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 -
The Historical Militancy of Madeleine Rebérioux, 1920 – 2005
The Historical Militancy of Madeleine Rebérioux, 1920 – 2005 Ellen Patricia Crabtree Thesis for the qualification of Doctor of Philosophy School of Modern Languages, Newcastle University June 2016 ii Abstract The thesis critically examines the life of French historian Madeleine Rebérioux (1920 – 2005), through the unstudied connections between academic, political and social engagement. Embedded in militancy through her academic interest in Jean Jaurès and French socialism, Rebérioux’s diverse engagement was remarkable. A leading figure of the anticolonial left in the 1950s and 1960s, Rebérioux was excluded from the French Communist Party in 1969 before later becoming president of the Ligue des droits de l’homme in the 1990s. I have developed the epistemological term ‘historical militancy’ – namely the transaction between being a professional historian and being a social movement activist – in order to assess Rebérioux’s copious archives, bequeathed to the French state after her death. How did Rebérioux’s activism shape her historical interpretation of the past? Likewise, to what extent did Rebérioux’s nuanced view of history frame injustice in her intellectual interventions in French society? Using three case studies, the research scrutinises how Rebérioux used collective action as a vehicle for militancy: from ephemeral anticolonial groups like the Comité Audin, academic activist networks such as the Collectif intersyndical universitaire and action during May ’68 through to well-established national organisation the Ligue des droits de l’homme. This critical analysis of Rebérioux’s archival papers indicates, for the first time, how Rebérioux sat at the heart of a complex web of overlapping campaign- networks. Her activism forms an unbroken thread woven into polemical political moments of the Fourth and Fifth Republics, offering a unique window on historians’ practical engagement outside of their professional academic discipline as well as a new understanding of the culture of left-wing political militancy. -

However, in the 1980s and 1990s historians were arguing that the decline of confidence in Marxism, the nature of François Mitterrand’s politics, the growth of expertise and professionalization, the rise of the mass media (especially television) and the more educated nature of the public, were breaking down historic intellectual models. -

The Exclusion of Women from the World of Politics
The Exclusion of Women from the World of Politics: The Representation of Female Politicians Running for the Highest Office in the Fifth French Republic Dr Robert John Armstrong Visiting Research Fellow University of Adelaide This is a translation of my PhD thesis which was originally published in French in October 2015 with the title “L’Exclusion des femmes de la vie politique : la représentation des femmes politiques en tant que candidates à la magistrature suprême dans la Cinquième République”. April 2018. i ABSTRACT The concept of Double Binds as applicable to women, particularly those in politics, was first raised in 1995 by Kathleen Hall Jamieson in Beyond the Double Bind. Work has continued in this area and, in 2010, Cracking the Highest Glass Ceiling, edited by Rainbow Murray, was published. This work expanded on the issues raised by Jamieson and focussed on a range of female leaders around the world, including Angela Merkel and Hillary Rodham Clinton. It nominated six double binds that were considered to impact on women who sought high political office. Due to restraints on the length of the thesis, only three of the double binds proposed have been examined. These have been selected by virtue of their perceived importance in relation to the female political figures examined. The double binds examined in the thesis are: Too Masculine or Too Feminine; Experienced or Symbol of Change; and Associated with a Prominent Male or Demonstration of Independence. The six females who are examined in this thesis are: Edith Cresson, Simone Veil, Michèle Alliot-Marie, Ségolène Royal, Martine Aubry and Marine Le Pen. -

Qu’à son tour Claudel célèbre un Barrault aujourd’hui centenaire en l’accueillant – une fois encore - chez lui, à Brangues, voilà qui n’est que justice. Homme de théâtre, homme de l’art et homme de troupe, acteur du Verbe incarné en quête d’absolu poétique, Barrault porte en lui nombre des idéaux qui nous guident dans la réalisation des Rencontres littéraires de Brangues. Désormais annuel, ce rendez-vous proposé à l’orée de l’été offre en partage une exploration de la poésie dramatique passée au prisme de toutes les paroles : exégétique et actoriale, spéculative et pédagogique, spirituelle et ludique. Si l’œuvre de Claudel vaut à Brangues comme phare, ont ici droit de cité toutes les formes de dramaturgies et de poétiques, de France et d’ailleurs, du temps présent ou venues de la nuit des temps. -

Sleigh, ed. Kalamazoo, MI: W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, 1993 DOI: 10.17848/9780880995566.ch4 Copyright ©1993. W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. All rights reserved. 4 Worker Democracy in Socialist France Bernard E. Brown City University of New York Worker participation hardly existed in French enterprise before the victory of the Left in 1981. Enterprise committees ("comite*s d'entre- prise"), created after World War II, were concerned almost entirely with external activities (travel, holiday, cultural and educational pro grams). Trade unions competed vigorously for control of enterprise committees, whose sizable budgets offered opportunities for employ ment of union militants and shaping of working-class attitudes. But enterprise committees did not share meaningfully in management It was the intention of the Left government in 1981 to transform authority relations within enterprises. The stated goal was eventually to achieve economic democracy, summed up in the slogan "autogestion" (literally, self-management). Roundly condemning both capitalism (Socialists agreed with Communists on the need to break with this evil system) and Russian-style communism (Communists agreed with Socialists that the Soviet Union represented a form of authoritarian socialism that had to be transcended), the united Left pledged to enable workers to become masters and shapers of their own destinies.1 In the summer and fall of 1982 a series of four laws was enacted by the National Assembly creating "new rights for workers," known pop ularly thereafter by the name of the Socialist Minister of Labor, Jean Auroux. -
