Podcasts about french revolutionary

Empress Josephine was one of the most fascinating women of the French Revolutionary period. Little Jo started out as the oldest daughter of a French noble family in the Caribbean with plenty of clout but not enough cash, so she was soon married off to her first husband, who provided her with the cash she needed but not the love. The French Revolution turned her life upside down, and in the fight for financial security, she met a rising star named Napoloan, who would carry her from being the wife of a soldier to being the empress of his short-lived empire.

Dr Graeme Callister, Senior Lecturer in History and War Studies at York St John University, joins Clemens and Alex S to explore the nature and character of battle during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

Not one movement but a multiplicity of movements engaging in protest and direct action brought down France's absolutist regime in 1789. Micah Alpaugh describes popular uprisings and insurrections in Paris and the provinces that operated without central leadership and later inspired anarchists around the globe. Micah Alpaugh, The People's Revolution of 1789 Cornell University Press, 2024 (Image on main page from Rama.) The post French Revolutionary Movements appeared first on KPFA.

Bernie Campbell is joined by Rachel Blackman-Rogers, lecturer in defence studies at Kings College London, and Olivier Aranda, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Brest, to discuss a remarkable set of naval engagements, unique in many ways in the 1792-1815 period and the last of their kind during the French Revolutionary wars.

Is this the most significant opposed landing of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars? The assault on the beaches of Aboukir Bay by British forces under Abercromby [from around 13:00] was certainly a dramatic affair. So too was the Battle of Alexandria [from 23:15] which followed against the desperate remnants of the French expeditionary force abandoned by Napoleon Bonaparte less than a year and a half before. While this might not have been a strategically vital affair, it did provide the British with a bargaining chip ahead of the talks culminating in the Peace of Amiens. Phil Ball talks us through the Army-Navy bust-ups which preceded the landing, the fighting on the beaches and in front of Alexandria. Then from around [45:00] Phil offers some final thoughts in defence of amphibious operations like these.

Whether tap dancing on ceilings, delighting audiences as an ill-tempered anthropomorphic octopus, or robbing the citizens of French Revolutionary era Paris, Gavin Lee has been a mainstay on Broadway and the West End for decades. Creating the roles of Bert in both West End and Broadway productions of Mary Poppins, Squidward in the ever-produced Spongebob Squarepants and most recently seen (by me, anyway) in the stunning West End production of Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, Gavin is a delight through and through. Neighbors for years during my time in Maplewood, NJ, Gavin and I stroll a bit down memory lane but many of the tales shared during the episode are new to me and I hope you'll be as ticked by them as I was!  As Gavin is currently touring the globe in an all new stadium concert production of Les Miserables, we shall keep our collective fingers crossed, that we here on this side of the pond will be able to witness this man's extraordinary talents back in New York very very soon!  Enjoy!

1793 is a year of opportunities thrown away.  The allies dominate the poorly disciplined French army, but waste the summer in pointless sieges, even after the road to France is wide open.  All the allies are narrowly focused on selfish interests rather than interested in setting France to rights.  The siege of Dunkirk reveals the British are also not ready for war.The battle of Neerwinden and the other major actions of the war in Belgium.  There is also coverage of the Pyrenees Campaign and Toulon.We see early actions for Ney, Bernadotte, Mortier and Jourdan for the French.  Archduke Charles, Schwartzenberg, Mack, the Duke of York and Scharnhorst for the allies.  

This covers the first year of the War of the First Coalition, which ends with the "homicidal philanthropy of France."Brunswick's invasion, the battle of Valmy, the battle of Jemappes, Dumoriez's conquest of Belgium.  The creation of the Army of Italy, operations in the Rhineland and what life was like for those occupied by French Revolutionary armies.

