(\emph{The State}.) Self-published, 1949; Paris: Economica, “Classiques des Sciences sociales” series, 1987, 1999. Paris: R \& N, 2020.


Bernard Charbonneau felt the fetish of the State was such a pervasive hindrance to all critical thought and constructive action that, insisting on tackling it himself, he delegated to Ellul the task of writing the book on his own discovery of Technique. As a kind of historical and theoretical counterpart of Orwell’s \emph{1984}, written at the same time, \emph{L’État} still had to wait forty years to find a proper publisher, despite Ellul’s best efforts to promote it when it first came out as one of Charbonneau’s many samizdats, only available on demand from the author.

\section{1963: Teilhard de Chardin, prophète d’un âge totalitaire}

\emph{(Teilhard de Chardin, Prophet of a Totalitarian Age.)} Paris: Denoël, 1963 (reissued 1981).


A rare critical voice amidst the posthumous vogue of the Jesuit paleontologist and his technophile theodicy —making Christ the Omega Point of the emergent collective mind of evolution as Progress, Charbonneau’s deconstruction of this seductively pseudo-Christian and falsely humanistic ideology is a still potent, scathing indictment of the patron saint of today’s Transhumanist movement, that can help expose the latter’s disturbing implications.

\section{1965: Le paradoxe de la culture}

\emph{(Celebration of the Rooster)}. Le Jas: Robert Morel, 1966 (pdf reprint: \href{https://www.fenixx.fr/}{https:\Slash{}\Slash{}www.fenixx.fr}, 2019).


Charbonneau gives a free reign to his mordant wit in this satire of French nationalism, and by extension, of every local variant of this universal blight of sentimentalized State-worship.

\section{1967: L’Hommauto}

(\emph{Automan}.) Paris: Denoël, 1967 (reissued 2003).


Mass-man driven by the car, not the other way around, illustrating how the mirage of individual freedom is built into the total mobilization of society by Technique. Even world wars have not made as many victims as the automobile, nor as fundamentally redefined all aspects of life, as Charbonneau shows in this biting critique of car culture. The changes it wrought in his native Bordeaux, palpable in daily life but which no media would touch as such in his lifetime, first alerted him as a teenager to the insidious dictatorship of Change for its own sake in industrial society.

\noindent Expanding on his ground-breaking 1937 manifesto on “Feeling for Nature as a revolutionary force” (see below under \emph{Nous sommes des révolutionnaires malgré nous}), this is Bernard Charbonneau’s definitive statement of his thesis that Nature is a discovery of the very industrial society that destroys it, usually coopting nostalgia for it to drive its own relentless expansion.

Ironically echoing structural anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss’s \emph{Tristes tropiques} that made concern over the plight of distant tribes fashionable, Charbonneau tries to get the French to pay attention to the tragedy of a disappearing traditional society on their own doorstep: that of the Béarn countryside where he chose to settle.

A critical look back at the early years of the environmental movement and its deep roots in Christian (especially Protestant) culture, with the underlying issues of the relationship of nature and freedom, and of their needful but uneasy joining against the totalizing system of technological society that threatens them both. Using this paradoxical tension as a yardstick, Charbonneau probes the ways in which concepts of Nature have developed as industrialization became second nature and jeopardized the original, taken for granted until its advent. This allows Charbonneau to explain how movements and policies claiming to deal with this issue have gone wrong. English translation by Christian Roy, with a foreword by Daniel Cérézuelle and an introduction by Piers. H. G. Stephens, London: Bloomsbury, 2016,

\emph{(I Was. An Essay on Freedom.)} Self-published, Pau: 1980; Bordeaux: Opales, with a foreword by Daniel Cérézuelle, 2000; Paris: R \& N, 2021.


Man as a being who craves for freedom and yet cannot bear it as it is, i.e., the tension-fraught unity of the spirit and the flesh in a contingent mortal existence. He will thus grasp at every conceivable justification to be relieved of the anxiety this awareness brings, as long as he can convince himself he does it freely, to achieve freedom even. Society usually provides ready-made outlets for this impulse, but individual forms of escapism are not spared either in Bernard Charbonneau’s personal call to each reader to join him in the tragic experience of conscious, embodied freedom, which he considered the testament of his life’s lonely journey against every current of modern society.

This is a collection of four early texts from the time of the close collaboration of Bernard Charbonneau and Jacques Ellul as leaders of a regional branch of the Personalist movement in Southwestern France, to which they gave their unique technocritical stamp, likely making it the world’s first recognizable example of political ecology as a revolutionary movement in its own right beyond Right and Left, as shown in a fine historical introduction. It starts with the only known text overtly co-authored by Charbonneau and Ellul, “Guidelines for a Personalist Manifesto” (1935, already published as \emph{Directives pour un manifeste personnaliste} in \emph{Cahiers Jacques-Ellul} No. 1, “Les années personnalistes”, 2004, pp. 63-79), followed by three dazzlingly prophetic Charbonneau texts: “Progress against Man” (“Le Progrès contre l’Homme”, 1936), “Feeling for Nature as a revolutionary force” (“Le sentiment de la Nature, force révolutionnaire”, 1937) and “The Year 2000” (“An deux mille”, 1945, on the implications of the A-bomb), the latter available online in an English translation by Louis Cancelmi at \href{https://www.signals-noise.com/2017/03/17/bernard-charbonneau-political-ecology/}{https:\Slash{}\Slash{}www.signals-noise.com\Slash{}2017\Slash{}03\Slash{}17\Slash{}bernard-charbonneau-political-ecology}

