  • Université De Montréal La Perception Du Boulangisme Par La Presse
    Université de Montréal La perception du boulangisme par la presse britannique par Catherine Lagrange Département d’histoire Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade Maître ès arts (M.A.) en histoire Août 2016 © Catherine Lagrange, 2016 RÉSUMÉ Au cours de la deuxième moitié des années 1880, la vie politique française est marquée par l’émergence du boulangisme. Ce mouvement contestataire éphémère, qui se forme autour du général Boulanger, rassemble aussi bien des membres de la gauche que de la droite grâce à un programme qui se résume principalement au slogan «Dissolution, constituante, révision». En s’opposant au régime parlementaire des républicains modérés, le boulangisme menace la Troisième République et suscite également des craintes à l’échelle européenne, alors qu’on appréhende qu’une victoire du «général Revanche» n’entraîne, volontairement ou non, une nouvelle guerre européenne. Ce mémoire vise à approfondir les connaissances sur la perception du boulangisme hors France en analysant le contenu de quatre journaux britanniques (le Birmingham Daily Post, le Manchester Guardian, le Scotsman et le Times) qui ont été choisis afin d’assurer une représentation géographique et politique. Les deux premiers chapitres abordent la perception de l’impact du boulangisme sur la scène européenne et sur la scène politique française, alors que le dernier chapitre s’attarde à l’image que se fait la presse britannique du général Boulanger comme individu. Ce qui se dégage de cette analyse est une perception principalement négative du boulangisme. MOTS-CLÉS : Boulangisme; Général Georges Ernest Jean-Marie Boulanger; Presse; Grande- Bretagne; Perception; France.

  • Robert Gildea, Eternal France
    Eternal France 193 Eternal France: Crisis and National Self-Perception in France, 1870-2005 Robert Gildea* Her glorious fatherland is henceforth the pilot of humanity’s vessel. Jules Michelet, 18311 We have all peasant ancestors Claude Michelet, 19752 The rejection by the French electorate of the European Constitutional Treaty on 29 May 2005 effectively brought the movement towards a federal Europe to a stop. It might be interpreted as purely contingent, an aberrant victory of the “little French,” Eurosceptic tendency that had been held at bay by the pro-European liberal élite in the Maastricht vote of 1992 but now took its turn to triumph. France was divided into a Europhile and Europhobe tendency that were fairly evenly balanced and a further vote would see the majority pass back to the Europhiles. The effectiveness of the anti- federalist campaign, however, suggested that the result of 2005 was not an unexpected event but the expression of a deep-seated anxiety about outside threats to French national identity which in fact has manifested itself frequently at times of national crisis. The Past in French History, published in 1994, postulated two basic models of French national identity. One was that of a confident France defined by a striving after greatness. “France cannot be France without greatness,” de Gaulle began his Mémoires de guerre in 1954, echoing the notion of the “great nation accustomed to * Robert Gildea is Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford. 1 Jules Michelet, “Introduction à l’histoire universelle,” in Oeuvres complètes, vol. 2, ed.

  • 1 Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-81062-3 - The Legacy of the French Revolutionary Wars: The Nation-in-Arms in French Republican Memory Alan Forrest Excerpt More information 1 Introduction It was during the nineteenth century that the legend of the nation- in-arms achieved its fullest expression, presenting an idealised image of the citizen-soldier to which republicans, in France and in many other parts of Europe, remained firmly wedded right up to the Great War of 1914–18. The legend was rooted in notions of civic equality and citi- zenship, emphasising the courage and resolution of young men who believed in their cause and fought for their people and their nation, selflessly and without regret. In a spirit of willing sacrifice that was reminiscent of the virtue of Athens or Sparta, they were depicted as heroes defending right against the massed forces of darkness, as the Gallic embodiment of an enduring Classical myth. And if in the twen- tieth century this image lost much of its potency, that had less to do with the popular appeal of the legend – the demand that all should serve the nation in moments of great danger, that rich and poor alike should share in acts of collective sacrifice, continued to be persuasive – than with the more specialist nature of warfare and the technological needs of modern armies. The imposition of mass conscription or the call to popular insurrection against an invader made sense when wars were fought by huge infantry regiments or when fighting meant sniper- fire from the roofs of Paris; they become less relevant in an age when armies have specialist tank regiments and rely on missile technology.