This Day in Legal History: Louis XVI Put on TrialOn December 26, 1792, a significant event in legal history unfolded as Romain de Sèze, a dedicated defense attorney, stood before a French Revolutionary court to defend the deposed King Louis XVI. This trial was a pivotal moment during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. Louis XVI, once a symbol of monarchical power, faced thirty-three serious charges, primarily centered around treason and crimes against the state. These accusations reflected the intense political and social upheaval of the era.De Sèze's defense was a remarkable effort under the circumstances, given the prevailing revolutionary fervor and the public's animosity towards the monarchy. His arguments focused on disputing the legitimacy of the charges and the authority of the court itself to try a king. Despite his efforts, the trial led to a conviction for Louis XVI. On January 15, 1793, the former king was found guilty.This trial and the subsequent events were a testament to the drastic changes in French society and governance. The execution of Louis XVI by guillotine on January 21, 1793, just days after his conviction, marked a profound shift in the balance of power. It signaled the end of absolute monarchy in France and the rise of revolutionary ideals.The trial of Louis XVI remains a critical study in legal history, illustrating the complexities of law and justice during times of political upheaval. It serves as a reminder of how legal processes can be deeply intertwined with the socio-political context of their times.In fiscal year 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) witnessed a significant decline in the number of whistleblowers receiving awards, despite an unprecedented surge in tips. The SEC received over 18,000 tips, marking a 50% increase from the previous year. However, only 68 informants were compensated, a stark contrast to the more than 100 in each of the preceding two years. This decline occurred in a period marked by a record payout to a single whistleblower, who received $279 million for exposing a $1 billion fraud at Swedish telecom LM Ericsson.The program, established under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law following Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, is designed to encourage reporting of financial misconduct. Since its inception, it has recovered over $6 billion and paid out nearly $2 billion to informants. In the last year alone, nearly $600 million was awarded, with significant sums going to a few individuals, including a group of seven whistleblowers who shared $104 million.However, the program faces challenges. Attorneys and participants note it is struggling under its own success, hampered by insufficient resources and staffing despite the increasing number of tips. This has led to delays in payouts and difficulties in appeal processes for whistleblowers. Additionally, there is a lack of transparency and communication from the SEC, as evidenced by the limited information shared in its annual reports and decisions to seal critical rulings or deny Freedom of Information Act requests.A 2022 Bloomberg Law investigation revealed that the SEC often exceeded its mandate for secrecy and inconsistently applied its own rules in decision-making. The whistleblower process, involving an initial vetting by the enforcement division followed by payment determination by the Office of the Whistleblower, can be lengthy, with payouts varying between 10% and 30% of recovered funds.Calls for reform have been made, urging Congress to allocate more resources to expedite the process and address issues like non-payment in cases of corporate bankruptcy. The case of whistleblowers John McPherson and John Barr, who uncovered a $1 billion fraud but were denied awards due to the bankruptcy of the involved company, highlights this issue.The purpose of the SEC whistleblower program extends beyond protecting informants; it aims to uphold the stability of U.S. financial markets. Experts suggest improvements like providing more updates to whistleblowers during lengthy investigations and ensuring adequate resources for the program to continue its critical role in enforcing U.S. securities laws.SEC Payouts to Whistleblowers Plummet Amid Record Surge in TipsIn 2024, legislative and ballot initiatives across various U.S. states will focus on raising minimum wages, influenced by past successes in this arena. States that haven't yet reached a $15 minimum wage, like Ohio and Oklahoma, are considering ballot proposals, while Michigan faces legal battles over past and future initiatives. In contrast, states with an existing $15 minimum wage, such as California and Hawaii, are pushing for even higher rates, with California proposing an $18 minimum by 2026 and Hawaii enacting a gradual increase to the same amount by 2028.A notable development in California includes industry-specific minimum wages, with $20 for fast-food workers and $25 for health-care facility workers, a strategy that labor groups may replicate in other labor-friendly states. This trend reflects a shift in labor strategies, focusing on sector-specific wage increases. However, these rising wages present challenges for employers, especially small businesses, grappling with staffing shortages and inflation.The federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 since 2009, leading state and local governments to take the lead in wage policy. In 2024, over 20 states and around 40 cities and counties will implement increased minimum wages. Despite these efforts, some, like Sen. Bernie Sanders, advocate for a higher nationwide minimum wage, facing resistance even within the Democratic Party.Progressive groups argue that recent wage increases are insufficient for workers, particularly in high-cost areas like New York. They urge further legislative review and adjustment, citing inflation as a factor in reassessing wage goals. The "Fight for $15" movement, once a benchmark, now seems outdated as advocates push for higher minimums in several states.Several states are set to reach or exceed $15 minimum wages in 2024, with local governments in some areas already mandating over $17 per hour. In Republican-majority states, where legislatures oppose wage hikes, voter-approved ballot measures have successfully raised minimum wages, as seen in Florida and Nebraska. Upcoming ballot measures in Ohio and Oklahoma are thus a focus for groups like the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), which sees these initiatives as critical battlegrounds. Meanwhile, Virginia Democrats are attempting to raise the state's minimum wage to $15 by 2026, facing potential gubernatorial opposition.Minimum Wage Hikes Primed for Ballot, Statehouse Battles in 2024On December 26, Apple Inc. appealed a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) decision to ban imports of its Apple Watches that infringe on patents held by medical monitoring technology company Masimo. The ban, which took effect the same day, specifically targets Apple Watches using a pulse oximeter feature for reading blood-oxygen levels, a technology incorporated since the Series 6 model in 2020. The U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, after careful consultation, chose not to reverse the ban.Apple, disagreeing with the ITC's decision, stated it is taking measures to resume sales of its Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the U.S. The company has already paused sales of these models in the U.S., but they remain available through other retailers. The ban does not affect the Apple Watch SE model or previously sold watches.Masimo has accused Apple of stealing its pulse oximetry technology and incorporating it into the Apple Watch. A previous jury trial on Masimo's allegations ended in a mistrial, and Apple has countersued Masimo for patent infringement in a separate case.This ban comes amid a broader context where the Biden administration has not vetoed ITC rulings, continuing a trend since the Obama administration. The ban is significant given that Apple's wearables, including the Apple Watch, are a substantial revenue generator for the company.Apple Watch import ban takes effect after Biden administration passes on veto | ReutersTwitter, now known as X Corp, was found to have breached contracts by not paying millions of dollars in promised bonuses to its employees, as ruled by a U.S. federal judge. Mark Schobinger, the former senior director of compensation at Twitter, filed a lawsuit against the company in June, alleging breach of contract. He claimed that Twitter, both before and after its acquisition by Elon Musk, had committed to paying employees 50% of their 2022 target bonuses, which were never disbursed.U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria denied Twitter's motion to dismiss the case, stating that Schobinger's claim plausibly constituted a breach of contract under California law. The judge affirmed that a binding contract was formed when Twitter offered the bonus in exchange for Schobinger's work. Twitter's argument, asserting that only an oral promise was made and that Texas law should apply, was rejected by the judge, who ruled that California law was applicable and dismissed Twitter's counterarguments.Since Musk's takeover, X Corp has faced numerous lawsuits from former employees and executives. These lawsuits include allegations of discrimination against various groups, including older employees, women, and workers with disabilities, as well as accusations of failing to provide advance notice for mass layoffs. The company has denied any wrongdoing in these cases. The ruling on the breach of contract regarding unpaid bonuses adds to the legal challenges faced by the company under its new management.Twitter violated contract by failing to pay millions in bonuses, US judge rules | ReutersIn my column this week, I discuss the proposed bills in the New York State Assembly and Senate aimed at repealing property tax exemptions for private universities. These bills primarily target large institutions such as New York University and Columbia University, which benefit significantly from these exemptions. However, I argue that without broader reforms, such repercussions would only lead to increased tuition fees, burdening students.I propose a progressive solution: linking university endowment taxes to tuition rates. This approach would compel universities to absorb the costs of property tax reforms while restraining tuition hikes. I emphasize the economic principle of incidence, highlighting how universities, like landlords, pass costs onto students, similar to tenants facing rent increases. This phenomenon has implications beyond fiscal aspects, potentially reshaping the socioeconomic landscape of campuses and threatening diversity.Considering the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, universities are seeking alternative ways to maintain diversity. Increased tuition could disproportionately affect lower-income students, impacting the demographic composition of these institutions. In response, I suggest a two-pronged policy reform. Firstly, introducing a state-level tax on university endowments, akin to the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which taxes certain large endowments. Secondly, implementing a simple endowment tax that rises with tuition increases.This approach would pressure universities to find alternative funding sources instead of raising tuition. It aims to make a dollar taken from students less valuable than one sourced elsewhere. Additionally, universities should be prevented from cutting scholarships and grants as a means to counterbalance property tax expenses.Proper implementation of these reforms would require careful consideration of tuition thresholds and tax rates to discourage universities from raising tuition. The revenue generated should ideally support public university systems without disadvantaging private university students. This balanced approach seeks to ensure that tax policies do not adversely affect students' educational opportunities and financial burdens.New York College Tax Exemption Bills Need Progressive Solution Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

