Henri Hubert, racial science and political myth

Abstract: Henri Hubert developed early Durkheimian critiques of racial sciences such as an throposociology from his perspective as an archeologist, historian, and ethnographer of primitive European religions. His major works on the “primitive” Celts and Germans continue these critiques of racism. But Hubert also engaged in the political mythologizing of French national identity by trading in the republican myth of “celtisme.”

“…While doing so and applying an approach, which would today fall under the heading of ‘constructivist’, he raised the more general question of the role of religion in the process of nation-building (Ossowski, 2008: 89). Importantly, his research interest in Ireland was inspired by the history of his native realm in the nineteenth century: the experience of a stateless nation, whose elites conceived Catholicism as both the main tenet of Poland’s imagined past and an ally in their statehood aspirations (Markiewicz-Lagneau, 1982: 192, Strenski, 1987: 361–362). The outcome of this double Irish and Polish interests situates Czarnowski among the first Durkheimians who understood the correlation between nation-building, religion and the uses of the past for political purposes.…”

“…Son goût nous apparaît délibérément prudent et plutôt conventionnel, quoique éduqué. Ainsi, en 1923, alors qu'il commente un ouvrage qui souligne les similarités existant entre l'art préhistorique et les créations radicales de l'art contemporain du début du xx e siècle, Hubert ne contredit pas, fondamentalement, la thèse de l'auteur, mais on voit qu'il n'a pas grand-chose d'autre à dire sur le sujet 43 .…”

Comme je dois administrer aussi une toute petite fortune américaine, je vois les choses également d'un autre point de vue, qui n'est, je t'assure, pas celui de nos ministres des finances et de nos banquiers 43 .…”
