    History and polemics: historiographical debates and the public space

    Ever since history became an academic knowledge, historiographical debates have been exceptional moments of construction, condensation and dissensus, often resulting in historiographical turns. Controversies around specific themes have divided entire fields of knowledge production, bringing into light different, often contrasting conceptions, methodologies and practices of historical knowledge. Such debates were, at the same time, moments in which the description and interpretation of the past represented a public intervention in the present, in which the defense of a certain way of making sense of history was also a way of taking of sides in a specific contemporary political discussion. Historiographical polemics were therefore moments in which historiographical knowledge had to confront in the public space other approaches to the past, thus making visible, and challenging, the paradigms that rule the historical discipline and public history.

    Seminar - History

    Memory and history in Latin America, Spain and Portugal. From the contemporary to the present day

    Du contemporain au temps présent

    La tension entre mémoire(s) et histoire(s), que certains d’entre nous ont abordé aussi bien dans leurs travaux qu’au cours de précédents séminaires, ne peut être dissociée de récents usages publics et politiques du passé. La mémoire, marqueur des sociétés démocratiques, est devenue un terme galvaudé. Reconsidérant les principaux concepts à l’œuvre afin d’appréhender le contemporain ainsi qu’un temps présent hanté par un passé tragique, épistémologiquement dépendant d’un témoignage érigé par ailleurs en exigence morale et sociale, ce séminaire à plusieurs voix s’intéressera à l’écriture de ce passé proche.