This week we're shifting our attention to Portchester Castle in Hampshire on England's south coast. Situated at the northern end of Portsmouth Harbour, this site has a history stretching back as far as the Romans. The later castle was also a place for thousands of international prisoners during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, including 2,000 black soldiers. Joining us to talk about how the prisoners came to be here, what prison life was like for them and how their stories are being brought to life today are English Heritage's head of learning and interpretation, Dr Dominique Bouchard, education visits officer, Laura Bosworth, and associate director at Soho Theatre, Lakesha Arie-Angelo. To learn more about Portchester Castle or plan a visit, go to www.english-heritage.org.uk/portchestercastle.

"'The God of War' is near to revealing himself, because we have heard his prophet." So wrote Jean Colin, naming Napoleon the God of War and Jacques-Antoine-Hippolyte, comte de Guibert, as his prophet. Guibert was the foremost philosopher of the Military Enlightenment, dedicating his career to systematizing warfare in a single document. The result was his magnum opus, The General Essay on Tactics, which helped to lay the foundation for the success of French armies during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. In Jonathan Abel's Guibert's General Essay on Tactics (Brill, 2021), it is presented in English for the first time since the 1780s, with extensive annotation and contextualization.

Everett Rummage is the host of 'The Age Of Napoleon', a brilliant single-voice podcast which tells the story of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars in great detail and with great charm. He's been kind enough to come on the Napoleonic Quarterly to talk us through the story of Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt and what followed, appearing in episodes 27, 28 and 29. And in this interview episode he's talked through some of the background to his project - how he became interested in the period, how he plans each episode, and his approach to the big and the small editorial quandaries which crop up throughout. This interview was recorded in May 2022.

Rachel Blackman-Rogers discusses Britain's naval and maritime strategy throughout the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars with Professor Andrew Lambert of King's College London's Department of War Studies.

Dominic is joined by the fantastic historian Adam Zamoyski who shares his insight into the origins of both Revolutionary thought and action in the last quarter of the 18th Century: what Dickens famously calls 'The Period' in his A Tale of Two Cities ...Adam's celebrated titles on the Age of Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars include: Holy Madness, 1812. Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow, Rites of Peace and Napoleon: The Man Behind The Myth ... This episode also contains both French Revolutionary and British Reactionary quotes and slogans read by the brilliant actress Léna Robin. Support the show

La Marseillaise was composed by a French army officer and was originally called the ‘War Song for the Army of the Rhine' with the aim of rallying soldiers fighting in Strasbourg during the French Revolutionary ...

The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars profoundly affected all of Europe and became watersheds in the history of strategy. Until then, French thinking on war had dominated European discourse for a good two centuries, even though the word ‘strategy' had not yet been imported into European languages from the Greek. Crucial among the French thinkers of this period was Comte de Guibert (1743–1790), who has been called the prophet of the wars of the French Revolution, foreseeing the transformation of war into the people's cause, rather than merely that of their monarchs. In a republican spirit, Guibert dedicated his first work, the General Essay on Tactics, ‘to my fatherland' – reason enough to publish it anonymously, even though he noted that the king was part of his fatherland! Guibert – like Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz – changed some of his fundamental views during his lifetime. In his youth, Guibert wrote what would become a bestseller throughout the Western world, in which he made the case for an army of citizen-soldiers who would be unbeatable. However, after fighting in the French conquest of Corsica and then serving in the French War Ministry, he decided that overseas campaigns required a professional army. The arguments he put forward still stand up to scrutiny today. To discuss Guibert and his works, we are joined by Dr Jonathan Abel, Assistant Professor of Military History, US Army Command and General Staff College, the author of Guibert: Father of Napoleon's Grande Armée (2016) and translator of Guibert's General Essay on Tactics (2021).

