This essay examines the French reception of the Carl Schmitt's thought, specifically its Hegelian strand. Beginning with the early readings of Schmitt's thought by Alexandre Kojève and Georges Bataille during the mid-1930s, it attends to the partial adoption of Schmitt's friend/enemy distinction and his theories of sovereignty and neutralization in Kojève and Bataille's Hegelian writings, as well as to their critical responses. The essay then turns to examine the reading of Kojève by the Jesuit Hegelian résistant Gaston Fessard during the war, a reading specifically intended to delegitimate Vichy as a "slave-prince," resistance to whom would be legitimate. The final section returns to Bataille and his 1948 book The Accursed Share in order to propose that his Maussian understanding of the Marshall Plan suggested an overcoming of the friend/enemy distinction, a suggestion that was later made explicit in a 1957 talk by Kojève at Düsseldorf before Schmitt and a group of his supporters. At stake throughout are both the thoroughly critical reception of Schmitt, the particular political inflection of Hegel carried out by and in Kojève's reading, and certain methodological links between conceptual history and the reception history.

"The Routledge Handbook in the History and Sociology of Ideas establishes a new and comprehensive way of working in the history and sociology of ideas, in order to obviate several longstanding gaps that have prevented a fruitful interdisciplinary and international dialogues. Pushing global intellectual history forward, it uses methodological innovations in the history of concepts, gender history, imperial history, and history of normativity, many of which have emerged out of intellectual history in recent years, and it especially foregrounds the role of field theory for delimiting objects of study but also in studying transnational history and migration of persons and ideas. The chapters also explore how intellectual history crosses the study of particular domains: law, politics, economy, science, life sciences, social and human sciences, book history, literature, and emotions"--

L'histoire intellectuelle et la sociologie des intellectuels ont connu des développements séparés aux États-Unis et en France. Le présent article, issu d'une collaboration de plus de six ans ayant donné lieu à la publication du Routledge Handbook of the History and Sociology of Ideas , propose des articulations entre ces approches, tout en dressant un état des lieux des développements récents (et foisonnants) au sein de chacune d'elles. Cette divergence disciplinaire n'a pas lieu d'être et les approches peuvent au contraire se féconder mutuellement tant sur le plan méthodologique que théorique. L'histoire intellectuelle gagne à appréhender plus systématiquement le « contexte » d'énonciation en recourant au concept de champ, à l'analyse des trajectoires individuelles et collectives et à des méthodes quantitatives (par exemple l'analyse des réseaux de citations). Réciproquement, la sociologie des intellectuels qui avait par trop délaissé les contenus, s'enrichit des approches promues par la Begriffsgeschichte , l'épistémologie historique et l'École de Cambridge, partiellement introduites en France non seulement par les historiennes et historiens mais aussi par le programme d'histoire sociale des idées politiques qui suggérait déjà une telle synthèse et a œuvré en ce sens. La présente proposition l'élargit et intègre les apports de l'histoire intellectuelle étasunienne, en plein essor.

What is sovereignty? Often taken for granted or seen as the ideology of European states vying for supremacy and conquest, the concept of sovereignty remains underexamined both in the history of its practices and in its aesthetic and intellectual underpinnings. Using global intellectual history as a bridge between approaches, periods, and areas, The Scaffolding of Sovereignty deploys a comparative and theoretically rich conception of sovereignty to reconsider the different schemes on which it has been based or renewed, the public stages on which it is erected or destroyed, and the images and ideas on which it rests.The essays in The Scaffolding of Sovereignty reveal that sovereignty has always been supported, complemented, and enforced by a complex aesthetic and intellectual scaffolding. This collection takes a multidisciplinary approach to investigating the concept on a global scale, ranging from an account of a Manchu emperor building a mosque to a discussion of the continuing power of Lenin's corpse, from an analysis of the death of kings in classical Greek tragedy to an exploration of the imagery of "the people" in the Age of Revolutions. Across seventeen chapters that closely study specific historical regimes and conflicts, the book's contributors examine intersections of authority, power, theatricality, science and medicine, jurisdiction, rulership, human rights, scholarship, religious and popular ideas, and international legal thought that support or undermine different instances of sovereign power and its representations.
