Gaëlle Demelemestre is a research fellow at the Institut d'histoire des représentations et des idées dans les modernités (IHRIM, UMR 5317 CNRS/ENS Lyon). In 2009, she defended a thesis on the conceptualization of sovereignty and its metamorphoses in the ^{16th-18thcenturies} . Her current research focuses on the interactions between law, politics and theology in early modernity, and on theorizations of the state and the right of resistance. She is also preparing the first French translation of the Politica methodice digesta by political theorist Johannes Althusius.
