I would also like to thank him for his general support of my candidature, in particular the support he gave to me when I suspended my candidature at the time of the birth of my first son Leon and then when I resumed my candidature some time later. I would like to thank Professor Jacques Girault who suggested Arcueil and Cachan as a thesis topic when I met with him during my first research trip to Paris in 1998, and who also gave me invaluable advice on where to research my thesis in Paris and what journals to consult. I am also grateful to the staff of the Archives Départementales du Val-de-Marne at Creteil, France, for the vital assistance they gave me in my research, including posting material to me in Sydney.

1943 Sur Le Front De L'unité : Du Front National Au Conseil National De La
Version prépublication de « 1943 : du Front national au Conseil national de la Résistance » in ROUBAUD QUASCHIE Guillaume (dir.), 100 ans de Parti communiste français, Paris, Le Cherche Midi, 2020, pp. 46-53. 1943 Sur le front de l’unité : du Front National au Conseil National de la Résistance La victoire soviétique qui clôt en février 1943 la bataille de Stalingrad fut un événement dont l’importance et les conséquences furent parfaitement comprises par les contemporains. Pour la première fois, une armée allemande capitulait, dans une ville dont le nom avait valeur de symbole. Au même moment, des armées françaises combattaient en Tunisie aux côtés des alliés. D’où qu’elle vienne, la libération tant attendue devait désormais être préparée et le combat contre l’occupant accompagné d’un projet politique commun, en dépit de la pluralité de la Résistance. Les délégués qui prennent place autour de Jean Moulin, dans la salle à manger de René Corbin, rue du Four à Paris ce 27 mai, représentent les principaux mouvements de la Résistance ainsi que les partis et syndicats associés. Par cette réunion inaugurale, le Conseil National de la Résistance (CNR) inscrit l’ambition de la Résistance de se doter d’un programme politique et d’une feuille de route communs, sous la direction du général de Gaulle. Une semaine plus tard, le 3 juin, un gouvernement provisoire, le Comité Français de Libération Nationale (CFLN) est intronisé à Alger, suivi en novembre d’une Assemblée consultative provisoire. Dans cette dernière siègent à nouveau des parlementaires communistes, dont André Marty qui quitte alors Moscou. -
The Communists Back Down
International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 6, No. 12; December 2016 One Step Closer to a Leninist Revolution in France in 1968: The Communists Back Down Yutaka Okuyama, Ph.D. Crimson Academy of Languages 92-134, Omachi 2-14, Asahikawa Hokkaido, Japan Abstract: This study observes French communist actions in relation to the social movement of 1968, especially how the communists defined their behavioral principle in order to satisfy a variety of components as well as to increase their party support. Sticking with their own tradition is the fundamental behavioral mechanism of political groups. However, a favorable outcome does not necessarily result from retaining traditional values. Thus, groups try to incorporate some new elements to encourage more flexible behavior. As a result, a conflict between tradition and innovation arises. French communist behavior in the May Movement in 1968 is a showcase for us to observe how difficult it is for an established group to absorb different perspectives and values in order to become a new entity. By the mid-1990s, through further mutations, the PCF, once enjoyed a quarter of votes in the 1950s and 60s, had virtually lost political significance in the French politics. Key words: French Communist Party, May Movement, Party Behavior, Party Support Introduction: Traditional values define who we are and restrain our behavior. Without consulting our past experiences, we can find a way out neither to move forward nor to change direction. In that sense, we can be called, “prisoners of the past.” Most social gatherings, including family ceremonies, alumni parties or community events, are meant to remind us of our own social position through shared experiences. -
(Et Du Syndicalisme) Dans Le CNR
1 La place des syndicalistes (et du syndicalisme) dans le CNR Le 12 septembre 1944, lors du rassemblement organisé par le Conseil national de la Résistance (CNR) au Palais de Chaillot, le général de Gaulle expose, au nom du GPRF qu’il préside, les fondements de la politique du gouvernement issu de la Résistance. Son discours s’ouvre par un hommage appuyé au CNR. Le CNR auquel il s’adresse est, depuis la veille, présidé par Louis Saillant, membre fondateur du CNR au titre de la CGT, dont il a été l’un des acteurs de la réunification dans la clandestinité le 17 avril 1943. Cette place et cette fonction éminemment politique d’une organisation syndicale et de l’un de ses dirigeants semblent évidentes en 1943 comme à la Libération. Cependant, elles sont inédites, jamais rééditées. Comment comprendre cette situation exceptionnelle ? Le CNR auquel le général de Gaulle rend hommage ce 12 septembre 1944, n’est pas ou n’est plus le Conseil de la Résistance originel créé sur ses instructions par Jean Moulin. D’une part, certains de ses promoteurs et acteurs – en premier lieu Jean Moulin – ont disparu sous les coups de la répression ou ne sont pas revenus des camps de concentration ; d’autres ont été appelés à l’Assemblée consultative ou au gouvernement provisoire. D’autre part, depuis sa création – à laquelle participent les deux grandes confédérations syndicales (CGT et CFTC) –, le CNR n’a cessé de faire évoluer ses missions, de se transformer, de se multiplier et de se démultiplier, au point de ressembler, dans son architecture et son fonctionnement, à une confédération. -

The Project of Liberation and the Projection of National Identity. Calvo, Aragon, Jouhandeau, 1944-1945 by Aparna Nayak-Guercio

ARAGON, CALVO, JOUHANDEAU, 1944-45 Aparna Nayak-Guercio, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006 This dissertation focuses on the months of liberation of France, June 1944 to May 1945. It analyzes three under-studied works taken as samples of texts that touch upon the question of contested identities. The texts are chosen from the main divisions of the political spectrum, namely Gaullist, far right, and far left. Although the focus is on the texts themselves, I trace the arguments found in these works to the larger discourses in which they are inscribed. In particular, I address the questions of guilt and innocence, justice and vengeance, past and future in the given historical circumstances. -

The New Popular Front in France
THE NEW POPULAR FRONT IN FRANCE by George Ross The 1978 General Elections may well bring the French Left (and the Communist Party) to power in France. The Right Centre coalition which has ruled France for twenty years has repeatedly demonstrated its inability to deal with the present economic crisis-high inflation, unemployment, low growth-which it has played a major role in creating. As a result it has been rapidly losing support while simultaneously splitting into warring factions. The Union de la Gauche (Communists, Socialists and Left Radicals) has, meanwhile, become an electoral majority in the country (a fact demonstrated both in opinion polls and in the results of the March 1977 municipal elections). Its leaders, Fran~oisMitterrand and the PS (Parti Socialiste) and Georges Marchais of the PCF (Parti Communiste Francais) are now seen as genuine statesmen and as plausible Ministers of France, by a majority of Frenchmen. Its 'Common Programme for a Government of Left Union' is received as a credible platform for resolving the economic crisis and bringing needed change to French society. Rumour has it in Paris that high civil servants have already begun preparing for the arrival of new men in power. The stock exchange has begun to vibrate with fear-and with the beginnings of an investment strike against the Left (a strike which, because it has started so far in advance of the actual election date, has had the effect of undermining the existing regime even further). The Gaullist fraction of the ruling majority has already begun a barrage of anti-Left hysteria against the 'socialo- communist enemy' with its 'Marxist programme' to remove France from the 'camp of liberty'. -
