Celle-ci s'est traduite, notamment de 1958 à 1973, par un afflux massif de capitaux privés américains. Mesurer l'ampleur du phénomène suppose de croiser les approches macro- et micro-économiques. De la première, il ressort que les investissements directs américains bénéficièrent de facteurs favorables tant du côté de la demande que de celui de l'offre, d'où des résultats impressionnants. La seconde montre que les multinationales américaines s'intéressaient au marché français, mais que, confrontées à une forte opposition, elles ont dû adapter leurs stratégies, avec un inégal succès. Néanmoins ces investissements directs américains ont eu un effet plutôt positif sur la croissance française, qui explique en partie leur poids toujours important pour l’économie française d'aujourd'hui.\u0000 The years 1945 to 1973 were characterized, in France as in all of Western Europe, both by exceptionally rapid economic growth and by intense Americanization. This resulted, particularly from 1958 to 1973, in a massive influx of American private capital. Measuring the extent of the phenomenon demands both macro- and microeconomic approaches. Macroeconomic analysis demonstrates that US direct investment benefited from favorable conditions on both the demand and supply sides that produced impressive results. Microeconomic analysis reveals that American multinationals were interested in the French market but that, faced with strong opposition, they adapted their strategies with uneven success. Nevertheless, these American direct investments had a generally positive effect on French growth, which partly explains why they remain significant in the French economy today.","PeriodicalId":45311,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH HISTORICAL STUDIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43661970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Empowering Lordship in the Registers of Homage to Charles VI (Languedoc, 1389–1390)","authors":"Erika Graham-Goering","doi":"10.1215/00161071-9746573","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1215/00161071-9746573","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 This article surveys the extensive registers of homages and dénombrements from the voyage of King Charles VI to Languedoc in 1389–90 as evidence of the reinforcement of seigneurial power through interaction with the royal government. These records established a consensus view of aristocratic power in the seneschalsies of Toulouse and Carcassonne but differentiated those who owed homage or fealty to the king. This distinction revealed a consistent gap within the stratification of social status and judicial rights of the men and women in these groups, even as references to lordship across this corpus remained stable. Lordship and nobility were thus malleable but separate concepts, and lordship cut across the divide between the categories of high and low justice often prioritized by normative models of power. The negotiations surrounding seigneurial authority suggest a decentralized and dynamic alternative to top-down models of the political development of the late medieval French kingdom.\u0000 Cet article aborde les registres d'hommages et de dénombrements faits au roi Charles VI en Languedoc en 1389–90 en les traitant comme signes du renforcement du pouvoir seigneurial à travers des interactions avec la monarchie. Ces registres établissent une vision consensuelle du pouvoir aristocratique dans les sénéchaussées de Toulouse et de Carcassonne, tout en distinguant ceux qui doivent hommage ou fidélité au roi. Cette distinction révèle un écart dans la stratification du statut social et des droits judiciaires de ces hommes et femmes, alors même que les références à la seigneurie restent stables dans l'ensemble du corpus. La seigneurie et la noblesse sont donc des concepts malléables mais distincts, et la seigneurie recoupe la distinction entre les catégories de haute et de basse justice privilégiées par les modèles normatifs du pouvoir. Ces négociations autour de l'autorité seigneuriale suggèrent une alternative décentralisée et dynamique aux modèles top down du développement politique du royaume français à la fin du Moyen Age.","PeriodicalId":45311,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH HISTORICAL STUDIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45320945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Encyclopédistes, Magistrates, and the Corporate General Will","authors":"J. Harris","doi":"10.1215/00161071-9746601","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1215/00161071-9746601","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 This article argues that a variety of versions of the “general will” were central to late Old Regime political culture and that these included not only Jean-Jacques Rousseau's most famous anticorporatist variant but also corporate ones originating with Denis Diderot and with the Parlements (via the Jansenists). These rival variants of general will discourse all contributed to an emerging protodemocratic political culture in the last decades of the Old Regime, and they furthermore framed the debate over the forms and procedures of the Estates-General in 1789. Because French political culture in 1789 depended on a plural, contested general will discourse, François Furet's and Keith Michael Baker's arguments locating the Terror's origins in a hegemonic Rousseauist general will discourse in 1789 are incorrect. The article also thereby indicates that Timothy Tackett's argument denying evidence for Rousseau's direct influence on the deputies in 1789 cannot suffice to disprove the influence of a “discourse of will” in the National Constituent Assembly.\u0000 Cet article soutient que plusieurs variantes de la « volonté générale » jouaient un rôle central dans la culture politique française à la fin de l'Ancien Régime, y compris non seulement la plus célèbre variante anticorporatiste de Rousseau mais aussi des variantes corporatives issues de Diderot et des Parlements (grâce aux Jansénistes). Ces variantes rivales dans le discours de la volonté générale contribuaient toutes à une culture politique proto-démocratique émergente dans les dernières décennies de l'Ancien Régime, et en outre elles ont délimité le débat sur les formes et procédures des Etats Généraux en 1789. Puisque la culture politique française en 1789 dépendait d'un discours pluriel et contesté de la volonté générale, les arguments de Furet et de Baker qui situent les origines de la Terreur dans un discours hégémonique rousseauiste de la volonté générale sont incorrects. Cet article indique aussi que l'argument de Tackett qui nie l’évidence d'une influence directe de Rousseau sur les députés en 1789 ne peut pas suffire pour réfuter l'influence d'un « discours de volonté » dans la Constituante.","PeriodicalId":45311,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH HISTORICAL STUDIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45458997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Mobilizing Historicity and Local Color in Fernand Cortez (1809)","authors":"A. Andries","doi":"10.1215/00161071-9531982","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1215/00161071-9531982","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 This article interrogates why the creators of Napoleonic opera, specifically of Gaspare Spontini's Fernand Cortez (1809), were so eager to publicize their source-based method for representing history. The article frames this eagerness in broader developments toward historical realism in nineteenth-century France and its epistemological claims, namely, that history provides true knowledge about the past. These epistemological claims are foundational to how historians and artists sought to mobilize historicity and local color to champion narratives of empire as founded on the supposedly transhistorical process of civilization. In Fernand Cortez these mobilizations revised eighteenth-century skepticism toward sixteenth-century colonialism into a narrative of imperial success that the government hoped would garner support for Napoléon's Spanish campaign. Ultimately, the emphasis on historicist detail undermined the opera's specific propagandistic message, but it did provide a model that popularized and disseminated general ideologies about empire and civilization beyond France's intellectual circles.\u0000 Pourquoi les créateurs d'opéras napoléoniens étaient-ils si zélés de souligner que leur méthode de représenter l'histoire s'appuyait sur des sources de référence ? L'analyse de Fernand Cortez de Gaspare Spontini (1809) montre que ce désir s'est développé dans le cadre d'une épistémologie du « réalisme historique » qui promet une véritable connaissance du passé. Cette confiance épistémologique a poussé les historiens et les artistes à mobiliser l’ « historicité » et la « couleur locale » pour propager des récits d'empire fondés sur le processus de civilisation. Dans Cortez, ces techniques visaient à transformer le scepticisme des philosophes vis-à-vis le colonialisme du XVIe siècle en un récit de succès, en vue de susciter l'enthousiasme pour la guerre napoléonienne contre l'Espagne. Bien que ces détails historisants aient brouillé le message propagandiste de Cortez, cet opéra a réussi à fournir un modèle qui sert à vulgariser et diffuser des idéologies d'empire et de civilisation au-delà du monde savant.","PeriodicalId":45311,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH HISTORICAL STUDIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48040399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monarchy's commemoration expanded to the stage of the Paris Opéra in 1841 with the appearance of La reine de Chypre, the five-act grand opera by Fromental Halévy and Henri de Saint-Georges, which reverberated with sonic, visual, literary, and political allusions to the Napoleonic legend and overt references to the ceremonial return of the emperor's ashes, including its use of the grandes trompettes from Napoléon's cortege and Invalides service. In its historical reframing of Catarina Cornaro's early fifteenth-century rise to power in Cyprus and defiance of Venetian tyranny, the nostalgic portrayal of exiled French chevaliers, particularly the dying king Lusignan, evoked France's fallen hero as it joined in the dynamic reshaping of imperial memory.