La Russie, le temps et l’espace
Abstracts
Russia, Time and Space. Transformations of the socio-cosmism and Construction of an Hybrid Modernity. – The evolution in the social understanding of the categories of time and space in Czarist Russia (16th-18th centuries) places the momentum of the Russian “theologico-political matrix” in a comparative perspective. A universal “socio-cosmic sovereignty” was continued by changing the level incarnating it. Formerly attributed to the Czar as a “terrestrial god”, eschatological messianism inhered, in the early 18th century, in a “theophoric people” living on “holy Russian soil”, thus creating the conditions for an original and problematical political modernity.
