n° 2 de la Revue d'histoire sociale: Les usages scientifiques du peuple (French)

Il y a plus de dix ans déjà, le philosophe Étienne Balibar estimait que la notion de peuple et ses usages constituaient « un sujet qu’on pourrait croire labouré en tous sens » [Balibar, 2013]. La thématique était cependant revenue sur le devant de la scène après la vague révolutionnaire du « Printemps arabe », comme le révéla la succession de publications scientifiques qui lui ont été  consacrées dans les années 2010 [Berns et Carré, 2013 ; Moreau, 2015 ; Goin et Provenzano, 2016 et 2017].

Wartime work (19th-20th century): Working in war and post-war context

Symposium at the University of Tours/France from 27 to 28 November 2025

Wars themselves have become industrialized and have gradually increased in scale since the mid-nineteenth century.
