Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

  • „Biała” Rosja – Z Wschodniej Polityki Francji (1918‑1921)
    Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej ■ XLIX (z. 1) Małgorzata Gmurczyk‑Wrońska Instytut Historii im. Tadeusza Manteuffla PAN Polska, bolszewicy i „biała” Rosja – z wschodniej polityki Francji (1918‑1921) Zarys treści: Po I wojnie światowej Polska, dążąc do ukształtowania swoich granic wschodnich, walczyła z Rosją. Francja z uwagi na tradycje sojusznicze z niepokojem obserwowała sytuację w Rosji po 1917 r. Ponieważ Francja była antybolszewicko nastawiona, istniała wprawdzie szansa na wsparcie polskich dążeń na wschodzie, ale cele francuskiej i polskiej polityki zagranicznej zbyt różniły się w sprawach rosyjskich. Francja zwalczała Rosję Sowiecką i wspierała „białych” generałów. U podstaw takiej polityki występowało dążenie do reaktywowania ważnego dla Francji aliansu na wschodzie. Summary: After World War I Poland was fighting against Russia, trying to determine its eastern borders, and France, with growing concern because of its traditional alliances, was observing the situation in Russia after 1917. There was a chance, because of anti-Bolshevik attitude of France, that it would support Polish aspirations in the east, but there were too great differences between Polish and French aims in their Russian affairs. In the following years France was against the Soviet Russia and supported „White” generals. This was driven by France’s attempts to reactivate the most important eastern alliance. Słowa kluczowe: francuska dyplomacja, wschodnia polityka Francji, stosunki polsko-francuskie, Francja-Rosja Sowiecka, Francja – „biała” Rosja”, kordon sanitarny. Keywords: french diplomacy, eastern policy of France, Polish-French relations, France-Soviet Russia, France – „white” Russia, sanitary cordon.

  • From Flaubert to Sartre1
    THE WRITER’S RESPONSIBILITY IN FRANCE From Flaubert to Sartre1 Gisèle Sapiro Centre national de la recherche scientifique As Michel Foucault observed in his famous essay, “Qu’est-ce qu’un auteur?” before discourse was a product, it was an act that could be punished.2 The author’s appropriation of discourse as his personal property is secondary to its ascription to his name through penal responsibility. In France, authorial responsibility was introduced in 1551 through royal legislation directed at controlling the book market. The Chateaubriant edict made it compulsory to print both the author’s and the printer’s names on any publication. The notion of responsibility is thus a fundamental aspect of the emergence of the figure of the modern writer. The state first imposed this conception of respon- sibility in order to control the circulation of discourses. But after writers inter- nalized the notion, they deployed it against the state in their struggle to establish their moral right on their work and to have literary property recog- nized as individual property, a struggle that culminated in 1777 with a royal decree recognizing literary compositions as products of labor from which authors were entitled to derive an income.3 This professional development reinforced the writer’s social prestige and status, in Max Weber’s sense.4 The withdrawal of the state from the control of the book market and the abjuration of censorship entailed the need for new legislation restricting the principle of freedom of speech, which had been proclaimed in Article XI of the 1789 Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme et du citoyen.

  • Aristide Briand: Defending the Republic Through Economic Appeasement
    Robert Boyce, "Aristide Briand : defending the Republic through economic appeasement", Histoire@Politique. Politique, culture, société, n° 16, janvier-avril 2012, www.histoire-politique.fr Aristide Briand: defending the Republic through economic appeasement Robert Boyce Aristide Briand occupied a major place in the politics of the Third Republic. For nearly twenty years he was a prominent political activist and journalist. Then, upon entering parliament he was eleven times président du Conseil and a minister on no less than twenty-five occasions, participating in government almost continuously from 1906 to 1917, in 1921-1922 and again from 1925 to 1932. Never during his thirty- year parliamentary career, however, did he take responsibility for a ministry of commerce, industry or finance or participate in debates on fiscal policy or budget reform. It might be said, indeed, that of all the leading politicians of the Third Republic he was one of the least interested in economic issues. Since he repeatedly altered his political posture before and after entering parliament, his approach to economics is difficult to define. Nevertheless it is possible to identify certain underlying beliefs that informed his political behaviour and shaped his economic views. In order to analyse these beliefs, their evolution and their instrumentalisation, the present paper will treat his public life in three stages: the long period before entering parliament, the period from 1902 to the war when he established his reputation as a progressive political leader, and the period from 1914 to 1932 when he became France's leading statesman. As will be seen, changing circumstances led him repeatedly to alter his posture towards economic choices, but in the second stage he became associated with potentially important domestic social and economic reforms, and in the third stage with potentially important international economic reforms.

