Book excerpt: Historien israélien de renommée internationale, Shlomo Sand a fait irruption dans le débat intellectuel français avec ses ouvrages Comment le peuple juif fut inventé et Comment la terre d'Israël fut inventée. Renouant avec ses premières amours, il se consacre dans ce nouveau livre à la figure de l'intellectuel français. Au cours de ses études à Paris, puis tout au long de sa vie, Shlomo Sand s'est frotté aux « grands penseurs français ». Il connaît intimement le monde intellectuel parisien et ses petits secrets. Fort de cette expérience, il bouscule certains des mythes attachés à la fi gure de l'« intellectuel », que la France s'enorgueillit d'avoir inventée. Mêlant souvenirs et analyses, il revisite une histoire qui, depuis l'affaire Dreyfus jusqu'à l'après-Charlie, lui apparaît comme celle d'une longue déchéance. Shlomo Sand, qui fut dans sa jeunesse un admirateur de Zola, Sartre et Camus, est aujourd'hui sidéré de voir ce que l'intellectuel parisien est devenu quand il s'incarne sous les traits de Michel Houellebecq, Éric Zemmour ou Alain Finkielkraut... Au terme d'un ouvrage sans concession, où il s'interroge en particulier sur la judéophobie et l'islamophobie de nos « élites », il jette sur la scène intellectuelle française un regard à la fois désabusé et sarcastique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La France a toujours eu le goût de la bataille des idées. Longtemps dominé par la figure de l'intellectuel engagé, l'espace public des débats semble se modifier. L'écho médiatique de certaines prises de position polémiques dessine une autre cartographie : celle d'un basculement idéologique. Le nouveau monde dans lequel la France est entrée depuis les attentats de 2015, la crise des réfugiés ou la déconstruction européenne appellent pourtant une nouvelle responsabilité des intellectuels. La structuration du débat médiatique n'a-t-elle pas transformé la dispute intellectuelle en un match de catch polémique ? Fin de la "bien-pensante" ou tournant "néoréactionnaire" : la mise en perspective des querelles intellectuelles qui fracturent la vie politique française permet de mieux cerner ce qui arrive au pays de Voltaire." Nicolas Truong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « L’intellectuel moderne naît, à mes yeux, au XVIIIe siècle, lorsqu’il échappe à la mainmise royale et à l’omniprésence religieuse. C’est la société qui constitue désormais son bain amniotique et non plus la monarchie et l’Eglise. Il prend place pour un face-à-face avec le pouvoir : cet affrontement définit son identité autant que le travail de création. L’intellectuel pense le monde : les mots sont des actes, les idées des armes, les théories des canons. C’est une spécialité très française. C’est donc à la rencontre de ce personnage que je suis parti. En quête aussi d’une réponse à une question lancinante : pourquoi les intellectuels français se sont-ils mis, au fil des décennies, à penser de plus en plus faux ? Pourquoi parviennent-ils à mener souvent des combats empreints d’humanisme et simultanément à divaguer idéologiquement ? Pourquoi la nuance, la mesure, l’équilibre sont-ils devenus aux yeux de la plupart, y compris aujourd’hui, des mots obscènes ? De même qu’historien du dimanche j’ai osé une Histoire de France, intellectuel de pacotille, je prends le risque de plonger au cœur de la corporation la plus durablement puissante de notre pays. De multiples pas de côté, des impasses voulues, des choix assumés, des raccourcis osés, des coq-à-l’âne délibérés, d’innombrables jugements à l’emporte-pièce ; tous les ingrédients sont là d’un procès en sorcellerie. Mais un peu de mauvaise foi souriante n’est pas interdit vis-à-vis des intellectuels qui cultivent souvent la mauvaise foi grinçante. » A. M.

Download or read book The End of the French Intellectual written by Shlomo Sand and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charting the decline of the French intellectual, from the Dreyfus Affair to Islamophobia The best-selling author of The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the troublesome figure of the French intellectual. Revered throughout the Francophile world, France’s tradition of public intellectual engagement stems from Voltaire and Zola and runs through Sartre and Foucault to the present day. The intellectual enjoys a status as the ethical lodestar of his nation’s life, but, as Sand shows, the recent history of these esteemed figures shows how often, and how profoundly, they have fallen short of the ideal. Sand examines Sartre and de Beauvoir’s unsettling accommodations during the Nazi occupation and then shows how Muslims have replaced Jews as the nation’s scapegoats for a new generation of public intellectuals, including Michel Houellebecq and Alain Finkielkraut. Possessing an intimate knowledge of the Parisian intellectual milieu, Sand laments the degradation of a literary elite, but questions the value of that class at the best of times. Drawing parallels between the Dreyfus Affair and Charlie Hebdo, while mixing reminiscence with analysis, Sand casts a characteristically candid and mordant gaze upon the intellectual scene of today.

Download or read book French Sociology written by Johan Heilbron and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Sociology offers a uniquely comprehensive view of the oldest and still one of the most vibrant national traditions in sociology. Johan Heilbron covers the development of sociology in France from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century through the discipline’s expansion in the late twentieth century, tracing the careers of figures from Auguste Comte to Pierre Bourdieu. Presenting fresh interpretations of how renowned thinkers such as Émile Durkheim and his collaborators defined the contours and content of the discipline and contributed to intellectual renewals in a wide range of other human sciences, Heilbron’s sophisticated book is both an innovative sociological study and a major reference work in the history of the social sciences. Heilbron recounts the halting process by which sociology evolved from a new and improbable science into a legitimate academic discipline. Having entered the academic field at the end of the nineteenth century, sociology developed along two separate tracks: one in the Faculty of Letters, engendering an enduring dependence on philosophy and the humanities, the other in research institutes outside of the university, in which sociology evolved within and across more specialized research areas. Distinguishing different dynamics and various cycles of change, Heilbron portrays the ways in which individuals and groups maneuvered within this changing structure, seizing opportunities as they arose. French Sociology vividly depicts the promises and pitfalls of a discipline that up to this day remains one of the most interdisciplinary endeavors among the human sciences in France.

Book excerpt: Cette histoire chronologique des intellectuels est moins une histoire des personnes, des idées, des œuvres - mais c'est aussi tout cela - que le récit de leurs affrontements, de leurs amitiés ou de leurs haines. A travers les années Barrès, les années Gide, les années Sartre, on renoue avec la réalité - et la symbolique - des événements, on redécouvre la chair de ces hommes - grands acteurs ou personnages secondaires - qui ont tenté, par leurs idées, leurs manifestes ou leurs cris, d'agir sur leur époque. Au-delà de leur vivante figure, défile l'histoire du siècle, de l'affaire Dreyfus, qui vit l'émergence du terme d'intellectuel, à la mort de Sartre et d'Aron qui a paru sonner le glas pour les intellectuels. Encore que Michel Winock en doute...
