    Daniel Knegt is sinds februari 2014 als docent nieuwste geschiedenis verbonden aan de afdeling geschiedenis van de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij promoveerde aan de European University Institute in Florence (Italië) op een onderzoek naar fascisme, Europees denken en neoliberalisme bij Franse intellectuelen, waarvan de boekversie in 2017 verscheen onder de titel Fascism, Liberalism and Europeanism in the Political Thought of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Alfred Fabre-Luce. Zijn aandacht gaat uit naar de geschiedenis van fascisme in transnationale context en de geschiedenis van alternatieve vormen van Europees denken. Ook interesseert hij zich voor de geschiedenis van twintigste-eeuws Frankrijk en de vroege neoliberale beweging.

    Naast deze activiteiten is hij redacteur van Historisch Café , buitenlandcoördinator van de opleiding geschiedenis en lid van de ondernemingsraad van de Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen. In het verleden studeerde hij nieuwste geschiedenis aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam (research master, cum laude), de Université Paul-Valery (Montpellier III) en de Humboldt Universität zu Berlin en was hij redacteur van historisch tijdschrift Skript. Ook schreef hij voor Folia en voor het Amsterdams Stadsblad toen dat nog bestond.

     

  • Profile (Eng)

    I am a modern history lecturer at the history department of the University of Amsterdam. I received my PhD from the European University Institute in Florence (Italy), with a dissertation on fascism, Europeanism and neoliberalism in French intellectual thought. The monograph based on my dissertation was published in 2017 under the title Fascism, Liberalism and Europeanism in the Political Thought of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Alfred Fabre-Luce. My principle research interests include fascism in a transnational context, alternative currents in Europeanist thought, the history of twentieth-century France and the early neoliberal movement.

    Apart of these activities, I am an editor at Historisch Café , foreign exchange coordinator at the history department and a member of the faculty of Humanities works council. In the past, I studied history at the University of Amsterdam (research master, cum laude), the Université Paul-Valery (Montpellier, France) and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. I have also been an editor at the historical review Skript and worked as a journalist for Folia and the Amsterdams Stadsblad.

    Monograph
     

    • Daniel Knegt, Fascism, Liberalism and Europeanism in the Political Thought of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Alfred Fabre-Luce (Amsterdam University Press, 2017).

    Despite the recent rise in studies that approach fascism as a transnational phenomenon, the links between fascism and internationalist intellectual currents have only received scant attention. My book explores the political thought of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Alfred Fabre-Luce, two French intellectuals, journalists and political writers who, from 1930 to the mid-1950s, moved between liberalism, fascism and Europeanism. I argue that their longing for a united Europe was the driving force behind this ideological transformation-and that we can see in their thought the earliest stages of what would become neoliberalism.