  • Un Portrait Inédit D'aristide Briand Par Marcel Plaisant À L'occasion Du
    un portrait inédit d’aristide Briand par marceL pLaisant À l’occasion du centenaire de la Société des Nations, l’ambassadeur François Plaisant a bien voulu communiquer à la Revue d’histoire diploma- tique un texte inédit de son père, Marcel Plaisant (1887-1958), sur Aristide Briand (1862-1932). Qu’il en soit ici vivement remercié. Ce document, conservé dans ses archives de famille par M. Plaisant, est indépendant des Papiers Marcel Plaisant, le très riche fonds déposé aux archives diplomatiques françaises de La Courneuve, dans la série Papiers d’agents – archives privées (220PAAP). Daté du jeudi 9 septembre 1954, le texte que nous publions ci-dessous aurait dû faire partie d’une galerie de quatorze portraits d’hommes politiques, auxquels s’ajoutent six maîtres du barreau et deux personnalités hors normes, Pie XII et André Siegfried, que l’auteur se proposait de livrer au public sous le titre Devant les rostres : orateurs de ce temps (1). La mort l’a empêché de mener à bien son projet. Il avait rédigé cependant, peu avant sa mort, un « avis au lecteur » dans lequel il précisait que son dessein, en écrivant cet ouvrage, était « de faire les portraits des orateurs les plus connus depuis environ 1907 à ce jour’hui. […] Ces portraits, ou mieux ces médaillons, ne seront pas des biographies, ni même des morceaux d’histoire. L’auteur veut essayer de dégager les règles oratoires ou les préceptes de la tribune ou de la barre dont se sont inspirés les orateurs de ce temps. Naturellement, à la faveur de ces portraits l’auteur ne se privera pas d’évoquer des souvenirs personnels ou (1) L’ouvrage devait contenir les portraits des personnalités suivantes : Au Parlement : Raymond Poincaré, Georges Clemenceau, Alexandre Ribot, Paul Deschanel, Louis Barthou, René Viviani, Edouard Herriot, Paul Painlevé, Joseph Caillaux, Henry de Jouvenel, Paul Raynaud, Jean Jaurès, Aristide Briand, Alexandre Millerand ; au barreau : Fernand Labori, Michel Pelletier, Henri Robert, Vincent de Moro-Giafferri, Busson-Billaut, Charles Chenu ; Autres : S.S.

  • France: 1914 Onwards”
    1/8 “France: 1914 Onwards” Lecturer: Dr. M. Jesenský E-mail: [email protected] Winter 2020 Introduction Alexis de Tocqueville described France in the mind-nineteenth century as "of all European nations … the best qualified to become, in the eyes of other people, an object of admiration, of hatred, of compassion, or alarm, never of indifference." France holds a unique status in the world. The "Hexagone" is a driving force for European integration and enjoys, with Great Britain and Germany, the status of first among equals in the European Union. From cinema and theatre to literature and philosophy, from high fashion to luxury manufacture to some of the world's truly great cuisine, France has been a global touchstone of both the arts and the art of living (and eating) well. The course offers a history of modern France, an extraordinary nation, with detailed analyses of politics, society, and culture. Week 1: A "certain idea of France" (pre-1914) It is impossible to understand the present without considering the past, but it might be argued that the impact of the past declines with time. Medieval and early modern France saw the struggle of kings to assert themselves against an unruly nobility. The Revolution and Empire brought a first stages of a transition to modern capitalism. The period from 1815 to 1914 saw the acceleration of changes and reforms. The making of France Sun King Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité The Empire into the Republic Week 2: War and Peace (1914-1929) The Great War, which lasted from August 1914 to November 1918, deeply marked the character of modern France.

  • Neo-Socialism and the Fascist Destiny of an Anti-Fascist Discourse
    "Order, Authority, Nation": Neo-Socialism and the Fascist Destiny of an Anti-Fascist Discourse by Mathieu Hikaru Desan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor George Steinmetz, Chair Professor Howard Brick Assistant Professor Robert S. Jansen Emeritus Professor Howard Kimeldorf Professor Gisèle Sapiro Centre national de la recherche scientifique/École des hautes études en sciences sociales Acknowledgments Scholarly production is necessarily a collective endeavor. Even during the long isolated hours spent in dusty archives, this basic fact was never far from my mind, and this dissertation would be nothing without the community of scholars and friends that has nourished me over the past ten years. First thanks are due to George Steinmetz, my advisor and Chair. From the very beginning of my time as a graduate student, he has been my intellectual role model. He has also been my champion throughout the years, and every opportunity I have had has been in large measure thanks to him. Both his work and our conversations have been constant sources of inspiration, and the breadth of his knowledge has been a vital resource, especially to someone whose interests traverse disciplinary boundaries. George is that rare sociologist whose theoretical curiosity and sophistication is matched only by the lucidity of this thought. Nobody is more responsible for my scholarly development than George, and all my work bears his imprint. I will spend a lifetime trying to live up to his scholarly example. I owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.