  • La Crise Du Parti Nationaliste (PRNS, Successeur Des Jeunesses Patriotes) À La Fin Des Années Trente
    La crise du parti nationaliste (PRNS, successeur des Jeunesses Patriotes) à la fin des années trente Jean PHILIPPET Docteur en histoire contemporaine Il était sans doute fatal qu’en traitant de la recomposition des droites sous la Chambre du Front populaire, il fût aussi question de décomposi- tion et tel est le cas du parti nationaliste, entendons par-là le courant poli- tique qui se réclame pendant dans l’entre-deux-guerres de sa filiation avec la Ligue des patriotes (LDP) de Paul Déroulède. Dans les dernières années du régime, alors que la vieille ligue est moribonde, il s’agit surtout du Parti républicain national et social de Pierre Taittinger, un succédané de la Ligue des Jeunesses patriotes, elle-même issue en 1924 de la LDP. Le 10 juin 1940, alors que les troupes allemandes avancent rapidement vers Paris, Pierre Taittinger décide de saborder son parti, le Parti républi- cain national et social, alors qu’au même moment la Ligue des patriotes décide, elle aussi, de mettre fin à soixante ans d’une existence mouve- mentée. La mort du parti nationaliste est consommée. Les quatre années qui précèdent forment la chronique d’une fin annon- cée depuis la dissolution des ligues en 1936, une chronique marquée par l’échec de toutes les tentatives de recomposition politique pour conserver un rôle central, à mi-chemin de la droite parlementaire et de la droite pro- testataire, à la descendance du vieux parti nationaliste et plébiscitaire de Paul Déroulède et de Maurice Barrès. C’est bien, en effet d’une mort dont il s’agit, d’une mort et non d’une simple crise : nul ne viendra par la suite en réclamer l’héritage, personne ne proclamera sa filiation directe avec ce nationalisme.

London and New York: Routledge, 2002. x + 209 pp. Notes, bibliography, and index. $90.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 0-415- 23981-8; $25.95 U.S. (pb). ISBN 0-415-23982-6. Review by Andrés H. Reggiani, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Buenos Aires. Peter Davies is Senior Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of Huddersfield and author of two other books on twentieth-century French history.[1] The Extreme Right in France is, in his own words, "not primarily about people or events, but ideas" (p. 4). Convinced that "for good or for bad the far right has been a major player in French history," Davies seeks to approach the topic in a "non-polemical fashion" (p. 144). He wants neither to "denigrate or undermine" the extreme right nor to be "overjudgemental or pejorative" but to explain it in "neutral and objective" terms (p. 4). The book consists of an introduction, a historiographical essay, five thematic chapters that span the period between the French Revolution and Le Pen, and a final evaluation. Most of the introduction reads as a personal account of the author's "eye-opening" trip across France that led him to the "discovery" of the Le Pen phenomenon where he least expected it (p. 6). Chapter one condenses some of the historiographical debates and attempts, not entirely successfully, to offer a working definition of the extreme right.

    APPENDICES 342 Appendices Appendix 1: The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen) Approved by the National Assembly of France, 26 August 1789 The representatives of the French people, organized as a National Assembly, believing that the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of man are the sole cause of public calamities and of the corruption of governments, have determined to set forth in a solemn declaration the natural, inalienable, and sacred rights of man, in order that this declaration, being constantly before all the members of the Social body, shall remind them continually of their rights and duties; in order that the acts of the legislative power, as well as those of the executive power, may be compared at any moment with the objects and purposes of all political institutions and may thus be more respected, and, lastly, in order that the grievances of the citizens, based hereafter upon simple and incontestable principles, shall tend to the maintenance of the constitution and redound to the happiness of all. Therefore, the National Assembly recognizes and proclaims, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following rights of man and of the citizen: Articles 1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good. 2. The aim of all political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression. 3.

    c/ PAUL D^ROULfeDE, REVANCHIST by EDWARD LEAVELL BYRD, JR., B.A., M.A. A DISSERTATION IN HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Accepted December, 1969 ^l^C'lll** IU9 FOREWORD This study of the life of Paul D^roulede developed from a realization that his career had importance both within the setting of his time and as a precursor of twentieth century right-wing nationalist movements. Therefore, the major events in D^roul4de's life and his political ideas expressed in his speeches and writings received close scrutiny in an attempt to determine the immediate and long-range sig­ nificance of his career. The persistent desire to revenge France's defeat by Germany in 1870-71, to reacquire Alsace-Lorraine, and to restore, by means of a strong state headed by a popular executive, the lost glories and prestige of France consumed Deroul^de's energies. He actively sought a change in the governmental structure of the Third Republic and led an abortive coup to obtain that goal in 1899, Both by his methods and his attitudes he foreshadowed later French nation­ alistic movements. The kind help and encouragement of several persons facilitated the writing of this thesis. Donald N. Brown, professor of history at Southeastern Oklahoma State College, graciously consented to read the initial manuscript; Wade Baskin, Chairman of the Department of Foreign Languages, aided in the translation of some difficult French phrases; and Mrs. Mamie Harris, librarian, helpfully procured materials through interlibrary loan.

Her “de-demonization” strategy has indeed improved the image of the movement and attracted new voters. But the nativist anti-immigrant message is the same as Jean-Marie Le Pen’s.

Even with Paris recaptured, the Commune crushed and its remaining partisans exiled or extinguished against the wall of the Père Lachaise cemetery, French politicians harbored no illusions that this revolution would be the last. After all, the political history of the previous century in France had been one in which, paradoxically, the only constant was change and the only enduring tradition that of revolution.
