Sumario:At the beginning of the twentieth century, the scientific field of French Hispanism knew not only great debates between its different currents on questions of university organization or methodology but also that it was confronted with the context of a society impacted in less than three decades by the rise of the reactionary currents, international tensions and the two world wars. In this scenario, French specialists in the Spanish-speaking world's language, literature, and history decide to speak up or get involved in politics to change the society in which they live. A set of institutional and personal decisions that shows us how scientists come out of their positions of neutrality, interact with society, participate in it and, at times, are submerged by major political changes that they accept or respond to, not without having an impact on their personal and professional experiences.
