Extrait : "On a voulu voir deux hommes distincts ainsi que deux noms séparés dans Napoléon Bonaparte. Bonaparte, a-t-on dit, nom frappant, facile à retenir, simple, uni, militaire, à consonnes dures, brèves, sèches, expressives. Nom éminemment convenable au citoyen, général en chef de l'armée d'un peuple libre. Napoléon, a-t-on ajouté, nom sonore, vibrant, impérial, harmonieux, coulant. Nom doux o les voyelles dominent..."

In Women and the Historical Enterprise in America, Julie Des Jardins explores American women's participation in the practice of history from the late nineteenth century through the end of World War II, a period in which history became professionalized as an increasingly masculine field of scientific inquiry. Des Jardins shows how women nevertheless transformed the profession during these years in their roles as writers, preservationists, educators,...

El desplegado por los europeos y, en la primera mitad del siglo xx, también por norteamericanos y japoneses, fue característica sobresaliente de la historia del mundo desde la Edad Moderna. Todavía hoy perduran las devastadoras implicaciones y terribles consecuencias del colonialismo, y por ello es más necesario que nunca una revisión no solo de...

The nineteenth century saw the emergence both of history as an independent scientific discipline and of national history as a means to legitimize the nation state. In History and the State in Nineteenth-Century Japan Margaret Mehl examines how the new imperial government, which replaced the rule of the shoguns in 1868, made the compilation of an official national history part of its nation-building project.
An imperial rescript decreed that a government...

Cultural history is increasingly informed by the history of material culture-the ways in which individuals or entire societies create and relate to objects both mundane and extraordinary-rather than on textual evidence alone. Books such as The Hare with Amber Eyes and A History of the World in 100 Objects indicate the growing popularity of this way of understanding the past. In History and Its Objects, Peter N. Miller uncovers the forgotten origins...

Este libro tiene la arriesgada pretensión de ofrecer un pasaje a un lugar en el que apenas ha estado nadie. El lugar es la historia que está más allá de lo social, no en contra de lo social. En el siglo XX, el triunfo del pensamiento de izquierda -un pensamiento masculino espléndido- ha ido llevando a la gente a creer que toda la historia es social. Y, sin embargo, no es así, como han aprendido por experiencia y con padecimiento algunas feministas...

Extrait: "M. Taine a eu de nombreux précurseurs. A peine l'étranger avait-il pénétré dans Paris, que les insulteurs se levaient de toute part, pour accabler de leurs invectives le chef de la Grande Armée, le défenseur de la grande nation. De 1814 à 1830, tout a été mis en œuvre pour salir sa mémoire. La passion sincère et la passion vénale ont rivalisé de zèle ; la littérature officielle s'est jointe à la littérature des pamphlets..."...

When people experience a traumatic event, such as war or the threat of annihilation, they often turn to history for stories that promise a positive outcome to their suffering. During World War II, the French took comfort in the story of Joan of Arc and her heroic efforts to rid France of foreign occupation. To bring the Joan narrative more into line with current circumstances, however, popular retellings modified the original story so that what people...

The past is what happened. History is what we remember and write about that past, the narratives we craft to make sense out of our memories and their sources. But what does it mean to look at the past and to remember that "nothing happened"? Why might we feel as if "nothing is the way it was"? This book transforms these utterly ordinary observations and redefines "Nothing" as something we have known and can remember.
"Nothing" has been a catch-all...

Le volume que je publie aujourd'hui ne doit être considéré que comme un premier jalon autour duquel viendront se grouper tous les faits qui ne sont points parvenus à ma connaissance"....

Critical theorists of economy tend to understand the history of market society as a succession of distinct stages. This vision of history rests on a chronological conception of time whereby each present slips into the past so that a future might take its place. This book argues that the linear mode of thinking misses something crucial about the dynamics of contemporary capitalism. Rather than each present leaving a set past behind it, the past continually...

A penetrating critical perspective on the question of Thomas Jefferson's paternity that will make you rethink recent conventional wisdom.
It is accepted by most scholars that Jefferson had a lengthy affair with his slave Sally Hemings and fathered at least one of her children, a conclusion based on a 1998 DNA study published in Nature and on the work of historian Annette Gordon-Reed. Framing a Legend argues compellingly that the DNA evidence is inconclusive...
