Résumé
Wars act as trying periods for a wide range of actors. The multifaceted effects ofviolent conflict on academic production in the social sciences have received littlecritical self-reflexive scrutiny. The object of this paper is to highlight the variedrecompositions in academia in wartime by focusing on France and the war in Gazathat followed the October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel. While presenting the fields ofPalestinian and Israeli studies in French universities as largely separate due todistinct institutional subcultures, the paper then highlights how recent developmentsare breaching the norms that structure the ordered production of knowledge.Interestingly, these violations are occurring less because of an extreme polarizationwithin the field of academia, than because of the attitude of external actors, inparticular French public institutions that are using both populist discoursesdenouncing woke ideologies in universities and anti-terrorism laws to put pressure onacademics.
