using this meaning as a departure point, this paper develops a specifically sociological typology
of states of exception – enunciative, reciprocal, and structural – grounded in a Hegelian sociology
of power. The schema is useful for parsing and interpreting several of Robespierre’s most important
speeches during the Revolution. This analysis leads to retheorization of modernity in the French Revolution,
with specific attention to the interpretation, in Paris, of the revolution in Saint Domingue.
