THE FRENCH REVOLUTION ON THE HORIZON OF THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT A question of social visibility

This article examines the importance of the historical paradigm of recognition in the advent of democracy, by describing its implicit forms of visibility. It reports on a general trend based on the model of a spokesperson embodied both in the institutive figure of the legislator-philosopher (Siey?s) and in the civil figure of the patriot missionary. The author thus extends ethical reflection on human emancipation to the problem of visibility of the social movement, regarding both self-esteem and policies of justice. Constantly endeavouring to link the historical movement to current trends, the article concludes with the current research interest of the co-construction of social visibility.
