Un 2 décembre de Bas-Bretons
Abstracts
In many ways we can assert that the notion of time in politics handly appears in historical studies. As if it was a stable notion in its very essence, equivalent for everybody. However, time is above all a construction, a representation, an experience of the people of a particular period. What was the 2nd December 1851 like for the people of Finistère ? A real time break, a “non-event” in a department that didn’t rebel against the coup, an ambiguous date, quickly challenged by the plebiscite that followed a date which signified the end of the Republic ? The confrontation between two logics of time : the official’s one who rapidly wished to recognise ecember 2nd as a “blessing” of the present ; many local representatives’one who prefered to choose December 20th and 21st and, by doing this, asserted the importance of an electoral rythm that outdo the event.
