Essai de sociobiograhie du citoyen-combattant parisien de la Seconde République

Louis Hincker

Abstracts

We know a lot about the rebel populations in Paris, during the 19th century, but less about the people who were part of the revolts. This article presents the first results of the research on the revolutionary days'participants in Paris during the Second Republic; they were first named "combatants", then "insurgents" and "victims" of the judicial proceedings that were set following the event. The present article proposes to think about the citizen-combatants' four socio-political profiles —politicians, working class representatives, skilled middle-class and shop keepers, common peoples— and their relations to the event, to justice, to family, to the body and to politics, according to an almost ethnological method. The notion of "stage" enables us to define the relations between individuals which were developed during the setting of the proceedings involving the applicants and the people around them, and to specify the confrotation between the citizen-combatants and the administration. The notion of "world" which articulates the belonging or the aspirations enables us to define the temporality, the cult of weapons, the revolutionary space for politics and the socio-symbolical horizon of happiness which are characteristic of the experiences of citizen-combatants during the Second Republic. The case of a family of Parisian workers the "Chaudesaigues" shows how learning sovereignty during the 19th century was linked to the corollary apprenticeship of the citizen-combatants' illegitimacy during the revolutionary days
