description This article focuses on the ways in which foreign languages were made compulsory in the French education system and defended as practical knowledge by a new fraction of the bourgeoisie in the second half of the 19th century. It thereby highlights some of the historical conditions of possibility for the rise of a market culture within the education system, the ways it was promoted or imposed and the reasons underlying its success. Showing how this defence is firmly anchored in the historical debates on the educational forms necessary to encourage an enterprising spirit since the 18th century, the article sheds light on the mobilisation that preceded the introduction of such forms in the French classical lycées in 1902. It thus contributes to understanding how a useful discipline or school subject can emerge, revealing the links between curriculum transformations and the changes affecting the social space and the balance of power within the field of power.
