This dissertation analyzes mobility and power in an age of expansionary imperialism and accelerated globalization. Based on archival research in France, the U.K., and Vietnam, "In-between Empires" reconstructs the social histories of steamship voyages along the Trans-Suez maritime highways connecting France to its Indo-Pacific empire. In so doing, the dissertation reinterprets the rise of steam-powered imperialism between the 1830s and the 1930s. Much historiography has assumed that steamships, port complexes, and maritime highways represented unproblematic pathways through which imperial sovereignty flowed as smoothly as information through an underwater cable. Reifying a meta-narrative in which space and time were swiftly and uniformly annihilated in the latter-19th century, such an interpretation risks implying that European states, once equipped with coal-burning steamships, moved people and cargo reflexively and without resistance across the thousands of kilometers separating empire and metropole. This dissertation, by contrast, demonstrates that the steamship highways crisscrossing the Suez Canal were contested borderlands in which empire was made and unmade. Juxtaposing the everyday life of crowded steamships against the inter-imperial politics of a vast maritime route connecting European metropoles to empire in Africa, Asia, and Oceania, the dissertation argues that French imperial sovereignty took shape in the struggle to control people in motion and govern a trans-imperial highway. From the militant demands of a multi-racial maritime workforce to the elite networking of an interoceanic commuter class, a host of overlooked actors jockeyed for influence over the highways of imperialism. As a result, at the apex of Europe's "New Imperialism" and a global age of steam, seemingly routine transit was fraught with conflict and filled with encounters, many of which called into question the stability of colonial racial hierarchies and the ideology of civilization itself. In the interstices of empire, moreover, the dilemmas of daily life - establishing legal jurisdiction, for instance, or following rules for disease control - produced dramatic experiments in inter-imperial governance while enlivening the tensions between nation, empire, and capital.

520 $a Cette these porte sur la mobilite et le pouvoir a une epoque d'imperialisme croissant et de mondialisation acceleree. Base sur des recherches archivistiques en France, au Royaume-Uni et au Vietnam, « Interstices imperiaux » reconstitue les histoires sociales des voyages en paquebot au long des grandes routes maritimes 'au-dela de Suez' qui reliaient la France a son empire indo-pacifique. Dans ce cadre, la these reinterprete la montee de l'imperialisme a vapeur entre les annees 1830 et les annees 1930. L'historiographie de l'age de la vapeur a longtemps suppose que les navires a vapeur, les complexes portuaires et les grandes routes maritimes communiquaient la souverainete imperiale aussi facilement que l'information a travers un cable sous-marin. Une telle lecture risque de reifier un meta-recit de la compression espace-temps a la fin du XIXe siecle, comme si les Etats europeens, une fois equipes de navires a vapeur et de charbon, ont pu deplacer les sujets et les marchandises a travers des milliers de kilometres sans rencontrer aucun resistance ou friction. En revanche, cette these demontre que les routes maritimes qui sillonnent le canal de Suez etaient des frontieres contestees dans lesquelles l'empire s'est fait et s'est defait. A force de juxtaposer la vie quotidienne des paquebots bondes a la politique inter-imperiale d'une vaste route maritime entre les metropoles europeennes et l'empire 'au-dela de Suez', la these soutient que la souverainete imperiale francaise a pris forme entre les empires, dans la lutte pour controler les gens en mouvement et gouverner une route trans-imperiale. Des revendications militantes d'une main-d'oeuvre maritime multiraciale au « networking » d'une classe elite de navetteurs interoceaniques, une multitude d'acteurs negliges se sont battus pour influencer les voies de l'imperialisme francais. En consequence, au sommet du « nouvel imperialisme » europeen et d'une age mondiale de vapeur, le processus de transport, qui peut sembler si evident, etait seme de conflits et de rencontres, dont beaucoup remettaient en question la stabilite des hierarchies raciales coloniales et l'ideologie de la civilisation elle-meme. Dans les interstices imperiaux, en outre, les defis de la vie quotidienne - etablir une juridiction legale, par exemple, ou suivre des regles de controle des maladies - ont produit des experiences importantes de gouvernance inter-imperiale tout en animant les tensions entre nation, empire et capital.
