    The encyclopedia of historiographies: Africas, Americas, Asias

    L’Encyclopédie des Historiographies, Afriques, Amériques, Asies, dont le volume 1 vient de paraître aux Presses de l’Inalco, a pour ambition de faire connaître dans leur richesse et diversité différentes expressions de rapports au passé, des formes de récits et de pratiques historiographiques peu connues ou minimisées en Occident. Il s’agit non seulement de mettre en lumière ces productions historiques, des périodes anciennes à nos jours et dans toutes les régions du monde en dehors de l’Occident, mais aussi de contribuer au renouvellement historiographique ouvert depuis plusieurs décennies par différents courants, post-colonial, subaltern, ou linguistic, qui participent à décentrer la pratique historienne européenne, tant par les objets de recherche et les paradigmes que par les sources. Dans la perspective du volume 2 en préparation, consacré aux « figures, écoles et débats historiographiques », le séminaire propose une réflexion collective sur l’ambition scientifique de l’Encyclopédie des historiographies.

    New approaches to the history of soft power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

    The study of soft power in the modern period is unequal, with much attention understandably paid to the Cold War when culture offered a surrogate for damaged and blocked political dialogues. But practices that aimed at promoting a nation abroad were not invented after the Second World War, nor were they inexistent before then. Some historians have traced their origins back to the nineteenth century with the formation of nation states (in Europe) and the growth of ministries of foreign affairs.  In addition, the historiography has largely omitted soft power policies produced by and targeting so called “periphery countries”. Therefore, much remains to be written if we are to fully appreciate the history of soft power and its associated key concepts (public and cultural diplomacy, propaganda, publicity, promotion, oeuvres -in the French context, public relations) and the multiplicity of meanings with which these ideas and practices were endowed globally throughout the modern period.
