Historique De L'action Française
Historique de l’Action française Marie Lan Nguyen (ENS) 2004 1 Les débuts (1899–1918) 1.1 L’Affaire Dreyfus aux origines de l’Action française 1.1.1 Charles Maurras Charles Maurras naît en 1868 à Martigues d’un père percepteur des impôts, libéral et romantique, et d’une mère dévote et royaliste. À l’issue de ses études secondaires, il monte à Paris et devient journaliste, travaillant d’abord à La Cocarde (boulangiste) puis à la Gazette de France et au Soleil, journaux royalistes. Grand admirateur de la Grèce, ses préoccupations sont alors essentiellement littéraires. Il s’engage dans l’action politique à l’occasion de l’affaire Dreyfus. Convaincu d’abord de la culpabilité de Dreyfus, il admet ensuite ensuite le doute. Mais pour lui, même la souffrance d’un innocent doit s’effacer devant la stabilité de l’armée et de la France, mise en péril par l’affaire. Dans cet esprit, il lance en 1898 dans la Gazette de France l’idée du « faux patriotique Henry ». C’est son grand mot d’ordre, « le Politique d’abord ». Le but de Maurras est d’ériger un système positif et machiavélien, partant du « postulat nationaliste », contre la décadence ayant suivi la défaite de 1870, et plus avant encore la Révolution française, mère d’une société corrompue où manque le principe unitaire monarchique. Pour Maurras, quatre « états confédérés » composent l’Anti-France et ont donné lieu à la démocratie parlementaire : ce sont les Juifs, les francs-maçons, les protestants et les métèques (étrangers), qui tous font passer leurs solidarités propres avant la Nation. -

Copyright © , by University of Jyväskylä ABSTRACT Vaarakallio, Tuula ”Rotten to the Core”. Variations of French nationalist anti-system rhetoric. Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2004, 194 p. (Jyväskylä Studies in Education, Psychology and Social Research) ISSN 0075-4625; 250) ISBN 951-39-1991-9 Finnish summary Diss. One of the main components (topoi) of the politics of the French nationalists since the late 19th century has been the rhetoric against the existing ”system,” that is the discourse against the representative form of democracy, the parliamentary form of government and the political establishment. This study focuses on the nationalist anti-system rhetoric at the turn of the 20th and the turn of the 21st centuries, namely on Boulangism (1886-1889) and its representative Maurice Barrès (1862- 1923), the nationalist Charles Maurras (1868-1952), and the contemporary radical right movement, the Front National (1972-). This study aims to carry out a detailed and politically oriented exploration of the changes that can be detected in this rejection from the time of Boulanger to that of the Front National. Methodologically, the study is neither strictly rhetorical nor historical but is instead located somewhere between these two approaches. The main objective is to distinguish the political assumptions and commitments that lie behind the terminology of the political programs not only by analyzing the attack against parliamentarism and the ”deteriorated” establishment but also by examining the ”political alternative” provided, that -
Jean Cocteau's the Typewriter
1 A Queer Premiere: Jean Cocteau’s The Typewriter Introduction Late in April 1941, toward the close of the first Parisian theatre season fol- lowing the Defeat, Jean Cocteau’s La Machine à écrire (The Typewriter) opened, then closed, then reopened at the Théâtre Hébertot. Written in the style of a detective drama, the play starred the actor generally known—at least in the entertainment world at the time—as Cocteau’s sometime lover and perpetual companion, Jean Marais, as identical twin brothers. The re- views are curiously reticent about what exactly occurred at the Hébertot, and historians and critics offer sometimes contradictory pieces of a puzzle that, even when carefully put together, forms an incomplete picture. The fragments are, however, intriguing. Merrill Rosenberg describes how, on the evening of April 29, 1941, the dress rehearsal (répétition génerale), sponsored “as a gala” by the daily Paris-Soir and attended by various “dig- nitaries,” caused in the Hébertot’s auditorium a demonstration by members of the Parti Populaire Français (PPF). This disruption prompted Vichy’s ambas- sador to Paris, Fernand de Brinon, to order the withdrawal of the production (“Vichy’s Theatrical Venture” 136). Francis Steegmuller describes the disor- der that greeted the Typewriter premiere and the revival of Les Parents Terribles (at the Gymnase later that year): “stink bombs exploded in the theatres, and hoodlums filled the aisles and climbed onto the stage, shouting obscenities at Cocteau and Marais as a couple” (442).1 Patrick Marsh too notes that these plays “were seriously disrupted by violent scenes fomented by fascist sym- pathizers and members of the Parti Populaire Français” (“Le Théâtre 1 2 THE DRAMA OF FALLEN FRANCE Français . -

