Thomas Caubet

Doctoral Student at Université Paris-Cité

His Phd thesis focuses on a comparative study of revolutionary processes. Drawing from a pragmatical perspective and using different social sciences methods (archive work, interviews) his research compares the everyday dimension of two sequences, separated in time and space: the 1871 Paris Commune, and the Occupy Oakland (Oakland Commune), in 2011. More generally, taking a transdisciplinary approach, his work examines the persistence and resurgence of certain revolutionary forms inherited from the past, such as the “commune”.
