Abstract (en)

Examines Marivaux' journals and Watteau's painting, especially the Enseigne de Gersaint (Berlin, Charlottenburg), as evidence of preoccupation with economic recovery and social change under the Regency, including self-definition in a highly organized social order, the function of art and artifice, the relationship between work and leisure, the role of gender, the secularization of desire, the body in social interaction, and the effect of political and economic crisis on art.
