| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research attempts to reveal the transformation of the Parisian police practices in the eighteenth century where corps provide one of the most important means of organization of the society. By focusing on the marginalized groups having no legal status accorded by the Crown, prostitutes, day laborers, Jews, for example, this research sheds light on the way the police include the marginalized in the society of orders (or corps). The police collect any sort of information concerning members of the groups, such as names, addresses, ages, physical characteristics, personal histories and write them down in a register. All this information enables the police to control directly the marginalized and maintain the social order.
The cases of the marginalized individuals are also analyzed in this research. They reveal the strategies for upward mobility employed by the individuals deprived of any social or economic resources and lead to a better understanding of the society of orders.

従来のポリス研究が概ね都市史研究の枠組みで展開されているのに対し、本研究では特定の都市におけるポリスのあり方やその実践の具体的様相を明らかにするだけでなく、絶対王政の統治構造といかに関連していたのかを問い、より広く政治社会におけるポリスの社会的役割を明らかにすることが出来た。また、日本近世史の身分的周縁論から着想を得た本研究の成果を、再び日仏研究交流の場に還元することによって、各分野の研究のパースペクティヴを開くことに貢献できた。
