Commence à l'instant le colloque organisé sur les circulations militaires et militantes dans l'espace atlantique de la guerre de Sept Ans à la Première Guerre mondiale (et auquel j'aurais la joie de participer par une communication en hybride à deux voix avec Olivier Aranda demain).

Cela dans une rubrique au titre très mélenchonien, finalement. Je proposerais bien une version plus rigolote : "Bon, les gens..." 🙂

Marc Belissa just announced the publication of the six volumes of the Collected Writings of Thomas Paine. This is excellent news, one I was looking forward since Marc (whom I succeeded at Nanterre) was kind enough to come to my master seminar during my first year at Nanterre.

The new topic for the "agrégation interne" is the "Age of Revolutions". The Bulletin de l'AHMUF publishes a special issue about it. I have an article on Ireland, my first attempt at providing a synthesis over the whole period through the concept of the "war for the Atlantic Républic".

My review of Nathan Perl-Rosenthal's important book, "The Age of Revolutions and the Generations Who Made it", has recently been published in the venerable Annales historiques de la Révolution française. The link below gives a free access in January. Hurry up to read it!

My intervention is from about 50'. I speak about the true date for the founding of the French Republic (no, no, not on the 21st or 22nd of Septembre 1792!), about the transition from cosmopolitanism to republican internationalism, and about the "1798 Moment" (and Trump).

Où je parle de la véritable fondation de la République en France le 26 août (et non le 21 ou le 22 septembre) 1792, de la cosmopolitique à l'internationalisme républicain, et de Trump. Et c'est là, à partir de la 50e minute environ.

Grade inflation is also a very huge, delicate and unspoken issue in France, esp. in secondary schools and in master degrees. This debate is a reflection of our schizophrenic society: on the one side, ultra-competition and on the other side a (hypocritical) discourse about caring for each other.

Moi non plus je n'y comprends rien : on me dit que les prix ont baissé pour la banlieue, mais pour aller à Nanterre, c'est 2,50€ (où est la baisse ?) en sachant qu'il n'est pas possible d'avoir un pass navigo ou d'acheter les tickets par 10 à tarif dégressif. Merci Valoche !

Macron has recently announced that he intended to 'pantheonize' Marc Bloch. Too bad his presidency has been synonymous with a concerted, willful destruction of everything Bloch fought for, and most notably an egalitarian school and university system.

I have been updating my profile on HAL (HyperArticles en Ligne), the French open archive platform developed by the CNRS. It appears that my three latest publications (others are in the pipeline) are reviews. I already shared my review on Laurent Colantonio's book yesterday. Here is another one:

I would really like to be added. My PhD was focused on transnational history from below between France and Ireland. Now, I'm expanding my research into the popular protest movement in Ireland from 1760 to 1830 in an Atlantic and global context.

This posthumous essay by Natalie Zemon Davis, about how being politically persecuted by her government & having her passport stripped affected her historical scholarship, is really amazing. I'd missed it coming out in Sept. Thanks to @ebrandom.bsky.social for posting it.

Text: Looking back, then, at my time of exclusion, so much less dramatic than the herem cast by the Amsterdam rabbis against Spinoza, I am glad that it led me to the history of the book, or what I would call more generally cultural history. Without that, I might have written about peasant social movements, but not found my way to Judge Jean de Coras’s 1560 book about the case of the peasant impostor Martin Guerre that he had just settled. It seems as though I, too, picked up early on the role of dissimulation in human behaviour. Previously when I had asked myself about the link between my own background and my book on The return of Martin Guerre, I had thought of my years of self-fashioning as a Jew on the margins of a non-Jewish world. But now I see how the HUAC scare may have turned my historian’s antennae in that direction as well.

There a few genuinely good news in today's world. So, when Ireland clearly shows that she rejects the hatred crap which is on the rise everywhere else (and despite a very active campaign spearheaded from the US), this is very good news indeed.
