FR256 The Right in France from the Dreyfus Affair to Le Pen
First lecture and seminar: Thursday 6 October, 9–11 a.m., H443.
Was there a French fascism in the 1930s? Is Paris a city of the right or the left? How strong is the legacy of de Gaulle in contemporary politics? These are some of the questions that this module will address as it traces the evolving theories, practices, and influence of the right in France from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Looking at key political and intellectual figures such as Charles Maurras and Robert Brasillach, de Gaulle and Chirac, Pétain and Le Pen, the module also considers wider movements and parties, and employs a variety of source material.
