L'âge D'or Du Maurrassisme
Jacques Paugam est né en 1944 à Quimper. De son père avocat, il hérite très tôt du goût des études juridiques et historiques.

Toutefois le recul manquait : en 1920 le mouvement dit d'Action française, dominé par l'impérieuse dialectique maurrassienne, n'était pas encore entré dans l'Histoire, il s'en fallait de vingt-cinq années. Quand l'historien américain Eugen Weber s'attelle à la compo- sition de l'étude fondamentale intitulée L'Action française, qui parait en 1962 dans sa traduction en notre langue, il a ce recul nécessaire. Mais après lui il y a encore place pour une analyse fouillée du maurrassisme en tant que philosophie politique. -
JACOBINISME OU FEDERALISME ? Alain De Benoist on a Assisté En
JACOBINISME OU FEDERALISME ? Alain de Benoist On a assisté en France, il y a quelques années, à un débat véritablement surréaliste. Le prétexte en a été la signature par le gouvernement français, le 7 mai 1999, de la Charte européenne des langues régionales ou minoritaires. Ce document, adopté le 5 novembre 1992 à Strasbourg par le Conseil de l’Europe, énonçait un certain nombre de dispositions en faveur de l’emploi des langues régionales dans la vie publique. La France, qui s’y était longtemps refusée, a finalement accepté de signer 35 de ces dispositions sur un total de 98, soit le minimum requis1. L’éventualité de la ratification de ce document a aussitôt suscité des réactions d’une violence extraordinaire. On a vu le député RPR Jacques Myard dénoncer une « balkanisation linguistique qui débouchera sur une balkanisation politique […] un suicide collectif »2, tandis que le socialiste Georges Sarre assurait voir dans la Charte un moyen de « remettre en question la notion même de peuple français qui, depuis la Révolution, est le fondement de la citoyenneté ». Yvonne Bollmann assurait, dans le même esprit, que « les langues régionales sont le meilleur moyen de démanteler les Etats sans avoir l’air d’y toucher »3. « Je ne voudrais pas, déclarait Jean-Pierre Chevènement, qu’on substitue à la notion de peuple français d’autres concepts plus fumeux, qui ont un rapport avec l’origine ethnique »4. On pourrait citer bien d’autres exemples. Ceux que l’on vient de donner suffisent à montrer que toute manifestation d’une quelconque identité collective particulière au sein de l’espace public français est aujourd’hui systématiquement regardée ou vécue, dans certains milieux, comme une agression contre le modèle républicain, une remise en cause de la nation ou l’annonce de sa prochaine désintégration. -
The Popular Front, Civil-Military Relations and the French Army’S Plan to Defeat a Second Paris Commune, 1934–1936
international journal of military history and historiography 39 (2019) 63-87 IJMH brill.com/ijmh Plan Z: The Popular Front, Civil-Military Relations and the French Army’s Plan to Defeat a Second Paris Commune, 1934–1936 Andrew Orr* Kansas State University [email protected] Abstract Following the formation of the Popular Front in 1934, French generals feared that the alliance, which included the French Communist Party (pcf), could foreshadow a com- ing revolt in Paris. Generals Maxime Weygand and Maurice Gamelin responded by preparing to implement Plan Z, a plan to defeat a Parisian revolt. Given politicians’ fear that many French officers were antirepublican, the French Army would have faced a major political crisis if Plan Z had leaked. Plan Z called for a multidivisional assault on Paris, which showed that the General Staff believed a large-scale revolution was possible. Understanding the development of Plan Z adds to scholars’ recognition of French officers’ long-term fear of communism and mistrust of civilians. It reveals that senior officers were more politicized and afraid of civilians than most scholars have realized and helps explain the military’s central role in betraying the Third Republic and creating the Vichy Regime in 1940. Keywords France – Civil-Military – Communism – Interwar – Popular Front – Vichy * Andrew Orr is Associate Professor of Military History and Security Studies at Kansas State University. He received his PhD in Modern European History from the University of Notre Dame in 2007. He is the author of Women and the French Army during the World Wars, 1914– 1940 (Indiana, 2017) and has published articles on military history and civil-military relations in the Journal of Military History, French Historical Studies, and French History. -

