Jean Haudry (28 May 1934 – 23 May 2023) was a French linguist and Indo-Europeanist. Haudry was generally regarded as a distinguished linguist by other scholars,Template:Sfn[1] although he was also criticized for his political proximity with the far-right.Template:Sfn Haudry's L'Indo-Européen, published in 1979, remains the reference introduction to the Proto-Indo-European language written in French.[2]

Biography

Jean Haudry was born on 28 May 1934 in Le Perreux-sur-Marne in the eastern suburbs of Paris.[3] He became agrégé in grammar studies at the Script error: No such module "Lang". in 1959[4] and earned a PhD in linguistics in 1975 after a thesis on Vedic Sanskrit grammatical cases.[5]

Haudry was a member of the Institute of Formation of the Front National (FN) of Jean-Marie Le Pen.Template:Sfn He also served in the Scientific Council of the FN until the late 1990sTemplate:Sfn when he decided to follow Bruno Mégret and his splinter party Mouvement National Républicain.[6]

In 1980, he co-founded with GRECE members Template:Ill and Jean Varenne the "Institute of Indo-European Studies" (IEIE) at the Jean Moulin University Lyon 3.Template:Sfn Under his leadership between 1982 and 1998, the IEIE published the journal Études indo-européennes. He was a professor of Sanskrit and dean of the faculty of letters at the University Lyon 3 and a directeur d'études at the 4th section of the École Pratique des Hautes Études. He became professor emeritus in 2002.[7]

Haudry practiced a version of modern paganism that put heavy emphasis on ethnicity. He described this paganism: "each [pagan] religion belongs specifically to the corresponding ethnic and linguistic community, which, far from seeking to convert foreigners, jealously guards the benefits of its religion for its members".[8] In 1995, he participated in the founding of the nativist movement Terre et Peuple, along with Pierre Vial and Jean Mabire, and served as its vice president.[9]Template:Sfn

Soon after Haudry's retirement, the French Ministry of Education appointed a commission to investigate whether Haudry's institute was too closely associated with the far-right. The work of the commission was mooted when Haudry's successor, Jean-Paul Allard, dissolved the institute and reconstituted it as an association free from state supervision.Template:Sfn

He was a director of the Association of French Friends of South African Communities.Template:Sfn

Haudry died on 23 May 2023, five days before his 89th birthday.[10]

Indo-European studies

Three-sky model

In his most important work on comparative mythology, La Religion cosmique des Indo-Européens (1987; "The Cosmic Religion of Indo-Europeans"), Haudry argued that Proto-Indo-European cosmogony featured three 'skies' (diurnal, nocturnal and liminal) each having its own set of deities and colours (white, red, and dark).Template:Snf The proposition is often mentioned in handbooks,Template:SnfTemplate:Sfn although it has been criticized by some scholars as an "overinterpretation" of available data.Template:Sfn[11]

Three-sky cosmological model proposed by J. HaudryTemplate:SnfTemplate:Sfn
Realm Theme Deities Colour
Day Celestial "Daylight-sky god" (*Dyēus) white
Dawn/twilight Bridging "Binder-god" (Kronos, Savitṛ, Saturnus) red
Night Night Spirits "Night-sky god" (Ouranos) dark

Thought, word, action

In Haudry's 2009 essay entitled The Triad: thought, word, action, in the Indo-European tradition, he stated that the formula "thought, word, action" had a wide distribution in all of the ancient literatures of Indo-European languages in antiquity.[12][13]

According to Haudry, there is a connection between the triad of "thought, word, action" and fire or light. He said that the presence of "divine fires" is in several Indo-European mythologies, such as the figure of Loki in Norse mythology.[13][14]

For Alberto De Antoni, this study, which is "very scholarly and elaborate from a linguistic point of view, with an extensive bibliography and a critical apparatus", allows Haudry, thanks to the multiplicity of sources within the Indo-European world and due to Haudry's "excellent linguistic expertise" to reconstitute the verbs and nouns of the triadic formula.[15]

Arctic hypothesis

Haudry supported the Arctic hypothesis of the origin of Indo-Europeans.Template:Sfn However, he believed that the Kurgan culture was probably the center of diffusion.[16]
