Summary:
This book offers an original analysis of the place and function of French history, politics, and culture in Antonio Gramsci's education and reflection. Gramsci thinks about France, its history, politics, and culture, but his intention goes far beyond that. He truly uses France to think about Italy and its place in a "great and terrible world", which at the time was shaken by the Great War, the Russian Revolution, the emergence of fascisms and the beginnings of the United States hegemony. Consisting of constant back-and-forths between France, a point of comparison more than a model, Italy and the world, this book uses the texts - first and foremost the Prison Notebooks - as a starting point to examine some of his most important concepts, such as Jacobinism or national-populism and several of his historical themes, from the Enlightenment to the French Revolution. They also explore the political and cultural aspect of Gramsci's thought, when he takes an interest in Action Française and the philosophy of Charles Maurras, the failed coup d'état by General Boulanger or the episodes of the Dreyfus Affair. In the end, however, it is always a dual perspective, indissociably European and internationalist, that underlies "Gramsci's France".
Cet ouvrage propose une analyse inédite de la place et de la fonction de l'histoire, de la politique et de la culture françaises dans la formation et la réflexion d'Antonio Gramsci. Gramsci pense la France, son histoire, sa politique et sa culture, mais son intention vise bien au-delà. La France lui sert à penser l'Italie et sa place dans un « monde grand et terrible », bouleversé par la Grande Guerre, la révolution russe, l'émergence des fascismes, les débuts de l'hégémonie des États-Unis. Constitué d'allers et retours permanents entre la France, point de comparaison plus que modèle, l'Italie et le monde, ce volume examine à partir des textes - au premier rang desquels les Cahiers de prison - certains de ses concepts les plus importants, à l'instar du jacobinisme ou du national-populaire et plusieurs de ses thématiques historiques, des Lumières à la Révolution française. Le livre explore aussi le volet politique et culturel de la pensée de Gramsci, lorsqu'il s'intéresse à l'Action française et à la pensée de Charles Maurras, au coup d'État manqué du général Boulanger ou aux épisodes de l'affaire Dreyfus. Mais en définitive, c'est bien toujours une double perspective, indissociablement européenne et internationaliste, qui est sous-jacente à cette « France de Gramsci ».