Of all European elections, the one scheduled for May 23-26, 2019, which will decide the composition of the 9th European Parliament, may be the most unpredictable, as well as the most important, in the history of the European Union. Far-right forces may gain unprecedented ground, with polls suggesting that they will win up to one-fifth of the 705 seats that will make up the European parliament after Brexit.1 The outcome of the election will have a profound impact not only on the political environment in Europe, but also on the trans- atlantic and Euro-Russian relationships. -
Vio Lence at the Cinema
4 Vio lence at the Cinema 1930–1944 For the Hollywood studios that had come to dominate global film distribu- tion, Marlene Dietrich’s stardom, as well as Maurice Chevalier’s, eased the transition from silent film to sound. But, at least in Paris, that transition did not always go without incident. A case that demonstrates the point occurred on Sunday, December 8, 1929, during the early eve ning screening of Fox folies at the newly reopened Moulin Rouge cinema in the eigh teenth arrondisse- ment, just below Montmartre. “Donnez- nous des films français! Parlez- nous en français!” “Give us French films! Speak to us in French!” That’s what the Pa- ri sian audience yelled during the movie, while some of the viewers tore the numbered, metallic plates of their seats and hurled them at the screen.1 The city and its suburbs, it would seem,we re not always safe places for ciné- philes or casual fans. As a result, go ing to the movies in Paris might not be so simple as dipping into a ciné- club to hear a discussion or debate, or choosing to see a new Dietrich film rather than one showing in reissue. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, one might at least occasionally pick out a film, settle into a seat, and find oneself suddenly a witness to, or participant in, a vio lence that we do not usually associate with spectatorship. Rather than vio lence onscreen, this brand was at the cinema itself. Politics typically seemed to motivate this vio lence, and these politics were almost always rightwing, sometimes carried out by the governing authority in and around Paris, sometimes by one of many fascist or fascist- leaning groups in France, and sometimes by a combination. -
Two New Studies Challenge Received Opinions About How the Soviet
First Films of the Holocaust: Soviet Cinema and the Genocide of the Jews, 1938–1946, Jeremy Hicks (Pittsburgh, PA: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2012), iii + 300 pp., pbk. $28.95. The Phantom Holocaust: Soviet Cinema and Jewish Catastrophe,Olga Gershenson (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2013), ii + 276 pp., pbk. $29.25, electronic version available. Two new studies challenge received opinions about how the Soviet Union represented the persecution and mass murder of the Jews before, during, and after the “Great Patriotic War.” Many standard histories of World War II and its aftermath in the USSR—Alexander Werth’s classic Russia at War (1964), Amir Weiner’s Making Sense of War (2001), and Yitzhak Arad’s recent The Holocaust in the Soviet Union (2009) are representative examples—underscore the ambivalence, indeed, the outright hos- tility, of Soviet authorities toward singling out Jews as the Nazis’ particular targets. Candid reports or allusions to the slaughter did appear initially in official pronounce- ments and major news outlets, but they soon became infrequent and increasingly vague; Jewish victims were routinely described only as “peaceful Soviet citizens,” their ethnic identities suppressed. Accounts of the Nazis’ killing of Jews were relegated to small-circulation Yiddish newspapers such as Einikayt, sponsored by the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee. The reasons for this suppression of terrible truths were complex. The Communists were, ostensibly, ideologically opposed to differentiating among civilian victims of different national groups, even as they ranked these groups according to their alleged contributions to the defense against the German onslaught.1 Given the extent of civilian deaths, they also feared alienating other ethnic communities. -
French Combatants' Memoirs of the Algerian War, 1954-1988
LE SILENCE DE LA GUERRE? FRENCH COMBATANTS' MEMOIRS OF THE ALGERIAN WAR, 1954-1988. Anndal G. Narayanan A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Donald Reid Lloyd Kramer Christopher Lee ©2012 Anndal G. Narayanan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANNDAL NARAYANAN: Le silence de la guerre? French combatants' memoirs of the Algerian War, 1954-1988 (Under the direction of Donald Reid) Fifty years after the cessation of hostilities, the memory of the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962) remains an open wound in French society. From the time of the war itself, French veterans of Algeria sought to find their voice in a society largely indifferent to them and their experiences. This thesis examines the evolving memory of the Algerian War among French veterans who wrote wartime memoirs, and seeks the relationship of these narratives with the wider French collective memory of the Algerian War, by closely following the constructed figure of the combatant. This study finds that French veterans' narratives of Algeria, while all expressing various kinds of victimhood, evolved in time from the political to the personal, encouraged by governmental amnesties that depoliticized the memory of the war and contributed to the impossibility of a general collective memory of the Algerian War in France. iii To the memory of Mr. Donald Hall, who taught me the importance of reading, writing, and teaching history. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my adviser, Dr. -

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.