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality As we choo-choo through the Tunnel of Love in the Heat of the Night, we try to enjoy a little hot Summer Sex and maintain a healthy, pro-sex attitude in our increasingly anti-sex, war-loving, gun-slinging, Christofascist and misogynistic culture.  Attempting to handle the mounting madness without inhaling recreational carcinogens, Capt'n Max ingests edibles and “bubbly” that cause the Love Train to turn into something more akin to the Yellow Submarine—at least for him. Me, I'm just riding along, humming a little French Revolutionary song. Ah oui, oui, oui… mes freres et mes soeurs… mes coquettes et mes baguettes…  le Marquis de Sade  et le Moulin Rouge…  Bonne Fête Nationale du Joyeux Quatorze Juillet pour Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!  Ou comme nous disons dans l'anglais… “Happy Bastille Day!” Vive la France! Sainte bonne heure! It's also Danièle Watts and Chef Be*Live's 6th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary DaLove & Belive! We compare the storming of the Bastille with the Sri Lanka people's revolt, America's scary clown Coup Anon and those folks outside Morton's steakhouse peacefully protesting Supreme Injustice Brett Kavanaugh killing their abortion rights, causing him to miss dessert (Poor Baby! What was it Marie Antoinette was said to have quipped? “Let ‘em eat cake!”).  Forced Breeding is a lot worse than being forced to forgo your crème brulee. Abort the Court!  Our Bonobo Summer of Love must be a Summer of Protest… and kink, the Bonobo Way. With kinky and dazzling Goddess Phoenix lighting up our message boards, we talk about why we need to Make Kink NOT War. Chris calls in from Alabama to report on how taking my excellent advice a couple years ago led to an excellent threesome… but now he wants to start a new Bonoboville in Alabama! Will he? Tune in for more.. Then there's Delta DOWN. Hundreds of planes down. Joining the #MileHighClub appears to be another casualty of the #Capitalocene… Speaking of Climate Change, why don't more working people seem to care? One reason is that capitalism forces us to be intensely competitive, cutting off our natural compassion for our fellow humans suffering from climate catastrophes now as well as in the future. This is one reason why students should serve on school boards (and some are running to serve!)—because climate change directly affects their future, and they care.  Certainly, a lot of us care passionately about the ongoing Judicial Coup, the Supreme clitorectomy that sliced off our power (and our pleasure), and we read some of the impassioned responses we received to “Forced Breeding” on F.D.R. and in Counterpunch. Lots more of the good, the bad, the awful and the eargasmic on F.D.R… Listen up!  Read more prose and watch more shows uncensored and free on DrSuzy-Tv: https://drsusanblock.com/fdr-summer-sex-politics Need to Talk PRIVATELY?

The wars between 1792 and 1815 saw the making of the modern world, with Britain and Russia the key powers to emerge triumphant from a long period of bitter conflict. In his innovative book, The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars: Strategies for a World War (Rowman and Littlefield, 2022), master historian, Jeremy Black focuses on the strategic contexts and strategies involved, explaining their significance both at the time and subsequently. Reinterpreting French Revolutionary and Napoleonic warfare, strategy, and their consequences, he argues that Napoleon's failure owed much to his limitations as a strategist. Black uses this framework as a foundation to assess the nature of warfare, the character of strategy, and the eventual ascendance of Britain and Russia in this period. Rethinking the character of strategy, this is the first history to look holistically at the strategies of all the leading belligerents from a global perspective. It will be an essential read for military professionals, students, and history buffs alike. Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written for Chatham House's International Affairs, the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History and the University of Rouen's online periodical Cercles.

Saskia Maarleveld narrates Charlotte McConaghy's novel, a paean to the majesty of wolves. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss Saskia's skills with enlivening the characters, Scottish and Australian both, who inhabit this emotionally heavy and intriguing tale. Head biologist Inti Flynn is an Australian scientist with touch synesthesia, a sensory disorder that causes her to feel any pain she witnesses. Maarleveld captures both her accent and the tension that lurks in her psyche. Inti is working to reintroduce 14 wolves into the wilds of Scotland to restore the remote forest environments, but the locals are not exactly pleased, and there is a suspicious death in the woods.

