CONFERENCE ON DANIEL GUERIN (1904-88), LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY, 17-19
SEPTEMBER 2004

[version française ci-dessous]

On the 100th anniversary of his birth, the purpose of this conference is to
celebrate and critically examine the life and work of Daniel Guérin.

Guérin was a unique and outstanding figure on the French Left, both as a
selfless and committed activist and as a writer: he made significant
theoretical contributions in fields as diverse as the interpretation of
fascism (La Peste brune a passé par là, 1932-33; Fascisme et grand capital,
1936), the historiography of the French Revolution (La Lutte de classes sous
la première République, 1946), colonialism (eg. Au service des colonisés,
1954; Les assassins de Ben Barka, 1975), sexuality, (homo)sexual liberation
and socialism (eg. Kinsey et la sexualité, 1955; Shakespeare et Gide en
correctionnelle?, 1959 and articles and pamphlets on Fourier and Proudon),
the critique of Leninism and the synthesis of Marxism and libertarianism
(Jeunesse du socialisme libertaire, 1959; L'Anarchisme, de la doctrine à la
pratique, 1965; Rosa Luxemburg et la spontanéïté révolutionnaire, 1971).
Some of his works have been reprinted repeatedly (eg. Ni Dieu ni Maître,
1970-99); many have been published recently in new editions (Ben Barka, ses
assassins, 1975/1991; La peste brune, 1932-33/1996; Front populaire,
révolution manquée, 1970/1997; Bourgeois et bras nus, La guerre sociale sous
la Révolution 1793-1795, 1973/1998; Fascisme et grand capital, 1936/1999;
Proudhon, un refoulé sexuel, 1969/2000; Tahiti malade de la bombe,
1972/2000). This is testimony to the widespread and enduring interest in the
man and his work, and also to Guérin's extraordinary knack both for being
years ahead of his time in so many domains, and also for tackling subjects
which have kept their contemporary relevance. Guérin was also without doubt
an incisive intellect. The exiled Trotsky treated him as a privileged
interlocutor in the Socialist Party in the 1930s, seeing in him one of the
sharpest minds on the Left in France. For Sartre - with whom he would share
many a platform and sign many an appeal - Guérin's study of the Revolution
was the only work to appear in the post-war years to have made an original
contribution to Marxist historiography.

Despite the evident value of Guérin's work and the leading contribution he
made as an activist, he has suffered a thoroughly undeserved neglect on the
part of researchers. This neglect is all the more surprising when one takes
into account the fact that there is clearly a great deal of interest in
Guérin's life and work outside of academic circles.

It is hoped that this conference will bring together many of those in
Britain, France and elsewhere who knew and/or worked with Guérin, or who
have engaged either with his historical studies or with his more theoretical
political analyses. It is envisaged that there will be sessions on all of
Guérin's main areas of interest, from sexuality to racism and fascism, from
Popular Frontism to anticolonial movements, from historical materialism to
anarchism...

If you would like to offer a paper, please send a provisional title, a short
summary and some brief biographical details to Dave Berry
([log in to unmask] or Department of Politics, International Relations &
European Studies, Loughborough University, LE113TU, GB).

In order to help the organizers estimate possible numbers and plan
accordingly, and in order to be put on the mailing list, it would also be
helpful if anyone interested in attending would e-mail [log in to unmask]

COLLOQUE DANIEL GUERIN (1904-88), UNIVERSITE DE LOUGHBOROUGH (GB), 17-19
SEPTEMBRE 2004

A l'occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, le but de ce colloque est de
célébrer et d'examiner de façon critique la vie et l'ouvre de Daniel Guérin.

Guérin fut un personnage unique et une figure éminente de la gauche
française, à la fois comme militant et comme un écrivain engagé. Sa
contribution théorique a été significative dans des domaines aussi divers
que l'interprétation du fascisme (La Peste brune a passé par là, 1932-33;
Fascisme et grand capital, 1936), l'historiographie de la Révolution
française (La Lutte de classes sous la première République, 1946), le
colonialisme (par ex. Au service des colonisés, 1954; Les assassins de Ben
Barka, 1975), la sexualité (eg. Kinsey et la sexualité, 1955; Shakespeare et
Gide en correctionnelle?, 1959 articles et brochures sur Fourier et
Proudon), la critique du léninisme et la synthese du marxisme et de l'
anarchisme (Jeunesse du socialisme libertaire, 1959; L'Anarchisme, de la
doctrine à la pratique, 1965; Rosa Luxemburg et la spontanéïté
révolutionnaire, 1971). La réimpression de certains de ses travaux (par ex.
Ni Dieu ni Maître, 1970-99) et la parution récente de nouvelles éditions d'
autres (Ben Barka, ses assassins, 1975/1991; La peste brune, 1932-33/1996;
Front populaire, révolution manquée, 1970/1997; Bourgeois et bras nus, La
guerre sociale sous la Révolution 1793-1795, 1973/1998; Fascisme et grand
capital, 1936/1999; Proudhon, un refoulé sexuel, 1969/2000; Tahiti malade de
la bombe, 1972/2000) témoigne d'un intérêt important et durable pour l'homme
et son ouvre, mais aussi pour le don qu'avait Guérin d'être à la fois des
années en avance sur son temps et d'aborder des thèmes qui ont conservé
toute leur pertinence jusqu'à nos jours.



En dépit de l'importance évidente que revêt l'ouvre de Guérin et l'
importance de son engagement en tant que militant, il a souffert de façon
immérité d'un oubli relatif de la part des chercheurs. Cet oubli est d'
autant plus surprenant vu que son ouvre suscite beaucoup d'intêt au-delà des
lieux universitaires.



Nous espérons que ce colloque réunira beaucoup de celles et de ceux qui, en
G.-B., en France et ailleurs ont connu et/ou milité avec Guérin, ou se sont
consacré/e/s à l'étude de ses travaux historiques ou de ses analyses
politiques plus théoriques. Des discussions concernant tous les centres d'
intérêt de Guérin sont envisagées, allant de la sexualité au racisme et au
fascisme, du Front populaire aux mouvements anticoloniaux, du matérialisme
historique à l'anarchisme...



Si vous souhaitez proposer une contribution, veuillez contacter Dave Berry,
en envoyant un titre (provisoire), un résumé et de brefs détails
biographiques ([log in to unmask] or Department of Politics,
International Relations & European Studies, Loughborough University,
LE113TU, GB).



Le travail de préparation du colloque serait aussi grandement facilité si
celles et ceux qui pensent assister au colloque le feraient savoir dès
maintenant aux organisateurs.
