The Parlement de Paris is well known to historians. However, if its role as a recorder of edicts and royal declarations is clear, less is known of the debates that informed its judgments and remonstrances. The official records compiled by court clerks have tended to be the only source used by historians. Yet some magistrates created a more personal memory of the discussions that took place within the secret council. The diary kept by Claude Guillaume II Lambert, a young councillor at the Chambre des Enquêtes, is a good example of this. It uncovers the parlementaires’ connections, power plays and strategic postures from May 1749 to June 1751, brings to life the negotiations that took place within the assembly and abounds in anecdotes. After having been a privileged source of information for the pamphleteering journalists of the eighteenth century, Lambert’s diary offers the historian a window into the very soul of the parlement.
历史学家对巴黎法院很熟悉。然而,如果说它作为法令和皇室宣言的记录者的角色是明确的,那么关于它的判决和劝告的辩论就不那么为人所知了。法庭书记员编纂的官方记录往往是历史学家使用的唯一资料来源。然而,一些地方法官对秘密会议中发生的讨论留下了更私人的记忆。克劳德·纪尧姆二世·兰伯特(Claude Guillaume II Lambert)的日记就是一个很好的例子,他是一位年轻的议会议员,任职于Enquêtes。书中揭露了1749年5月至1751年6月期间议员们的关系,权力游戏和战略姿态,生动地描述了议会内部的谈判以及丰富的轶事。兰伯特的日记曾是18世纪撰写小册子的记者们的一个特权信息来源,如今,它为历史学家提供了一扇了解巴黎议会灵魂的窗口。

Georges Sorel’s ideas about education are key to making sense of his critique of the Third Republic. Cutting across the heated debates over classical as opposed to modern curricula, Sorel drew on a complex account of the nature of scientific knowledge to offer a sustained defense of education within the factory and on the picket line as a source of individual autonomy. Sorel’s refusal of the practices and modes of institutionalization of liberal education in his own time is a standing challenge for those who would defend liberal education today.

This article analyses the political and intellectual debates that took place in the French Empire concerning the admission of neutral commerce to the colonies at the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War (1756–1763). The decision taken by the Minister for the Navy, Machault d’Arnouville, was justified as the only means available to provide the Antilles with essential goods in the face of British naval primacy. Nonetheless, it met with strenuous opposition from the French chambres de commerce, which were reluctant to redistribute power in favour of the colonies. On the other hand, the economist Véron de Forbonnais and the Dominguan planter Pierre-Louis de Saintard strongly supported the minister, albeit for different reasons and goals. Linking questions of colonial dependence and neutrality, their theories disclose new perspectives on the political and intellectual impact of enlightened reform in the French Atlantic empire.
本文分析了在七年战争(1756-1763)爆发时,法兰西帝国关于允许殖民地进行中立贸易的政治和学术辩论。海军部长马绍·达诺维尔所作的决定是合理的,因为面对英国海军的优势地位,这是向安的列斯群岛提供基本物资的唯一手段。尽管如此,它还是遭到了法国商会(French chamber de commerce)的强烈反对,后者不愿重新分配有利于殖民地的权力。另一方面,经济学家弗尔邦奈(vsamuron de Forbonnais)和多明安种植园主皮埃尔-路易·德·圣塔(Pierre-Louis de Saintard)则强烈支持这位部长,尽管原因和目标不同。他们的理论将殖民依赖和中立的问题联系起来,揭示了法国大西洋帝国开明改革的政治和思想影响的新视角。

This article studies the strategies of mobilization and political communication of craftsmen during a revolt in Saint-Omer in 1305–6. An analysis of a written series of testimonies about the revolt shows that it was not a spontaneous happening, but the outcome of a strategically planned and cunningly carried out mobilization of men, money and means. The well-established practices of gathering, the remarkable culture of assembly and the efficiency of the mobilization of craftsmen of Saint-Omer demonstrate that these corporate associations had developed a sophisticated ‘repertoire of contention’ already around 1300. The repertoire was not new or unheard of, but rather strongly rooted in existing structures, corporate practices and venerable communal ideas of protecting the city.
