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.

Being a journalist faced with environmental crisis - professional and associative commitments
Engagements professionnels et associatifs
L’ancienneté de la médiatisation des questions relatives à la protection de la nature, à la préservation de l’environnement et aux dangers de la pollution est déjà en partie connue. Cette journée d'études questionnera la spécificité du métier de journaliste environnemental. De la sensibilité naturaliste au combat politique, quelle a été la palette de leurs engagements depuis le XIXe siècle ? Que connaît-on des réseaux associatifs et professionnels ayant structuré leur activité, dans le but de mieux identifier ces acteurs ? À quels outils rhétoriques ont-ils recouru pour sensibiliser leur lectorat ou leur auditoire ?

Power and media, media power Insights on the Americas
Insights on the Americas
For its 11th issue, RITA proposes to interrogate the links between power and media in the Americas. Several areas of debate can be suggested, although they should not be considered as exclusive. Articles making a critical analysis of official media as well as opposition media, in varied historical and geographical contexts, will of course be welcome. Other articles may deal with the treatment of popular movements by the media. Critical reflections on the relationship between media and economic power are also encouraged. The Thema section can also include analysis of the current diversification of information media by focusing, for instance, on the emergence of “alternative” media on the Internet, or on the power of fake news over the construction of collective representations.

The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance
Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

Gilles Martinet - an intellectual and political career on the left
À l'occasion du dixième anniversaire de la mort de Gilles Martinet, il apparaît judicieux de revenir sur l'itinéraire de cet acteur important de l'histoire des gauches françaises et européennes au XXe siècle. Communiste dans les années trente, résistant sous l'Occupation, Gilles Martinet se détache progressivement de l'orbite du PCF après-guerre.

Are Journalists the historians of the present day ?
An investigation of an ambition, from the Englightenment to the present day
Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle en Europe, les journalistes ont aspiré à dépasser les contraintes d’immédiateté et de périodicité pour prendre leurs distances à l’égard de l’actualité. Ils ont manifesté l’intention de mettre en perspective les événements dans le cadre d’un discours à vocation historique.
