description The memory of Marcel Dubois (1856-1916) is linked with colonial geography he taught at the University of Paris for over 20 years, from 1893 onwards. Yet, this scholar, unusual among Paul Vidal de la Blache’s pupils, took a much more important place in the landscape of the « Fin de siècle » French intellectuals than this specific field of colonial sciences. He was a very engaged scholar, between applied and political geography, colonialism and nationalism, but he was also a leader of opinion, the “superstar” of a Sorbonne school of geography and a very powerful member of the Paris academic elite who played a significant role during the Dreyfus Affair. Our aim here, is to detail his personal and professional path, his social and political networks and his various actions, to get a better image of him in the context of Third Republic Paris and France.
