SOCIO-HISTORICAL STUDIES OF THE SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES Ideas on the Move in the Social Sciences and Humanities The International Circulation of Paradigms and Theorists Edited by Gisèle Sapiro Marco Santoro Patrick Baert [email protected] Socio-Historical Studies of the Social and Human Sciences Series Editors Christian Fleck Department of Sociology University of Graz Graz, Austria Johan Heilbron Centre Européen de Sociologie et de Science Politique (CESSP) CNRS - EHESS - Université Paris 1-Panthéon-Sorbonne Paris, France Marco Santoro Department of the Arts Universita di Bologna Bologna, Italy Gisèle Sapiro Centre Européen de Sociologie et de Science Politique (CESSP) CNRS - Ecole des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Paris, France [email protected] This series is the first to focus on the historical development and current practices of the social and human sciences. Rather than simply privileg- ing the internal analysis of ideas or external accounts of institutional structures, it publishes high quality studies that use the tools of the social sciences themselves to analyse the production, circulation and uses of knowledge in these disciplines. In doing so, it aims to establish Socio-­ Historical Studies of the Social and Human Sciences as a scholarly field in its own right, and to contribute to a more reflexive practice of these disciplines.

Ideas on the Move provides richly inspiring answers to these compel- ling questions. Its detailed maps of the mobility of cultural studies and critical theory, structuralism and public economics, and its dense accounts of authorial itineraries, from Arendt and Bourdieu to Said and Spivak, exemplify some of the most creative recent work in intellectual sociology and the social history of ideas.” —David Armitage, Professor of History at Harvard University, USA “Ideas on the Move demonstrates how some of the most influential contemporary theories and authors have been exported, transformed and used. In particular, it shows how these processes can be explained by integrating in a coherent, heuris- tic and transdisciplinary way hypotheses and tools elaborated by different tradi- tions such as field theory, center-periphery framework, network analysis, comparative approach and transnational perspective.” —Anna Boschetti, Professor of French Literature, University of Venice, Italy [email protected] Contents 1 Introduction 1 Gisèle Sapiro, Marco Santoro, and Patrick Baert Part I The irculationC of Paradigms and Theories 29 2 The nternationalI Circulation of Structuralism: Between Appropriations and Rejections 31 Gisèle Sapiro and Lucile Dumont 3 The eceptionR of Structuralism in Argentina (1960s–1970s) 55 Ezequiel Grisendi and Andrea Novello 4 A Case Study of the Reception of “Structuralism” in English Studies in the United Kingdom 83 Marcus Morgan and Patrick Baert 5 The mportationI of the “Frankfurt School” (and “Critical Theory”) in France 103 Louis Pinto xi [email protected] xii Contents 6 Crossing Disciplines Across Borders: How (British) Cultural Studies Have Been Imported (and Translated) in Italy, France, and German-Speaking Countries 133 Marco Santoro, Barbara Grüning, and Gerardo Ienna 7 TheTransnational Making of a Subdiscipline: The Biarritz Conference and the Institutionalization of “Public Economics” 181 Mathieu Hauchecorne Part II The nternationalI Reception of Key Thinkers 207 8 Globalizing Gramsci: The Resuscitation of a Repressed Intellectual 209 Marco Santoro, Andrea Gallelli, and Matteo Gerli 9 On the Edge of Disciplines: Reception of Karl Polanyi in France (1974–2014) 245 Jean-Michel Chahsiche 10 TheTroubled Legitimation of Hannah Arendt in the German and Italian Intellectual Field: 1962–2015 271 Barbara Grüning 11 From Social Theorist to Global Intellectual: The International Reception of Bourdieu’s Work and Its Effect on the Author 299 Gisèle Sapiro 12 Foucault in Hungary: The Case of a Peculiar (Non-)Reception 323 Balázs Berkovits [email protected] Contents xiii 13 The eceptionR of a “Traveling Theory”: Edward Said’s Citations in the French Academic Publishing Space 347 Clarisse Fordant and Mohamed Amine Brahimi 14 Can the Subaltern Speak (in French)?
