ABSTRACT

This study has two goals. One would like to examine the achievements of Sternhell’s history, who died last year in 2020, focusing on French nationalism and fascism. Examining the core debates over Sternhell’s questions and issues in the historical academia will in itself be a work to reflect on the historiography of French fascism. Another is to look at international debates and issues about the origins of French fascism that have persisted for a long time. These two are related to each other. The study of Sternhell’s history and the method of historiography is the work of reviewing and organizing the research history of French nationalism and fascism. This study focuses on the late 19th to early 20th centuries, which is noted as the origin of the French fascist ideology. This period is important because it is the starting point of the “Sternhell’ Thesis” controversy, which argues that the intellectual soil where the roots of the French fascist ideology grow naturally were being cultivated. In the end, this study can be said to be an attempt to establish the position of Sternhell in the historiography of French nationalism and fascism.
