Overview
En cette époque « globale », les historiens de la Révolution française s’intéressent de plus en plus au concept d’époque révolutionnaire transnationale qui dépasse les frontières nationales et les limites régionales. Trop d’études, cependant, traitent des révolutions les unes à la suite des autres ou alors comme une révolution unique et cohérente à l’échelle internationale. Cet article tente de montrer qu’il est possible d’écrire une histoire transnationale de l’âge des Révolutions tout en continuant à insister sur le fait que des révolutions multiples ont éclaté dans des lieux divers et se sont développées, du moins en partie, suite à des événements locaux et contingents. À travers l’histoire de Guillaume Tell, il est possible de relier les approches transnationale et locale. Comme cette histoire est bien connue partout dans le monde à l’époque révolutionnaire, elle est utilisée dans des contextes révolutionnaires très différents. De plus, comme elle est très flexible, puisqu’il y en a plusieurs versions, les acteurs politiques, les artistes, les dramaturges et bien d’autres peuvent la manipuler et adapter leur interprétation aux coutumes, aux circonstances et aux besoins locaux. Des versions radicales et d’autres plus modérées apparaissent donc pendant tout l’âge des Révolutions. L’histoire de Guillaume Tell permet une approche transnationale, culturelle qui respecte la réalité des contingences locales. Une approche unique et cohérente est possible même si les révolutions sont diverses. Une approche culturelle permet à l’historien d’adopter un cadre transnational pour l’âge des révolutions tout en tenant compte des différences contingentes entre les diverses révolutions.
In this current « global age », historians of the French Revolution have increasingly turned their attention to the concept of a transnational Age of Revolutions that stretched across national and regional lines. However, too many of these studies focus on one revolution after another or imply a single coherent revolution that existed only on a transnational level. This article argues that it is possible to write a transnational history of the Age of Revolutions while continuing to focus on the fact that multiple revolutions happened all in their separate localities and developing, at least in part, based on local, contingent events.
This article uses the prism of the William Tell story to bridge the divide between transnational and local approaches. Since the William Tell story was well known across the Revolutionary world throughout the long revolutionary period, the story was accessible to participants in a wide variety of revolutionary situations. Furthermore, the William Tell story was extremely flexible in that there was not one single version of the story, allowing political actors, artists, playwrights and others, to manipulate the story and its interpretations in order to fit in with local customs, developments, and needs. Thus popular and moderate strains of the Tell story were used throughout the Age of Revolutions. The Tell story allows a transnational, cultural approach that respects the reality of local contingencies. A cultural approach allows the historian to recognize simultaneously a transnational framework for the Age of Revolutions while allowing for an understanding of contingent differences among the different revolutions.
