This volume of twelve essays focuses on two interrelated issues.
First, it addresses the historical and cultural determinants that
have given rise to what frequently has been described as "the
French exception," the unusually conflictual French political
process inherited from the revolutionary past in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries and its accompanying avant-gardism in
artistic, literary, and philosophical practice, both of which
distinguish France from other European countries.
Second, the contributors assess the exhaustion of this tradition in
recent years--noted prominently on the occasion of the celebration
of the bicentennial of the Revolution in 1989--in a progressive
"normalization" of French society that has been the final outcome
of the liquidation of the colonial empire, the collapse of Marxism
as a social force, and the integration of France into the European
Union.
The contributors are Jean-Marie Apostolides, Marc Auge, Barbara
Cassin, Francoise Gaillard, Maurice Godelier, Jean-Joseph Goux,
Francoise Lionnet, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Mark Poster, Pierre
Saint-Amand, Susan Suleiman, and Philip R. Wood.
