Le totalitarisme - origines d'un concept, genese d'un debat 1930-1942
Résumé
--
Totalitarianism dominated and weighed down a substantial part of the 20th century. When we describe a power as 'totalitarian', the word evokes a concept (an ideal of the aforementioned power) and a theory (a regime opposed to democracy). Used in a polemical fashion at the time of the Cold War, it constituted a major political issue and its use today still shocks those who reject any parallel between Nazi Germany and Stalinist USSR, between a racist ideology and a Universalist utopia, even a corrupt one. This anthology assembles over fifty texts, many unpublished or fallen into obscurity. They bring to light the historicity of a concept which, in reality, owes little to Cold War confrontations. It was in the 1930s - when Communism in the USSR, Fascism in Italy, then Nazism in Germany were in full expansion - that the first comparatist viewpoints appeared. Long before Hannah Arendt's canonical analyses, philosophers, jurists, historians and economists, both European and American, defined the ideological mechanisms and power structures that cause the three regimes to converge. A truism in pre-War political thinking, totalitarianism then lay at the heart of a renewed questioning of democracy its new philosophical bases and to what degree it might be protected by law. And for those who detect a new category of dictatorship, fundamentally different from the traditional forms, the combat against totalitarianism extends far beyond anti-fascism.