Modern Literature and Christianity: The Religious Issue in Lucien Rebatet's Les Deux étendards Abstract Although Lucien Rebatet's Les Deux étendards (The Two Standards) has been hailed by a number of critics as one of the best novels written in France since World War II, it is surrounded by a wall of silence because its author actively supported the Nazi movement before and during the war. Yet the novel does not deal with politics but with love, art, and religion. Based on real events, it is the story of a love triangle involving Michel, who has lost his Catholic faith, Régis, who studies to become a Jesuit priest, and Anne- Marie, a young student who shares a mystical love with Régis and also intends to join a religious order. -
The Influence of German National Socialism and Italian Fascism on the Nasjonal Samling, 1933–1936
fascism 8 (2019) 36-60 brill.com/fasc Norwegian Fascism in a Transnational Perspective: The Influence of German National Socialism and Italian Fascism on the Nasjonal Samling, 1933–1936 Martin Kristoffer Hamre Humboldt University of Berlin and King’s College London [email protected] Abstract Following the transnational turn within fascist studies, this paper examines the role German National Socialism and Italian Fascism played in the transformation of the Norwegian fascist party Nasjonal Samling in the years 1933–1936. It takes the rivalry of the two role models as the initial point and focusses on the reception of Italy and Germany in the party press of the Nasjonal Samling. The main topics of research are therefore the role of corporatism, the involvement in the organization caur and the increasing importance of anti-Semitism. One main argument is that both indirect and direct German influence on the Nasjonal Samling in autumn 1935 led to a radi- calization of the party and the endorsement of anti-Semitic attitudes. However, the Nasjonal Samling under leader Vidkun Quisling never prioritized Italo-German rivalry as such. Instead, it perceived itself as an independent national movement in the com- mon battle of a European-wide phenomenon against its arch-enemies: liberalism and communism.

RACIAL MOTIVATIONS FOR FRENCH COLLABORATION DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR: UNCOVERING THE MEMORY THROUGH FILM AND MEMOIRS _________________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University _________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History _________________________________________ by Daniela Greene August 2008 _________________________________________ Accepted by: Dr. Alan Grubb, Committee Chair Dr. Roger Grant Dr. Donald McKale Abstract After France was defeated by the Germans in June 1940, several politicians of the Third Republic formed a new government under Marshal Philippe Pétain in Vichy. The men in the new regime immediately began to make social and political changes which, in their mind, were long overdue. They believed that they could negotiate with the occupation officials in the North and maintain France‟s sovereignty, at least in the “free” Southern zone. They also believed, as did a large part of the French people, that the inadequacies of the republican system had lost France the war. -
Fascism As a Transnational Movement: the Case of Inter-War Alsace
Fascism as a Transnational Movement: The Case of Inter-War Alsace SAMUEL HUSTON GOODFELLOW Abstract The idea of fascism spread quickly and transnationally in the inter-war era. Fascist groups identified themselves as sharing fundamental characteristics and ideas. At the same time, they distorted fascism for their own purposes, adapting it to their specific contexts. As a border region, Alsace provides a number of examples of fascist groups claiming solidarity with fascism, yet distinguishing themselves from each other. Looking at fascism as a transnational phenomenon provides insight into the evolution of fascist ideology and will help explain why it is so difficult to define. Fascism is commonly imagined either as a series of independent hyper-nationalist movements or as an international movement defined by a fairly rigid set of criteria. If it is viewed as a collection of separate national movements, then the connections between these become obscure. Yet the concept of an international movement, also known as ‘generic’ fascism, ‘universal’ fascism or ‘ideal’ fascism, makes it hard to explain the differences. Both of these approaches project a static vision of fascism that does not adequately account for changes over time or across borders. Fascism might, however, be better understood as a fundamentally transnational phenomenon that has evolved through different national circumstances. Fascism was, and is, obviously transnational; militants around the world expressed solidarity.1 Equallyclearisthat the manifestations of fascism have varied -

On lisait alors les dix seules lignes consacrées, au sein d’une étude pourtant volumineuse, à la diffusion du maurrassisme et du corpus idéologique de l’Action française en Amérique latine: l’influence de la doctrine de l’Action française se faisait plus fortement sentir dans les pays latins qui envoyaient de nombreux étudiants à Paris et où l’élitisme politique traditionaliste de Maurras, ainsi que le prestige littéraire d’une école conformiste, aux œuvres accessibles, comblaient les aspirations des classes supérieures mieux que n’importe quelle autre tendance trouvée en France. -
