Résumé
In 17th century France, the real and state-sponsored rise in conspicuous consumption and trade, exemplified by the permission granted nobles to engage in the colonial trade, did not, contrary to other countries, show up in shifts in self-representation. But this was due to conscious state censorship promoting an image of France as a civilising culture, as the story of the censorship of Molière’s Festin de Pierre shows ; a work of forgetting French society with until well into the 19th century.
