Abstract
Cet article s’intéresse à l’histoire politique et masculine de Saint-Denis dans l’entre-deux-guerres. De par les effets néfastes de la guerre et du travail industriel sur la santé physique de la population masculine de la ville, les débouchés virils proposés par les radicalisations politiques de gauche comme de droite rencontrent un fort succès local du début des années 1920 à la fin des années 1930. À l’aune de cette question masculine et des réponses viriles que les partis politiques tentent de lui apporter, cette étude s’efforce de jeter une lumière nouvelle sur les revirements idéologiques de Saint-Denis dans l’entre-deux-guerres — du communisme au doriotisme.
The present article is focused on the political and masculine history of interwar Saint-Denis — a working-class area in the northern suburb of Paris. Due to the undermining effects of the war and of industrial labour on the physical condition of Saint-Denis male population, the masculine prospect of bodily and moral regeneration, proposed by both left and right-wing radical political movements, met with an intense local success throughout the interwar years. At the crossroads of masculine troubles and man-up politics, this study re-investigates the ideological turnaround experienced by Saint-Denis in the interwar years — from communism to doriotism.
