It addresses this issue through a comparative study of two labor organizations—the French Democratic Labor Confederation (CFDT) and the General Confederation of Labor (CGT)—that today respond differently to globalization even though they held common positions in the past: while the CGT opposes globalization, the CFDT sees it as an opportunity for French workers. I call the former response the resistance strategy and the latter the adaptation strategy. This dissertation claims that responses to globalization are formed and transformed over time as the environment of organizations changes and intraorganizational struggles unfold. More specifically, it argues that in France the formation of labor responses to globalization stemmed from a path dependent process constituted by three different steps. First, organizational failure, illustrated by union decline, implied a critical juncture that fed intraorganizational struggles and opened the way for a reorientation of labor organizations. Second, once the crisis was acknowledged, whether organizations would take the path to adaptation or resistance depended on three factors: (1) resources inherited from the past that limit the range of options that actors can conceive and choose; (2) the presence and content of two mechanisms of change—bricolage and identity shift—that describe how actors used their inherited resources; and (3) the ability of leaders to articulate a narrative that would appeal to enough people inside their organizations so as to induce cooperation. The third and last step of this path dependent process refers to the stabilization of the new path that the CFDT and the CGT had taken. The central mechanism that stabilized these paths was a shift in the organizational opportunity structure. Although labor organizations were not completely locked in the new path, once the organizational opportunity structure had shifted it was very difficult to return to the previous path or engage in a substantially different one. Therefore, unless another critical juncture takes place, the CFDT and the CGT are likely to stick with their current responses to globalization for many years.

Many people and institutions generously helped me along the way. First, I wish to thank my dissertation committee. Suzanne Berger went far beyond the call of duty as my thesis supervisor. She cultivates a rare balance of rigor and open-mindedness, professionalism and empathy. Throughout my graduate studies, she supported me in every possible way and consistently challenged me, pushing me to question and reformulate what I took for granted. Several years ago, as we were walking together across the MIT campus to attend a conference, I asked her whether she had ever considered another career than teaching. She answered without hesitating that she never could have done anything else. As her students witness everyday, teaching and research are her vocation. I hope in the future to convey to my students the same passion. As late additions to my committee, Michael Piore and Jane Jenson quickly became instrumental in helping me move forward with the dissertation. Swirling conversions and email exchanges with Mike provided food for thoughts for weeks while his contacts helped me when I returned to Montreal. In 2005, Jane welcomed me at the Canada Research Chair in Citizenship and Governance, at the Université de Montréal, and provided not only office space but also, and more importantly, a warm and stimulating environment to test some ideas and write up my dissertation. Her support and willingness to discus yet another draft were unflinching. I also thank her, as well as her colleague Laurence McFalls, for helping me prepare my job talk at McGill University in the fall 2006. I also wish to thank two other persons who played an important role at the beginning of this project. Joshua Cohen read several drafts of my dissertation proposal and provided stimulating feedback, helping me to clarify my argument. I have strong memories of our meetings and of his astonishing

  • Didier Daeninckx and the Manouchian Resistance Group
    1 An Ever-Present Past: Didier Daeninckx and the Manouchian Resistance Group ‘Writing is always “against”! […] Personally, I am against authority and the disappearance of memory’ — Didier Daeninckx (1997: 68)1 November 1943. Following a series of highly visible attacks in Paris, committed by the Communist, ‘immigrant’ Resistance group of Missak Manouchian,2 the Brigades spéciales (special Brigades) of the French police finally pounce on the perpetrators, and arrest follows arrest. At the end of a very brief trial a few months later, twenty-three members of the combat unit, including Manouchian himself, are condemned to death. The twenty-two men are immediately shot at Mont Valérien, on 21 February 1944 (the one woman, Olga Bancic, is executed separately, beheaded in Stuttgart on 10 May). More or less simultaneously, the photos of ten of these freedom fighters are displayed on the infamous Affiches rouges (red posters), which are plastered over the walls of French towns and cities, and which denounce ‘l’Armée du crime’ (the Army of crime), most obviously composed of people with names of foreign, if not Jewish, origin. Shortly afterwards, the Liberation of France, for which these combatants willingly gave their lives, commenced. That is by no means the end of their story, however. Throughout the post-war period, the group regularly comes back into the headlines, forming, as Margaret Atack has noted, ‘an important focal point for remembrance and controversy’ (2013: 175).3 For example, in 1955, in honour of the group, and to mark the inauguration of a rue du Groupe Manouchian in Paris, Louis Aragon writes the poem which will first appear in L’Humanité on 5 March 1955, entitled ‘Groupe Manouchain’, and then in his collection, Le Roman inachevé, as ‘Strophes pour se souvenir’ (1956: 225-26).

  • Foucault and Bourdieu at the Collège De France
    Foucault and Bourdieu at the Collège de France Frédéric Lebaron Foucault’s and Bourdieu’s commitment to ‘work together’ with a workers union, the French Democratic Confederation of Workers (CFDT), occurred at precisely the same time as the French neoliberal shift in economic and social policies, in 1981-1984. This period of intense collaboration in the intellectual field by the two leading French social scientists (at least by today’s rankings and perception) was relatively short: bounded by Bourdieu’s election to the Collège de France in 1981 and Foucault’s death in June 1984. This article describes and analyses events during this short period, through a socio-historical analysis of their two personal trajectories in the post-68 intellectual field, based on public archives of the Collège de France and secondary literature. It offers a detailed description and interpretation of Foucault and Bourdieu’s positions and viewpoints, their affiliation to and critiques of external movements as Collège de France academics between 1981 and 1984, setting this in the broader political context. Keywords: intellectual field, Bourdieu, Foucault, Collège de France, commitment, symbolic capital. Foucault’s and Bourdieu’s commitment to ‘work together’ with a workers union, the French Democratic Confederation of Workers (CFDT), occurred at precisely the same time as the French neoliberal shift in economic and social policies of 1981 to 1984. This period of intense collaboration in the intellectual field by the two leading French social scientists (at least by today’s rankings and perception1) is relatively short: it happened between 1981, the year when Bourdieu was appointed at the Collège de France, and ended with Foucault’s death in June 1984.

  • Liberalism Without Humanism: Michel Foucault and the Free-Market Creed, 1976–1979∗ Michael C
    Modern Intellectual History, 6, 3 (2009), pp. 539–568 C Cambridge University Press 2009 doi:10.1017/S1479244309990175 liberalism without humanism: michel foucault and the free-market creed, 1976–1979∗ michael c. behrent Department of History, Appalachian State University E-mail: [email protected] This article challenges conventional readings of Michel Foucault by examining his fascination with neoliberalism in the late 1970s. Foucault did not critique neoliberalism during this period; rather, he strategically endorsed it. The necessary cause for this approval lies in the broader rehabilitation of economic liberalism in France during the 1970s. The sufficient cause lies in Foucault’s own intellectual development: drawing on his long-standing critique of the state as a model for conceptualizing power, Foucault concluded, during the 1970s, that economic liberalism, rather than “discipline,” was modernity’s paradigmatic power form. Moreover, this article seeks to clarify the relationship between Foucault’s philosophical antihumanism and his assessment of liberalism. Rather than arguing (as others have) that Foucault’s antihumanism precluded a positive appraisal of liberalism, or that the apparent reorientation of his politics in a more liberal direction in the late 1970s entailed a partial retreat from antihumanism, this article contends that Foucault’s brief, strategic, and contingent endorsement of liberalism was possible precisely because he saw no incompatibility between antihumanism and liberalism—but only liberalism of the economic variety. Economic liberalism alone, and not its political iteration, was compatible with the philosophical antihumanism that is the hallmark of Foucault’s thought. For some time now, Michel Foucault has been a familiar figure in American academic life.

  • Review Article French Democracy Between Totalitarianism and Solidarity: Pierre Rosanvallon and Revisionist Historiography*
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Review Article French Democracy between Totalitarianism and Solidarity: Pierre Rosanvallon and Revisionist Historiography* Andrew Jainchill and Samuel Moyn University of California, Berkeley, and Columbia University INTRODUCTION No book has affected the study of modern French history in the last twenty-five years more than Franc¸ois Furet’s Penser la Re´volution franc¸aise (translated as Interpreting the French Revolution).1 Furet’s interpretation of the French Revolu- tion and French history more generally, and the revisionism it inspired, are by now well known. This essay interprets the intellectual career of Pierre Rosanvallon— one of Furet’s most interesting students, recently honored by election to the Col- le`ge de France, his nation’s most prestigious academic institution—as an attempt to test the flexibility of Furet’s paradigm for understanding French history and its amenability to new ends. Rosanvallon’s work responds to the most obvious limi- tation of Furet’s project, both interpretive and political: its ambivalence about the democratic project itself. The question Rosanvallon’s exercise prompts, however, is just how fundamental a break with Furet’s model is required to write a history of democracy that corrects for what seems to be an uncertainty about the viability of democracy, especially about its extension. This essay argues that Rosanvallon’s very attempt to operate within Furet’s framework in the name of a more democratic

Over sixty years later, a prize-winning French author, Didier Daeninckx, is regularly depicting key members of this band of warriors in his novels, short stories, children’s books, and other writ- ings, thereby finding himself at the forefront of a veritable wave of imaginative representations and commemorations of these martyrs for the cause of freedom. After exploring this individual obsession of Daeninckx’s and its relationship to the broader retrospective trend, this article ultimately contends that not only the author’s subject matter, but also many of his narrative strat- egies, suggest that France has still not really managed to come to terms with the legacy of the Occupation.