A classic work of military strategy, On War sets forth the theories and tactics of Carl von Clausewitz, a distinguished Prussian general who was notable for his roles in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The book covers a broad range of topics, including weapons, terrain, troops, and leadership, as well as the importance of defense over offence, the balance of power, and the subordination of war to politics. Praised for its timeless insights, Clausewitz's treatise is often compared to the work of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu, and remains relevant to military leaders today. Narrated by: David Timson.

Power is a crucial, if essentially contested, concept. Its nature and exercise in democratic politics are not always easily grasped. Understanding who holds power, how it is used, and the relationship between those who govern and those who are governed, is critical in any political system. Professor Steven Lukes (formerly NYU) helps us figure out how to map power in politics and explains when and how it is visible. Democracy in Question? is brought to you by:• The Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna: IWM• The Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy in Geneva: AHCD• The Excellence Chair and Soft Authoritarianism Research Group in Bremen: WOC• The Podcast Company: Earshot StrategiesFollow us on social media!• Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna: @IWM_Vienna• Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy in Geneva: @AHDCentreSubscribe to the show.

Extracts of Gramsci's prison writings were published for the first time in the mid-20th century. Many of his propositions became a fundamental part of Western Marxist thought and influenced the post-World War II strategies of communist parties in the West. Source.Michel Foucault (1926—1984) was a French philosopher and historian, and one of the most influential and controversial scholars of the post-World War II period. Foucault continually sought for a way of understanding the ideas that shape our present not only in terms of the historical function these ideas played, but also by tracing the changes in their function through history. Foucault describes three types of power in his empirical analyses: sovereign power, disciplinary power, and biopower.

Professor Emeritus Charles Esdaile of the University of Liverpool discusses his never-ending crusade against the many myths and misperceptions which predominate about the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic period. This interview was the first recorded for this podcast in the spring of 2020. An alternative title might therefore have been 'CHARLES ESDAILE on the Napoleonic Quarterly', as much of what is discussed is framed around the challenge faced by this podcast in its attempt to present a synthesis of these 24 astonishing years.

Dr Sam Willis discusses the infamous Hermione mutiny of 1797 with the naval historian Angus Konstam. In 1797 the British frigate HMS Hermione was serving on the Jamaica Station during the French Revolutionary war. Under the sadistic and mercurial Captain Hugh Pigot the ship became a floating hell as he flogged his men and ruled his ship through terror. When the men finally mutinied it became the bloodiest in the history of the Royal Navy. Pigot and his officers were hacked to death. The mutineers then took the ship to the Spanish main - and handed the ship over to the Spanish. The ship was then recaptured in 1799 in one of the most daring and brilliantly executed operations of the Age of Sail and the Admiralty launched a relentless and worldwide manhunt for the mutineers that lasted a decade.

