Eleni Varikas, Equality and the Excluded
In the historiographic controversies that marked the bicentennial of the French Revolution, women's exclusion from citizenship did not imply a re-evaluation of the ideas and political models originated by the Revolution. Yet, the debates on the citizenship of social categories perceived through « their » difference (women, black, slaves, jews) offer a privileged standpoint permitting the tracing of the generality of the problematic relations between the notion of equality and the notion of difference. Those debates help us grasp some of antinomies characterising the social construction of the equality principle and reveal the existence of a dissonant tradition which, already during the Revolution, tried to save the subversive potential which lay in the universalist promise of natural right.
