La Révolution et sa loi
Law, suspicion and social hermeneutics at the inception of the Terror, April 1793
This article revisits the genesis of the Law of Suspects of 17 September 1793, locating it in the longer durée of community and police surveillance, and the semantic field of ‘suspicion’ from the early eighteenth century to April 1793. It argues that the hermeneutics of suspicion, deployed by both citizens and the police as a means to ensure public safety, was a practice of keeping a watch out for suspicious social types (vagabonds, demobilized s…

A Fugitive Book
This essay describes a virtually unknown French revolutionary edition of Rousseau's Social Contract and reconstructs the trajectory of its appearance, disappearance, and reappearance.

L'auteur démontre que même si les révolutionnaires ont emprunté à l'Ancien Régime cette idée de justice extraordinaire, c'était pour en faire un usage nouveau: au lieu de chercher àpréserver un régime, ils utilisèrent une loi existante pour en créer u…

The Bastille: A History of a Symbol of Despotism and Freedom
This book is both an analysis of the Bastille as cultural paradigm and a case study on the history of French political culture. It examines in particular the storming and subsequent fall of the Bastille in Paris on July 14, 1789 and how it came to represent the cornerstone of the French Revolution, becoming a symbol of the repression of the Old Regime. Lusebrink and Reichardt use this semiotic reading of the Bastille to reveal how historical symb…
