  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.

  Communication and plagiarism

  Media coverage of plagarism

  Réfléchir et travailler sur la portée communicationnelle du plagiat nous paraît important afin de mettre en lumière les médiations qui entourent et font surgir le plagiat dans l’espace médiatique et dans l’arène publique, d’autant que celui-ci donne lieu aisément à controverses et débat public. Sa révélation est donc également source de communications. Penser la communication autour du plagiat conduit enfin à une réflexion sur éthique et communication, information et vérité, et permet d’analyser l’arsenal discursif de la preuve.