In her new book, Economistes and the Reinvention of Empire: France in the Americas and Africa, c. 1750-1802 (Cambridge UP, 2020), Dr. Pernille Røge charts the confluence and reciprocal impacts of ideas and policies espoused by political economists, colonial administrators, planters, and entrepreneurs to reform the French empire in the second half of the eighteenth century. Due to this diffusion of observations and ideas, French economic philosophers who called themselves “economistes” and later “physiocrats” were able to formulate and advocated for new French colonial doctrines that emphasized agricultural development, free labor, commercial liberalization, and colonial economic and legal integration during and after the Seven Years War (1756-1763). While meeting initial resistance, such reform efforts inspired many imperial agendas enacted by French Revolutionary leaders as well as those by subsequent French imperialists. Deeply researched from records from three continents, Economistes and the Reinvention of Empire offers an enlightening perspective on critical French Atlantic political-economic development and imperial reformulation, with intellectual, economic, and political relevance that last till this day. Dr. Pernille Røge is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh and the convener of Pitt's Early Modern Worlds Initiative. Grant Kleiser is a Ph.D. candidate in the Columbia University History Department. His dissertation researches the development of the free-port system in the eighteenth-century Caribbean, investigating the rationale for such moves towards “free trade” and the impact these policies had on subsequent philosophers, policy-makers, and revolutionaries in the Atlantic word.   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Life Matters, Our host Brian Johnston explores the deeply disturbing video of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. The worldwide distribution of the clear killing has created national and cultural turmoil that echoes throughout the known world. Johnston shares his outrage at this apparently unjustified use of force and the killing of a man that has not had a trial. It is a public declaration that we, all of us, recognize that George Floyd had a right to be alive. We witnessed the violation of his right to life.  Officer Derek Chauvin was the perpetrator and his apparent disregard for the safety of George Floyd during his apprehension appalled all viewers. Brian pointed out the familiarity of Chauvin’s last name and the fact that the term ‘chauvinism’ is a common phrase referring to the attitudes and values of a certain Nicolas Chauvin of the early 19th Century. These values of Statist authority were again displayed by Derek Chauvin. But it is essential to realize the crime was against an individual... both Chauvin and the incited mob apparently view it instead as a 'crime against a group.'  And the reason our culture is doing that is because we have forgotten, if we ever understood, that it is individuals who must be protected, and an individual's actions must be held to account, in a just society.  Pitting groups against groups leads to greater conflict and is, in itself, a violation of higher law. The original Nicholas Chauvin, after whom 'chauvinism' is named, was an officer in Napoleon Bonaparte’s army. Napoleon, a revolutionary statist, superimposed the will of the state as the final arbiter of right and wrong.  In the world of French Revolutionary thought, your Creator is of no consequence.  Napoleon was a dictator whose inspiration was drawn from the French Revolution.  The value of individual lives is always minimized in a progressive world order, and certain groups must be punished while other groups are elevated to power.  Each human life itself is seen as a mere cog in history.   Both Derek Chauvin of the 21st Century, and Nicolas Chauvin of the 19th Century saw themselves and their fulfillment, as agents of the state. Their fulfillment was in embodying the power and decisiveness of state authority. That is the opposite of the principles of the American Republic. The American principles of government are built upon the intrinsic value and worth of each individual. Created Equal: The Clarence Thomas Story In His Own Words. Clarence Thomas is one of the few United States Supreme Court justices who has ardently advocated the essential principle of natural law. As such, he has been clear that the value in our rights do not emanate from the group of which we may be a member, but our rights emanate from the fact that our individual lives have been given to us as a gift from our maker. Justice Thomas while a college student had himself been leeward into the groupthink cultural hatred that is fostered by the progressive worldview. Justice Thomas had been a black radical. It was only on returning from a riot that Clarence Thomas felt overwhelmed by the uncontrolled hatred in his heart and knew he could not free himself from that emotional cancer. In the film, he is quite clear that his prayer asking God to free him of hatred became the first step in his walk of faith. Finally, Commissioner Johnston turns to what has become a pervasive starting principle in all of America’s public schools, which now views human beings as merely animals, and teaches the same. This view rooted in the Darwinian concept of evolution, minimizes the uniqueness of mankind’s creation, unique gift of life, and responsibility under a higher law. In the evolutionary worldview whoever or whatever is most evolutionarily advanced becomes the ultimate authority. This denial of higher law and greater truths has robbed the American educational system  The result is students who are incapable of recognizing higher laws. Perhaps most telling is Charles Darwin subtitle, clearly stating that his principles invoke a racial superiority system (On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life).  It is progressives who separate human beings into racial groups and declare their proper hierarchy in society. Natural law, on the contrary, deems each and every human life as worthy of protection and accountability. That is the basis of the right to life.

In this talk, Julia Nicholls (King's College, London) discusses the development of the French revolutionary tradition in the years following the Paris Commune of 1871. She argues that revolutionaries in this period had a more complex relationship to France's revolutionary past than is commonly assumed. The talk is followed by a short comment by Emile Chabal.

If one was to ask about the contribution of the British army during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, some of the immediate responses would concern the Duke of Wellington, the Peninsular War and the Battle of Waterloo. These subjects have acquired great fame over the past two decades, thanks in part to Bernard Cornwall's popular Sharpe novels, and to the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo in 2015. However, the battles fought at Waterloo and in the Spanish Peninsula were only a fraction of those fought by the British army during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. One British campaign that has largely been forgotten was fought in Egypt in 1801. Although the numbers of men who fought in Egypt were far smaller than in later campaigns in Spain, Portugal and Belgium, Egypt nevertheless proved a turning point in the fortunes of the British army. The significance of the Egyptian campaign can still be felt to this day.  This episode was written by Simon Quinn Simon is a postdoctoral research fellow in history at the University of York. He has recently completed a PhD studying the lives of British soldiers on campaign in Egypt in 1801.

