  100 years of universal suffrage in Luxembourg

  2019 will mark the 100th anniversary of the introduction of universal suffrage in Luxembourg. On this occasion, the Chamber of Deputies and the National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) will organise a major exhibition on the historical background, the establishment of universal suffrage in 1919 and the consequences of the democratisation process of Luxembourg’s society. In this context, a scientific conference will be held. It will cover both the origins of the discussion on universal suffrage and the struggle surrounding its introduction in the Grand Duchy as well as its establishment in the years 1917-1919 and its effects in the following decades.

  Écrire l'histoire

  Reconstruction, récit, fiction ?

  Les questions de méthodologie sont souvent considérés comme arides et ne suscitent que rarement l’enthousiasme, mais elles sont un élément sine qua non de la recherche scientifique et le manque de conscience méthodologique est une tare pour toute science. Pour la recherche historique, l’interrogation méthodologique est par essence interdisciplinaire et doit porter aussi bien sur les objets d’étude et les modalités de leur construction que sur la nature linguistique des outils mobilisés pour les aborder et les disséquer. Depuis le linguistic turn, les réflexions post-modernes sur le statut de la parole historienne et les analyses de Foucault sur l’« ordre du discours », l’horizon d’une telle interrogation est donc toujours nécessairement le langage et la nature textuelle de la réalité abordée par les sciences historiques.
