650 0 Boys in art. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85016222 650 0 Revolutions in art. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh97000759 650 0 Boys in literature. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85016223 650 0 Revolutions in literature. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94008520 650 7 Arts, French |xThemes, motives. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00818030 650 7 Boys in art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00837394 650 7 Boys in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00837395 650 7 Revolutions in art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01096772 650 7 Revolutions in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01096773 648 7 1800-1899 |2fast 830 0 Routledge research in art history 902 jar |bm |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20170718 904 jar |ba |hm |cb |e20170718 914 (OCoLC)ocn953425152 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240501 |eprocessed |f953425152