\u0000 Le retour des cendres, le rapatriement commémoratif de la dépouille de Napoléon en 1840, faisait partie d'un ensemble de gestes de restauration napoléonienne pendant la monarchie de Juillet : monuments, peintures, œuvres d'histoire, pièces de théâtre et panégyriques à l'empereur vaincu. La commémoration du règne impérial par la monarchie atteint la scène de l'Opéra de Paris en 1841, avec le début de La reine de Chypre, le grand opéra en cinq actes de Fromental Halévy et Henri de Saint-Georges. L'opéra fait résonner des allusions sonores, visuelles, littéraires et politiques à la légende napoléonienne et des références manifestes au retour des cendres, y compris l'utilisation des grandes trompettes du cortège de Napoléon et de la cérémonie d'inhumation aux Invalides. Dans son remodelage historique de la montée au pouvoir en Chypre de Catarina Cornaro au début du XVe siècle et de son mépris de la tyrannie vénitienne, le portrait nostalgique des chevaliers français exilés, en particulier le roi mourant Lusignan, évoque le héros déchu de la France tout en renouvelant la mémoire impériale.","PeriodicalId":45311,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH HISTORICAL STUDIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43366036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kassav owes its commercial success in part to a global music industry hungry for new musics from postcolonial peripheries and to Paris's role as a world music capital. That Kassav was seen in metropolitan France as “Caribbean” or “world” music, rather than “French,” speaks to the historical and racial fault lines that obscure the Frenchness of the French Caribbean to many in the Hexagon.\u0000 Cet article analyse comment l'histoire de Kassav, le groupe musical antillais fondé en 1979, permet de mieux comprendre la politique culturelle de la musique des Antilles françaises ainsi que l'histoire « mondiale » de la France. La musique de Kassav représente une réponse culturelle et commerciale inventive à des structures d'exclusion néocoloniales et capitalistes dans les Antilles françaises, une réponse qui puisait dans les ressources culturelles propres aux îles, afin de façonner un nouveau genre de musique (le zouk) qui a exercé une influence importante. Kassav doit son succès commercial en partie à une industrie musicale mondialisée à l'affût de musiques issues des périphéries postcoloniales et au rôle de Paris comme capitale de la « musique du monde ». Que la musique de Kassav ait été perçue en France métropolitaine comme « antillaise » ou « du monde », plutôt que « française », témoigne des lignes de faille historiques et raciales qui occultent l'appartenance française des Antilles aux yeux de nombreux habitants de l'Hexagone.","PeriodicalId":45311,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH HISTORICAL STUDIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47855311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These diplomatic drives and their historical significance have been described by previous commentators in relation to Louis XIV's global ambitions and his efforts at royal image building. An aspect of these exchanges that has attracted relatively little commentary is the attention given by the participants and chroniclers to the sounds the French travelers experienced in Siam: how the sounds, musical or otherwise, that engaged their attention might have impeded or furthered diplomatic efforts. Within the context of the Louis XIV's attempts to expand France's influence in the world, the sounds and silences described by the French travelers provide additional insight about the diplomatic initiatives and how they understood, or misunderstood, Siam and its culture.\u0000 Une série de contacts diplomatiques entre la France et le Siam a commencé dans les années 1660, principalement à travers des activités missionnaires et l'expansion du réseau commercial de la France.

However, this narrative is in tension with the appearance of vaudevilles across many forms of print media to the end of the eighteenth century. As a result, the print record presents a narrative different from the long-standing trope of the moribund vaudeville in the latter half of the eighteenth century. This article proposes that the story of the vaudeville's demise is actually the effect of a simple but crucial conflation of two distinct song practices, both referred to as “vaudevilles,” and traces this conflation to eighteenth-century musical dictionaries. Finally, it examines extratheatrical vaudevilles in novels, newspapers, and political songbooks, showing that the genre maintained relevancy in spite of narratives to the contrary.\u0000 Au XVIIIe siècle, Charles Collé a déclaré que « le vaudeville est aujourd'hui totalement tombé », « tué » par le genre musical actuellement à la mode à Paris, l'ariette. Pourtant, cette affirmation est démentie par la présence des vaudevilles dans la culture de l'imprimé pendant la deuxième moitié du XVIIIe, et même les premières années du XIXe siècle. Les sources imprimées nous proposent donc une histoire différente de celle qui décrit un vaudeville moribond au milieu du XVIIIe siècle.

Les origines de cette confusion remontent aux dictionnaires musicaux du XVIIIe siècle.
