The Forgotten Constitution: The Origins, Realization, and Legacy of the French Constitution of 1791
Éric Anceau (dir.), Les Quarante-huitards et les autres. Dictionnaire des dirigeants de 1848 , Paris, Sorbonne Université Presses, 2024, 1 774 p
Cette contribution étudie l’usage des amphétamines légales parmi les acteurs de la vie politique française, de la Libération aux années 1960. Le recours aux « stimulants » révèle les représentations associées à l’exercice du pouvoir, notamment sous le régime de la ive République, mais aussi les conditions concrètes du métier politique et du travail militant.

The French Revolution and Napoleon: A Sourcebook
L’histoire émotionnelle de Maximilien Robespierre, 1758-1794
La Révolution française n’a aucun sens sans une compréhension du rôle que jouent les émotions : l’euphorie du succès, la fureur contre ceux jugés responsables de la souffrance, la fierté dans le triomphe et, par-dessus tout, la peur de la violence, des complots, de la trahison et de la mort. Selon William Reddy, cependant, le sentimentalisme était l’émotion clé, et Maximilien Robespierre personnifiait les excès de son expression. La « terreur » é…

Un moment marxisant: L’œuvre de George Rudé (1910-1993)
L’œuvre de George Rudé concerne les décennies entre le début de l’effondrement de l’Ancien Régime, soit les années 1770, et la consolidation de la société bourgeoise industrielle, à la suite des soulèvements populaires ratés de 1848. Au cœur de son travail sur cette période se trouve la transition sociale qui résulte de la mécanisation de l’économie urbaine, de la transition du « menu peuple » à la classe ouvrière, ainsi que les changements engen…
Natural Interests. The Contest Over Environment in Modern France
The dominant narrative of French environmental history since the 1780s has been based on assumptions that the enlightened individuals studied by Daniel Mornet (Le sentiment de la nature en France, 1907) and Clarence Glacken (Traces on the Rhodian Shore, 1967) were isolated voices until the emergence of modern environmentalism in the 1960s. Basic to that story has been the légende noire of the French Revolution, seen to be a time of unchecked peas…

The Great Race: The Race between the English and the French to Complete the Map of Australia; Baudin, Napoleon and the Exploration of Australia

Mes forces et ma santé ne peuvent suffire ». crises politiques, crises médicales dans la vie de Maximilien Robespierre, 1790-17941
À maintes reprises pendant les années révolutionnaires Maximilien Robespierre a fait référence à ses souffrances, de fatigue et de santé. Est-il possible d'identifier plus précisément ces maux et leur fréquence ? Une analyse de ses périodes de maladie et d'absence de la vie publique, en particulier quand elles se sont manifestées, est révélatrice. Dès son premier grand affrontement avec un grand noble artésien en 1790, Robespierre était de plus e…

Electoral Democracy and Direct Democracy in France 1789-1851
Popular culture, symbolism and rural radicalism in nineteenth-centuryFrance
This article explores the relationship between the modernisation of economic life, collective protest and politics and the centuries-old pattern of popular festivals and rituals. The rise of social-democratic republicanism among the small peasants of Mediterranean France in the mid-nineteenth century did not occur at the expense of popular culture. The reconciliation of these two mainsprings of collective life was facilitated by the use of symbol…

Social Change and Political Conflict in Mediterranean France: Canet in the Nineteenth Century
Delight was written on every face.1 One hot spring day in 1892, huge crowds from Perpignan and its region made their way, on bikes, on foot, and on the tram used in summer to take people to the beach, across the sandy coastal plain of the Roussillon towards the Mediterranean. At Canet, they joined the nine hundred villagers in an exhausting day and night of speeches, drinking, dancing, and feasting to celebrate, on the centenary of the outbreak o…
On Rural Politics in Nineteenth-Century France: The Example of Rodès, 1789-1851
TheRoute nationale116 runs west from Perpignan, away from the Mediterranean and up the valley of the Tet River towards the heights of the Pyrenees. For about thirty kilometres, the road follows the river through a district known as the Riberal, a densely populated area of substantial villages andbourgssurrounded by river flats which for centuries have nourished up to six crops of vegetables annually. Just past the peach-growing town of Ille-sur-T…
