Book Description
Au cours de ces deux dernières décennies, l'histoire contemporaine a connu un développement spectaculaire. L'ouverture du champ de recherches de l'" histoire du temps présent " a permis aux historiens d'entreprendre l'étude du passé le plus proche. De leur côté, les sciences sociales se sont de plus en plus tournées vers l'histoire pour donner naissance à une science politique, une anthropologie, une sociologie historiques qui éclairent sous un jour nouveau la période contemporaine. Avec la mondialisation des échanges intellectuels, l'historiographie de la France a été enrichie par un nombre croissant d'études publiées par des historiens étrangers, principalement aux Etats-Unis. L'histoire contemporaine a aussi bénéficié de l'engouement du grand public pour la " mémoire collective " et le " patrimoine ". Une multitude d'associations et d'organismes publics ou privés ont entrepris de sauvegarder leurs archives, d'enregistrer les souvenirs des anciens et d'écrire leur propre histoire. Le présent ouvrage fait le point sur toutes ces innovations. Il examine les principaux domaines de l'histoire contemporaine qui ont été défrichés depuis le début du siècle, indique les grandes directions que prend aujourd'hui la recherche et analyse les rapports entre le savoir historique, la mémoire collective et l'enseignement de l'histoire.

Book Description
In academia, the traditional role of the humanities is being questioned by the “posts”—postmodernism, poststructuralism, and postfeminism—which means that the project of writing history only grows more complex. In History as a Kind of Writing, scholar of French literature and culture Philippe Carrard speaks to this complexity by focusing the lens on the current state of French historiography. Carrard’s work here is expansive—examining the conventions historians draw on to produce their texts and casting light on views put forward by literary theorists, theorists of history, and historians themselves. Ranging from discussions of lengthy dissertations on 1960s social and economic history to a more contemporary focus on events, actors, memory, and culture, the book digs deep into the how of history. How do historians arrange their data into narratives? What strategies do they employ to justify the validity of their descriptions? Are actors given their own voice? Along the way, Carrard also readdresses questions fundamental to the field, including its necessary membership in the narrative genre, the presumed objectivity of historiographic writing, and the place of history as a science, distinct from the natural and theoretical sciences.

Book Description
Debates about the legacy of colonialism in France are not new, but they have taken on new urgency in the wake of recent terrorist attacks. Responding to acts of religious and racial violence in 2005, 2010, and 2015 and beyond, the essays in this volume pit French ideals against government-sponsored revisionist decrees that have exacerbated tensions, complicated the process of establishing and recording national memory, and triggered divisive debates on what it means to identify as French. As they document the checkered legacy of French colonialism, the contributors raise questions about France and the contemporary role of Islam, the banlieues, immigration, race, history, pedagogy, and the future of the Republic. This innovative volume reconsiders the cultural, economic, political, and social realities facing global French citizens today and includes contributions by Achille Mbembe, Benjamin Stora, Françoise Vergès, Alec Hargreaves, Elsa Dorlin, and Alain Mabanckou, among others.

Book Description
The writing of recent history tends to be deeply marked by conflict, by personal and collective struggles rooted in horrific traumas and bitter controversies. Frequently, today’s historians can find themselves researching the same events that they themselves lived through. This book reflects on the concept and practices of what is called “contemporary history,” a history of the present time, and identifies special tensions in the field between knowledge and experience, distance and proximity, and objectivity and subjectivity. Henry Rousso addresses the rise of contemporary history and the relations of present-day societies to their past, especially their legacies of political violence. Focusing on France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, he shows that for contemporary historians, the recent past has become a problem to be solved. No longer unfolding as a series of traditions to be respected or a set of knowledge to be transmitted and built upon, history today is treated as a constant act of mourning or memory, an attempt to atone. Historians must also negotiate with strife within this field, as older scholars who may have lived through events clash with younger historians who also claim to understand the experiences. Ultimately, The Latest Catastrophe shows how historians, at times against their will, have themselves become actors in a history still being made.

Book Description
" Depuis une trentaine d'années, les historiens s'intéressent aux cadres mentaux des hommes d'antan, à leurs visions du monde, de soi et des autres, à leurs opinions, à leurs motivations. Mais quel est l'enjeu de ce type d'histoire ? Quel sens cela a-t-il, par rapport à quel projet historien ? Qu'est-ce que cela implique en terme de pratique historienne ? Quelles en sont les limites, voire les dérives ? " L'élargissement du champ de la recherche historique fait de plus en plus appel à des concepts interdisciplinaires eux-mêmes en pleine évolution et suscite de nombreuses interrogations épistémologiques et méthodologiques, parfois déroutantes pour de jeunes étudiants et chercheurs. A partir des conflits contemporains, fil conducteur de ce manuel inédit, les auteurs abordent des concepts nécessaires à l'histoire culturelle. Ils espèrent ainsi susciter auprès des jeunes générations d'historiens, le goût de la réflexion, de la découverte, de l'utilisation constructive des savoirs afin d'inventer de nouveaux horizons.

Book Description
Ernest Renan was one of the leading lights of the Parisian intellectual scene in the second half of the nineteenth century. A philologist, historian, and biblical scholar, he was a prominent voice of French liberalism and secularism. Today most familiar in the English-speaking world for his 1882 lecture “What Is a Nation?” and its definition of a nation as an “everyday plebiscite,” Renan was a major figure in the debates surrounding the Franco-Prussian War, the Paris Commune, and the birth of the Third Republic and had a profound influence on thinkers across the political spectrum who grappled with the problem of authority and social organization in the new world wrought by the forces of modernization. What Is a Nation? and Other Political Writings is the first English-language anthology of Renan’s political thought. Offering a broad selection of Renan’s writings from several periods of his public life, most previously untranslated, it restores Renan to his place as one of France’s major liberal thinkers and gives vital critical context to his views on nationalism. The anthology illuminates the characteristics that distinguished nineteenth-century French liberalism from its English and American counterparts as well as the more controversial parts of Renan’s legacy, including his analysis of colonial expansion, his views on Islam and Judaism, and the role of race in his thought. The volume contains a critical introduction to Renan’s life and work as well as detailed annotations that assist in recovering the wealth and complexity of his thought.
