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.

Department of Hi'sio*" y The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date AkgaS-f 30. ZOO I DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The Paris Commune of 1871 lasted only seventy-two days. Yet, hundreds of historians continue to revisit this complex event. The initial association of the 1871 Commune with the first modern socialist government in the world has fuelled enduring ideological debates. However, most historians past and present have fallen into the trap of assessing the Paris Commune by foreign ideological constructs. During the Cold War, leftist and conservative historians alike overlooked important socialist measures discussed and implemented by this first- ever predominantly working-class government.

  • Muzeul National VII, 1983
    ALEXANDRU COCIU — MEDIC ROMAN SOLIDAR CU REPUBLICANII ŞI COMUNARZII FRANCEZI IN ANII 1870—1871 de MIRCEA DUMITRIU Despre participarea unor cetăţeni din ţara noastră la evenimentele legate de războiul franco-prusac (1870—1871) şi de lupta eroică a Co­ munei din Paris împotriva reacţiunii versailleze, a aparatului de stat burghez francez ştirile sînt, în general, destul de restrînse şi disparate. Este certă însă participarea unor voluntari din România în unităţi ale armatei republicane franceze şi ulterior — după semnarea prelimina­ riilor păcii la Versailles, la 26 februarie 1871, ceea ce echivala cu un act de trădare naţională din partea guvernului francez condus de Thiers — la eroica activitate a Comunei din Paris, prima revoluţie so­ cialistă din lume, expresie a luptei proletariatului francez pentru eli­ berare socială şi naţională. Printre cei care nu şi-au precupeţit temeinicele cunoştinţe profe­ sionale, eforturile fizice şi elanurile generoase şi avîntate ale cauzei progresiste şi internaţionaliste pentru care au luptat şi s-au jertfit mulţi fii ai Franţei republicane şi comunarzi — numiţi de Karl Marx, pe bună dreptate, „asaltatori ai cerului" —, au fost şi tineri din România. Unul dintre aceştia, Alexandru Cociu născut la 14 aprilie 1845 la Bucureşti, a îmbrăţişat profesiunea de medic, urmînd între 1870—1875 cursurile Facultăţii de medicină din Paris, unde şi-a luat doctoratul în anul 1875. Student fiind în 1870—1871 în capitala Franţei, el a devenit cunoscut în cercurile pe care le frecventa în acei doi ani de frămîntate momente din viaţa politică şi socială a ţării în care se specializa pentru umanitara carieră de medic. Relatări despre prezenţa şi activitatea lui Cociu în componenţa corpului personalului medical încadrat în Ambulanţa Presei aparţinînd Ministerului de Război al Franţei au fost aduse la cunoştinţa opiniei publice din România prin intermediul unor periodice de epocă.

  • Urban Communes and Soviet Socialism 1917-1932
    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) Living the Revolution: Urban Communes and Soviet Socialism 1917-1932 Review Number: 2141 Publish date: Thursday, 27 July, 2017 Author: Andy Willimott ISBN: 9780198725824 Date of Publication: 2017 Price: £60.00 Pages: 224pp. Publisher: Oxford University Press Publisher url: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/living-the-revolution-9780198725824 Place of Publication: Oxford Reviewer: James Ryan For those interested in learning more about, and reflecting upon, the iconic Russian revolutions of 1917 during this centenary year, there has been no shortage of recent publications. Notable works by academic specialists published already this year include excellent new introductory texts on the Revolution written by Geoff Swain, Steve Smith, and Mark Steinberg, the latter two published by Oxford University Press. Another Oxford publication, Andy Willimott’s new book, the first comprehensive monograph on the urban commune phenomenon in early Soviet Russia, is perfectly timed. Based on a PhD dissertation, Willimott’s book directly and explicitly addresses the meanings of 1917. The result is a brilliant, erudite, and elegant contribution to our understanding of the Russian Revolution, a social and cultural history that illustrates vividly what the October Revolution meant to young activists inspired by the establishment of Soviet power. Based on exhaustive original research and a comprehensive reading of relevant secondary literature, it is a history that builds on seminal work in the social, cultural, political and intellectual history of the Soviet state over the last two decades or so. It contributes a rich and nuanced understanding of popular engagement with the October Revolution, a portrayal of the complex relationship between state and society in early Soviet Russia, and valuable insights into the social and cultural origins, and the nature, of early Stalinism.

  • Independence and Trade: the Speci C E Ects of French Colonialism
    Independence and trade: the specic eects of French colonialism Emmanuelle Lavallée¤ Julie Lochardy June 2012z Very preliminary. Please do note cite. Abstract Empirical evidence suggests that colonial rule and subsequent indepen- dence inuence past and current trade of former colonies. Independence ef- fects could dier substantially across former empires if they are related to the end of dierent preferential trade arrangements. Thanks to an original dataset including new data on pre-independence bilateral trade, this paper explores the impact of independence on former colonies' trade (imports and exports) for dierent empires on the period 1948-2007. We show that independence reduces trade (imports and exports) with the former metropole and that this eect is mainly driven by former French colonies. We also nd that, after independence, trade of all former colonies increase with third countries. A close inspection of the eects over time highlights that independence eects are gradual but tend to be more rapid and more intense in the case of exports. These results oer indirect evidence for the long-lasting inuence of colonial trade policies. Author Keywords: Trade; Decolonization; French Empire.
