In parallel, Angenot developed "discursive history". Here he examined the grand narratives, but as a modernist, rather than postmodernist. He has been concerned with the nineteenth century, and representative thinkers around revolution and social struggles: Auguste Comte, Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, Étienne Cabet, Pierre Leroux, Proudhon, the Belgian Hippolyte Colins, Jules Guesde, Georges Sorel, and others. His conclusions are on the complexities and breaks within this tradition of discourse.
