Left (s). Brief essay on the history of the elaboration of a political modern language notion

The purpose of this essay is to sketch a genealogy of the term left, within the framework of right/left polarization in contemporary public debate. The word left, like that of the right, was at its beginning and during part of the 19th century only a term of parliamentary political language: both distinguished positions in the restricted space of the legislative assembly. The term emergence refers to France and a history that does not go beyond the revolution of 1789. The work highlights the inflections of meaning that the term was assuming in French political life along an itinerary that reaches until the 20th century. In that journey it would acquire the meanings with which it is known today. The essay is based on the research of the last decades on the left / right schema and on the lexicon readings of the XIX.

Palabras clave : Republicanism; Social question; Workers; Socialism.
