"Antiphysiocracy"
Critiques and opposition to the physiocratic movement, from the end of
the 1750s to the mid-19th Century
International Conference
Lyon (France) - 12-13 April 2013
Organised by:
TRIANGLE, UMR CNRS 5206, ENS-LSH, IEP de Lyon, Université Lyon 2
IDHE, UMR CNRS 8533, Université Paris 8
LED, EA 3391, Université Paris 8
Call for papers (Deadline: September 30, 2012)
Although the theories of Quesnay, his disciples and the 'dissident'
physiocrats have been the focus of many studies, and while the
diffusion on an international scale of physiocratic ideas and their
successors during the French Revolution and in the first decades of
the 19th Century have given rise to conferences and publications, the
same cannot be said for the opposition to physiocracy.
The theme of this conference is a subject that has remained untouched
for some time, and is now becoming a topic of interest again. In fact,
a seminar is scheduled to take place in Norway in September 2012, on
physiocracy and the opposition that it encountered in Europe until the
end of the 18th Century. Continuing and complementing this first
event, the international conference in Lyon aims to cover the widest
possible range of aspects of antiphysiocracy and opposition to
physiocratic principles and practices. We intend to take a long-term
perspective, from the foundation of the school to the critiques made
of the physiocrats by economists, theoreticians and pamphleteers in
the first half of the 19th Century. We also wish to be as
comprehensive as possible, not restricting ourselves to economics and
history in themselves, but instead by opening the field of study to
all antiphysiocratic ideas, trends and reactions, no matter what form
they take. As a rough guide, we could mention:
- The work of theoreticians who were opposed to Quesnay's school of
thought from an analytic point of view: Forbonnais, Galiani, Graslin
or Montaudouin de la Touche, of course, but also Accarias de Sérionne,
Béardé de l'Abbaye, Costé de Saint-Supplix, Pesselier, Pfeiffer, or
Tiffaut de la Noüe for instance,
- The work of the classical Republicans and the 'political' opponents
of physiocracy (Mably, Rousseau, Linguet, Necker...),
- The criticisms that have surfaced in literature, poetry, stories and
theatre (Voltaire, L.-S. Mercier...),
- The itineraries of figures that started out very close to
physiocracy and ended up very critical of it, such as Diderot,
- Reactions of the cours souveraines and the enlightened elite, but
also the reactions of the people to the physiocrats' political stance,
and even to their ideas (songs, ballads, satires...)
- Critiques of physiocracy and its post-revolutionary successors by
19th Century theoreticians (particularly the first socialists and
French 'liberal' economists)
- Worldwide critiques of physiocratic experiments and theory
This conference aims, then, to encompass much more than merely
historians and historians of economic thought, and invites researchers
interested in political, literary and cultural history from the 1750s
to mid-19th century to submit proposals on this unifying theme of
opposition to physiocracy, in all its dimensions.
Participants are invited to submit proposals of no more than 800
words, in French or English (participants may choose to speak in
either language) before the 30th September 2012, to the following
address:
