Abstract
中古晚期法蘭西王室愈來愈關注政治地位與政治理念的展示，日趨完備的皇家慶典不僅用於宣傳王權，也是國王和臣民間積極的政治對話模式，這種非對稱性的政治與社會關係在中古晚期西歐社會極為重要。眾多的法蘭西皇家儀典中，具人文性與公民性意涵的國王進城禮，在宣傳王權與凝聚臣民共識上逐漸顯出重要性。國王進城禮是歷史發展的產物與見證，滲透著中古時代文化的特性，也是理解該時代文化的符碼。十四至十五世紀期間國王進城禮對於法蘭西王權的發展與公共領域生活究竟有何影響？本文擬透過國王進城禮的淵源、儀式程序，遊行結構、城市裝飾、城市空間，乃至於戲劇演出的探討，論述中古晚期法蘭西國王與其臣民之間所存在的社會、文化與政治權力關係。
In the numerous French royal rituals in the end of the Middle Ages, the Royal Entry with more secularity implications was gradually unclosing its importance. This Ceremony enabled different classes of people in the kingdom to participate in political life. Moreover, this ritual introduced the stratum and civil awareness of individuals into the frame of the loyalty to the king and the identity to the kingdom. The Royal Entry was the result and witness of the history development, infiltrated by the culture characters in the Middle Ages and representing the culture connotation at that time as the code. This research on French Royal Entry highlights four themes, i.e. ritual origins and process, parade structure, city's architecture and space, the meaning of the drama. Thus, this article focuses on exploring the public participating degree of royal ritual, the complex relationship of the interaction and causality between social classes and ceremonies, and the symbolic meanings of this parade in the end of the Middle Ages.
