Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Marechaussee was the court, police, and army in Old Regime France, and was located at the forefront of the rule of the subjects by the king. In this study, we have reviewed the legal framework of the activities of the Marechaussee through laws and regulations, and clarified its actual activities as a court and police force through manuscripts in the local archives. The study also examined the relationship between the Marechaussee and the local population from the perspective of "infra-justice" and "use of justices".

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では国王権力と住民の接点にあったマレショーセの活動を研究することにより、統治者側の視点に基づく制度史と民衆側の視点を中心とする社会史を結合した「権力の社会史」研究を試みた。絶対主義と国民国家の典型とされるフランスの絶対王政期の国家と社会に関する研究は、1980年代以降の国民国家の相対化の議論と近年の権威主義の拡大に関する検討をさらに深化させるために、新たな参照軸を提供しうるものである。
