Préface — Penser la notion de rupture en révolution

Re-creating the Past: The Manipulation of the Notion of Rupture in Egyptian Revolutions

In March 2009, members of two Egyptian parties, the New Wafd and the Nasserist Party, clashed at a conference held to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Egyptian revolution of 1919. The conference was meant to discuss its relation to another Egyptian revolution, known as the July revolution of 1952. While the Nasserist Party – the heir of the July revolution – criticized the 1919 revolution for its supposedly bourgeois character, the New Wafd party – which claimed the legacy of 1919 – as...

Révolutions : l’art de la rupture ?

L’idée d’Europe

From contestation to conservation

In the following article, I will talk about the political and juridical thought of Emmanuel Sieyès, theorist and actor of the French Revolution. My goal is to demonstrate that the specificity of this thought is to be situated on both sides of the revolutionary crisis: it emerged in the public space in 1788, and its last developments were linked to Bonaparte’s coup of the year VIII. More specifically, my purpose is to think about the way its evolution reflects, by its changes of tone and its c...

Le droit intermédiaire

L’article retrace l’histoire d’une expression juridique, celle de « droit intermédiaire », ainsi que l’histoire de son exploitation politique destinée à dévaloriser la rupture juridique révolutionnaire. Utilisée par les juristes depuis le consulat (1799, an 8) puis par l’ensemble de la doctrine juridique comme par les historiens du droit jusqu’à aujourd’hui, l’histoire de l’expression « droit intermédiaire » et de son exploitation suit trois étapes successives. La première, sous la période na...

Thomas Hobbes on Revolution

One confusing element in Hobbes studies, as in all studies concerning classical political theory, is the way we understand the central concepts. Philosophers are sometimes accused of forgetting that concepts do not have universal or trans-historical meanings. The same comment can be made about many historians too, given the mountains of studies that research the historical facts of the concepts that we are using today. For example, when considering revolution from a contemporary or “post-Fren...

Varennes: What Kind of Rupture?

When Louis XVI left Paris on June 20th 1791, he wrote a “Déclaration à tous les Français”. The text is well known because it was broadly spread out and the original document was discovered in the United States in 2009. If it is alleged to give the reasons why the king departed, there are still many ambiguities in it. What were the true intentions of the king if he had succeeded in his plans? And above all, did he really intend not to leave the kingdom as he claimed afterwards? Although it app...

Introduction — Ruptures in revolution

Rethinking Republicanism in Switzerland during 1798-1801

Saying that the French Revolution introduced a break in History, and especially in French History, seems a common place. Thus, Philippe Ariès, when he analyses the making of History and looks at the 18th and 19th centuries, notices that, before the Revolution, the past and the present were closely linked together. He argues that historians, such as Gibbon, were looking back to the societies of the Antiquity in order to find principles that would be able to forge a path toward political action...
