Sur les traces du sensible
Si d’aucuns ont tôt souligné le poids de la vie affective sur le devenir des individus, grands ou anonymes, comme sur celui des sociétés, d’ici et d’ailleurs, rares sont longtemps demeurés les historiennes et historiens à s’en emparer véritablement. Aujourd’hui pourtant, retrouver les modes de présence au monde du passé, les manières de sentir et de ressentir d’autrefois, les ressorts sensibles de la vie sociale, relève bien d’un territoire d’enq…
The Cambridge Companion to Democracy in America
Review of the book The Cambridge Companion to Democracy in America by Richard Boyd (editor). Richard Boyd has assembled a team of seventeen specialists with a heavy bent towards political science. The volume comprises sixteen chapters divided into four parts: a first one that deals with sources and contexts to Tocqueville's masterwork; another that examines the book's reception and applications around the world; a third part that analyses discret…
Ordinary Radicalization
This article follows the trajectory of a young Frenchman who volunteered to join the army in 1792 and who fought to defend the French Revolution from foreign invasion. Using his extraordinary correspondence with his family, I trace the process whereby Gabriel Noël became a citizen-soldier and a revolutionary protagonist. By analyzing his experience as one akin to racial passing, or to what the French call being a transfuge, I show the difficultie…
Sensing, Measuring, Writing
This essay surveys recent francophone historiography of the Nineteenth Century. It focussed on three areas of research in particular: the french tradition of l’histoire des sensibilités; historical works that grapple with time, space, and scales of analysis; and the poetics of writing history in dialogue with literature. In each of these areas, the essay finds evidence of innovative and creative scholarship that is changing our understanding of n…
Dear Reader
This issue of French Historical Studies is about letters. It is also of letters or, rather, of emails-today's equivalent: almost a thousand of them, after a cursory count, among four editors and six contributors, spread out over eighteen months as the issue goes into production in September 2020. These have been long and short, dense with form and content or monosyllabic in response to a precise question. Some have been addressed individually, ot…
Tocqueville and the Consciousness of Capital (Reading The Ancien RÉgime with LukÁcs)
Since the 1970s, Alexis de Tocqueville’s The Ancien Régime and the French Revolution has provided an intellectual linchpin for revisionist accounts of the French Revolution as a political event, divorced from socioeconomic logics. This article offers an alternative reading of this classic text. It argues that Tocqueville’s analysis grapples at a fundamental level with social change and tries to grasp its manifestations in processes of bureaucrati…
Les Peurs de l’argent dans la France d’après 1945
‘l’argent qui corrompt, l’argent qui achète, l’argent qui écrase, l’argent qui tue, l’argent qui ruine, et l’argent qui pourrit jusqu’à la conscience des hommes!’—François Mitterand’s famous invective against ‘big money’ at the Congrès d’Epinay in 1971 eloquently sums up the purview of André Gueslin’s book: to survey the many stigmatizing representations of money that the French seem to indulge in, revealing (and reinforcing) deep-seated fears os…
Learning How to Feel
This edited volume, the second of its kind after Emotional Lexicons (OUP 2014), is the product of a collaborative research project sponsored by the Center for the History of Emotions at the Max Plank Institute for Human Development in Berlin. It explores changing emotions and affective relationships in children's stories and educational advice manuals from the mid 1800s to the late Twentieth century. The focus is on the German and Anglophone worl…
A Frenchwoman’s Imperial Story
Tropiques Nostalgiques
People once died of nostalgia. This article traces the remarkable trajectory of “la nostalgie africaine” from its original understanding as a clinical form of homesickness to the wistful, but wholly benign, feeling we are familiar with today. It does so by looking at French attempts at colonizing Algeria in the nineteenth century against the backdrop of changing medico-scientific theories of human acclimatization to warm climates. I argue that th…
Un pays pour la colonie
Bien avant l'époque de la 'nostalgérie', les ambitions coloniales de la France en Algérie se heurtaient déjà à une 'nostalgie africaine'. Comme le découvrirent les premiers soldats et colons qui traversèrent la MÉd.terranée en 1830, cette nostalgie du sol natal était une maladie dangereuse, un mal du pays aux conséquences souvent fatales. Or, à peine quelques décennies plus tard, il ne restait plus de cette pathologie que le nom : diagnostic deve…