\emph{(Mediatized Society.}) Paris: R \& N,\forcelinebreak  foreword by André Vitalis, afterword by Christian Roy, 2021. Serialized English translation underway on the dedicated crowdfunding site \href{https://www.patreon.com/christianroymedia}{https:\Slash{}\Slash{}www.patreon.com\Slash{}christianroymedia}\href{https://www.patreon.com/christianroymedia}{.}


Charbonneau's reflection on media owed much to the bitter experience of being ignored by Technological\Slash{}Mediatized Society for dealing with its mechanisms as such rather than taking sides in dominant discourses about current affairs, under cover of which it reshapes human reality unimpeded. Such immediate and profound change does not even count as news for the media that screen out any serious discussion of it, tacitly justifying it instead of informing the public about its implications so people could form their own judgment. “The media are blind to the daily realities that come back every day. They need new stuff, instantly forgotten in favour of some other new thing.”(52-53) This is the law of the scoop that governs "information-publicitypropaganda" as a single set of phenomena, which gives its title to the second part of \emph{La Société médiatisée}, fulfilling the transition “from speech to its industrial reproduction” covered in the first part. What this leads to in the third part is the “manufacturing of an antireality”, besides which Corporate or State censorship is secondary: for the censorship of a Third Power—the Media—is automatic, beyond the awareness of those who experience it or who exert it, as we now know too well as willing pawns of data algorithms. In a final part, asking "Well then, what is to be done?", Charbonneau explores some avenues to get beyond mediatized information and regain access to the kind of direct personal knowledge that humans thirst for as mediators of meaning.

\chapter{Articles}


Bernard Charbonneau published a great many articles in several periodicals, starting with those of the Personalist movement, contributing a few important articles (e.g. on advertising and on education) to its main review \emph{Esprit}, but, along with Ellul, mostly writing much of the material of tiny-circulation internal newsletters of its regional branches in Southwestern France, where most of their key ideas were first articulated. After the war, Ellul would be instrumental in giving Charbonneau access to Protestant publications, such as the student journal \emph{Le Semeur} to which he occasionally contributed from 1945 to the 1980s, and especially the weekly \emph{Réforme} from 1950 to the early 1960s, where the topics of their respective books were often first sketched —even those of one by the other in some cases! After getting a second wind as an elder statesman of the environmental movement of the 1970s, Charbonneau had a regular column in \href{https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_Gueule\_ouverte\_\%28journal\%29}{ }\href{https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_Gueule\_ouverte\_\%28journal\%29}{\emph{La Gueule ouverte}}\href{https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_Gueule\_ouverte\_\%28journal\%29}{ }(\emph{The Gaping Mouth}), an appropriately irreverent ecological spin-off of the satirical paper \emph{CharlieHebdo}, from 1972 to 1977, and would also contribute to the regional newspaper\href{https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_R\%C3\%A9publique\_des\_Pyr\%C3\%A9n\%C3\%A9es}{ }\href{https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_R\%C3\%A9publique\_des\_Pyr\%C3\%A9n\%C3\%A9es}{\emph{La République des Pyrénées}}\href{https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_R\%C3\%A9publique\_des\_Pyr\%C3\%A9n\%C3\%A9es}{ }from 1977 to 1983, as well as to the environmentalist review \emph{Combat Nature} from 1974 to his death in 1996. In the early 1990s, at the instigation of Christian Roy, Charbonneau also contributed to special issues of the Montreal-based trilingual “transcultural magazine” \emph{Vice Versa} on the themes of nature, work, and media.

\chapter{Literature on Bernard Charbonneau}


The go-to source for a steady supply of materials by and about Bernard


Charbonneau is Jean Bernard-Maugiron’s website \href{https://lagrandemue.wordpress.com/}{https:\Slash{}\Slash{}lagrandemue.wordpress.com\Slash{}}\href{https://lagrandemue.wordpress.com/}{.} (It is named after Charbonneau’s central concept of the \emph{Grande Mue}, anticipating recent acknowledgments of the Anthropocene era as that of the Great Moulting of the human species, emancipated from nature’s constant pressure only to succumb to a "second nature" of its own making: totalized society.)


A fairly complete list of Bernard Charbonneau’s articles, compiled by \href{http://asbric.pagesperso-orange.fr/bibli/cvabrege.html}{ }\href{http://asbric.pagesperso-orange.fr/bibli/cvabrege.html}{Roland}\href{http://asbric.pagesperso-orange.fr/bibli/cvabrege.html}{ }\href{http://asbric.pagesperso-orange.fr/bibli/cvabrege.html}{de Miller}\href{http://asbric.pagesperso-orange.fr/bibli/cvabrege.html}{,} appeared at the end of the proceedings of the first conference devoted to him in Toulouse a few weeks after his death:
