6 The Pavilion and the picturesque
In this unit we examine the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, and its relationship to nineteenth century romanticism and exoticism. We begin with a biographical discussion of the Prince of Wales, afterwards Prince Regent and eventually King George IV, to whose specifications the Pavilion was built. With the help of video and still images we take a tour of the Pavilion, examining the exterior then a series of interior rooms as a visitor in the 1820s may have experienced them.

Résumé : On pourrait croire la psychiatrie atteinte d’amnésie antérograde, oubliant à mesure les chemins qui l’ont conduite au présent. Et son histoire, elle la réécrit parfois avec une extraordinaire politisation sélective.<
