My talk to the Warwick Seminar for Interdisciplinary French Studies was recorded and is available online – “Indo-European Thought in Post-War France“

I begin with two stories – one about the Mission Paul Pelliot and its importance to the early work of Émile Benveniste; and the other about the inquiry into racism and holocaust denial at Lyon III, and the links between Jean Haudry, Alain de Benoist and Georges Dumézil. I use these two stories to frame the project, though most of the talk is on Benveniste, Dumézil and Mircea Eliade in the war and the decade or so after.

There is a lot more information about the project here – the overall scope, updates on the research, publications, and a few textual analyses.
