  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.

  Gender and 19th century novels

  Le XIX^e siècle a vu s’opérer le « sacre du roman » (Mona Ozouf). La promotion de ce genre anciennement déprécié est liée à l’entreprise de légitimation qu’ont menée, dans leurs œuvres, quelques grands romanciers du siècle, comme Balzac et Zola. Elle se manifeste aussi par l’augmentation quantitative des romans publiés, la diversification des supports éditoriaux (volumes, feuilletons, recueils) ainsi que celle des modes de diffusion (cabinets de lecture, collections, compilations). Ces différents facteurs induisent une « spécialisation du roman », c’est-à-dire une division du genre romanesque en de multiples sous-genres. Roman noir, personnel, sentimental, historique, d’aventures, de mœurs, de cape et d’épée, mondain, psychologique, scientifique ne sont que quelques-unes des catégories permettant aux contemporains de fragmenter un domaine romanesque devenu immense.

  The press : an essential resource for film studies

  This one-day symposium, organized by Kinétraces, will examine the complex, diverse relationships that link the press, the cinema and the study of film and audiovisual media. Where are the points of contact and exchange between cinema and the press? How do media studies scholars use newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as primary sources in their research? How can researchers characterize the parallel interactions between the press, film and society?
