H.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explores leisure-related voluntary associations in France during the nineteenth century as practical expressions of the Revolutionary concept of \u003ci\u003efraternité.\u003c\/i\u003e Using a mass of unpublished sources in provincial and national archives, it analyses the history, geography and cultural significance of amateur musical societies and sports clubs in eleven \u003ci\u003edépartements\u003c\/i\u003e of France between 1848 and 1914. It demonstrates that, although these voluntary associations drew upon and extended the traditional concept of cooperation and community, and the Revolutionary concept of fraternity, they also incorporated the fundamental characteristics of competition and conflict. Although intended to produce social harmony, in practice they reflected the ideological hostilities and cultural tensions that permeated French society in the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319862989\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-57993-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 350\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266643611788,"sku":"9783319862989","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319862989.jpg?v=1770827116","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319862989","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
