"Quels rapports ont entretenu l'idéal républicain et la science économique tout au long du XIXe siècle, sur fond de révolution industrielle ? Cet idéal est-il uniquement politique ou implique-t-il de donner aux rapports économiques et sociaux une forme spécifiquement républicaine ? Doit-il nécessairement se soumettre au fonctionnement autonome de l'économie, marque des sociétés modernes ? N'est-il pas porteur d'exigences propres, de principes et de valeurs ? Ces derniers n'invitent-ils pas au contraire à façonner les rapports économiques autrement qu'ils ne l'ont été dans l'histoire récente du capitalisme ? Retracer la trajectoire intellectuelle de l'économiste Léon Walras - ardent républicain et démocrate, considéré aujourd'hui comme le père fondateur de l'économie scientifique, théoricien de la concurrence pure et parfaite et de l'équilibre général des marchés - permet de répondre à ces questions. Ce livre cherche à comprendre la pensée économique de Léon Walras à l'aune, non plus de l'histoire de l'analyse économique, mais de celle du républicanisme. L'idée d'un marché juste parce que méritocratique est la principale contribution de Walras au républicanisme français après l'échec de la Révolution de 1848. Égalité des conditions, inégalités des positions, telle est la formule qu'il a défendue et dans laquelle est encore enfermé notre imaginaire social républicain. Encore faut-il en éclairer la genèse afin d'en comprendre les limites."--Page 4 of cover.

La Bayadère was first produced at the Maryinsky Theatre, St Petersburg, on 4 February 1877. The scenario was by Sergei Khudekov and Marius Petipa, who also devised the choreography. The music was by the Austrian composer Ludwig Minkus (1827-1917), who spend most of his life working for the Imperial Ballet in St Petersburg. His music for this ballet-long scorned, never published, and endlessly re-arranged- has slowly emerged, since its revival began in the West in the 1960s, as a viable and si...

A new appreciation of the extraordinary life and legacy of Léon Blum, the first Jewish prime minister of France Léon Blum (1872–1950), France’s prime minister three times, socialist activist, and courageous opponent of the pro-Nazi Vichy regime, profoundly altered French society. It is Blum who is responsible for France’s forty-hour week and its paid holidays, which were among the many reforms he championed as a deputy and as prime minister, while acting as a proudly visible Jew, a Zionist, and eventually a survivor of Buchenwald. This biography fully integrates Blum’s Jewish commitments into the larger story of his life. Unlike previous biographies that downplay the significance of Blum’s Jewish heritage on his progressive politics, Pierre Birnbaum’s portrait depicts an extraordinary man whose political convictions were shaped and driven by his cultural background. The author powerfully demonstrates how Blum’s Jewishness was central to his outlook and mission, from his earliest entry into the political arena in reaction to the Dreyfus Affair, and how it sustained and motivated him throughout the remainder of his life. Birnbaum’s Léon Blum is a critical chapter in the larger history of Jews in France.

Rethinking Négritude through Léon-Gontran Damas analyses four cases in which Damasian Négritude shifted through generic experimentation: Pigments (1937), Retour de Guyane (1938), Veillées noires (1943) and Black-Label (1956). In doing so, it also advances scholarship on Damas (1912–1978) in two ways. On the one hand, it undertakes the crucial and in-depth research needed to challenge the understanding of Négritude as a bipartite (Césaire and Senghor) phenomenon. On the other hand, it offers an innovative reading of Damas whose work deserves more complete consideration than it has received thus far. Reading this essay will illuminate Damas’s works and their relationship to one another, thus demonstrating the continuity of Damasian Négritude.
