  La démocratie moderne comme régime inédit : questions et problèmes

  Atelier de pensée politique dans le cadre du colloque de la Société québécoise de science politique (SQSP) : 20-21 mai 2010 à Québec (Université Laval)

  A l’encontre de multiples philosophies qui tendent à inscrire l’émergence de la société contemporaine dans une nature pré-politique (selon l’utilité individuelle, les lois du marché ou la finalité de l’histoire), la compréhension de la démocratie moderne comme régime inédit entend interroger le fait anthropologique global politiquement institué qu’elle définit en tant qu’être-au-monde collectif. Cet atelier vise à dégager les spécificités et les limites d’une telle approche, notamment en questionnant les ambiguïtés de la notion de « régime », laquelle peut renvoyer tant aux caractéristiques d’une organisation politique qu’aux principes structurants d’une totalité sociale. Il s’agit donc d’approfondir l’intelligence de ce lien complexe entre le politique comme forme de totalisation moderne et les multiples institutions (individualité, droit, famille, marché, sociabilité, religion) qui participent de la dynamique collective.

  The Western Society for French History

  Founded in 1974, the Western Society for French History seeks to promote the study of French and Francophone history. Its international membership includes university faculty and graduate students, independent scholars and amateur historians in the general public from across the United States and Canada, as well as from France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and many other countries. Drawing inspiration from the frontier spirit of the North American West, it brings together specialists in the study of France and French culture from a wide variety of interdisciplinary backgrounds, beginning with history, but also embracing literary studies, art and music history, as well as political theory, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology. Since its formation, it has encouraged the exploration of French history through an openness to new methods of research, while also continuing to support more traditional fields of interest. Finally, the Society takes pride in its support of graduate education through its scholarship program.