The Myth of the Press Gang: Volunteers, Impressment and the Naval Manpower Problem in the Late Eighteenth CenturyBy J. Ross DancyFrom the publisher: The press gang is generally regarded as the means by which the British navy solved the problem of recruiting enough seamen in the late eighteenth century. This book, however, based on extensive original research conducted primarily in a large number of ships' muster books, demonstrates that this view is false. It argues that, in fact, the overwhelming majority of seamen in the navy were there of their own free will. Taking a long view across the late eighteenth century but concentrating on the period of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars of 1793-1815, the book provides great detail on the sort of men that were recruited and the means by which they were recruited, and includes a number of individuals' stories. It shows how manpower was a major concern for the Admiralty; how the Admiralty put in place a range of recruitment methods including the quota system; how it worried about depleting merchant shipping of sufficient sailors; and how, although most seamen were volunteers, the press gang was resorted to, especially during the initial mobilisation at the beginning of wars and to find certain kinds of particularly skilled seamen.http://www.boydellandbrewer.com/store/viewItem.asp?idProduct=14694

In this free first hour interview of Esoteric Hollywood, Isaac Weishaupt of Iluminatiwatcher.com joins myself and Jamie Hanshaw to discuss the recent mega-ritual social engineering events known as the Superbowl and the Grammy’s. Delving into the esoteric side, we begin analyzing the alchemical and occultic notions of inversion and its relation to the multi-cultural program of monoculture dissolution. Highlighting the promotion of globalism and French Revolutionary illuminism in Coldplay, we look at Beyoncé’s “Church of Bey,” the agitprop of #blacklivesmatter, Crowleyan “moon” aspects of Audi’s bizarre commercials, NASA and alien Psyops, and the history of CIA usage of counter-culture in Dave McGowan’s works. Moving to the Grammy’s, we investigate the similar themes that link both, considering the Eagles, Taylor Swift as a “spy,” and Lady Gaga as David Bowie, particularly in reference to his “Blackstar” video.To hear the full interview, subscribe for 4.95 a month at JaysAnalysis.com at the PayPal link for full lectures and interviews.

Brumaire. Germinal. Thermidor. There is nothing more evocative of the French Revolutionary imaginary than the names of the months of the republican calendar that became official in 1793 (the calendar was back-dated to 1792, or Year I). In The Calendar in Revolutionary France: Perceptions of Time in Literature, Culture, Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2012), Sanja Perovic explores the history and meanings of the republican calendar as a representation of the complexities of revolutionaries' understandings of past, present, and future. As she examines the tensions between linear and cyclical visions of time during this pivotal period in French and world history, Perovic considers the calendar as both an object and an ideological project. The book is a history of the calendar itself and also a literary, intellectual, and political biography of Sylvain Maréchal, a revolutionary who played a pivotal role in the development of the new temporal order. Anyone who has ever wanted to know more about the massive cultural and political shifts of the French Revolution will be interested in reading this book. Perovic's narrative and arguments speak to a wide range of scholarship on republican values and culture, as well as to the broader periodization and historiography of the French Revolution. At the same time, the book reaches further, reading the republican calendar as exemplary of the bigger picture of modern temporality, offering the reader much to think about in terms of the time structures and habits we use to understand our daily lives and our places in history.

The book is a history of the calendar itself and also a literary, intellectual, and political biography of Sylvain Maréchal, a revolutionary who played a pivotal role in the development of the new temporal order. Anyone who has ever wanted to know more about the massive cultural and political shifts of the French Revolution will be interested in reading this book. Perovic’s narrative and arguments speak to a wide range of scholarship on republican values and culture, as well as to the broader periodization and historiography of the French Revolution. At the same time, the book reaches further, reading the republican calendar as exemplary of the bigger picture of modern temporality, offering the reader much to think about in terms of the time structures and habits we use to understand our daily lives and our places in history.
