Topic: 3. Sacrifice and politics (16^th-18^th Century)

During the transformative period of the 16^th to 18^th centuries, the notion of the State evolved into a nearly mystical entity, perceived as immortal and worthy of the ultimate sacrifice. This section delves into the complex interplay between sovereignty, resistance, and sacrifice, a theme explored by early proponents of political tolerance. It also examines revolutionary acts and regicide, viewed through the lens of sacrificial rites. This section includes early modern printed and iconographic sources, along with a comprehensive bibliography from the 19^th to 21^st centuries, providing a historical and modern perspective on this complex theme
