7. N’est-il d’histoire que d’historiens? Pratiques et institutionnalisations de la recherche sur le passé menée par des non-historiens
Main Article Content
Abstract
Quand est-on historien ? Quand fait-on de l’histoire ? Faut-il être l’un pour faire l’autre ? Sous la présidence d’un historien, une quinzaine de représentants des sciences humaines et sociales pratiquées à l’université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne ont librement échangé sur leurs usages scientifiques, leur façon de se définir institutionnellement, la place de l’histoire et le rapport au passé dans leurs champs respectifs, leur formation et la construction de leurs carrières aussi. Ces questionnements développés en commun visaient à déplacer les lignes et à sortir de configurations pensées en termes de conflits des facultés et de hiérarchies (l’histoire et les sciences auxiliaires). Loin de toute épistémologie essentialiste, il s’agissait de réfléchir sur les méthodes, mais aussi sur les conditions, les possibilités, et les limites, du dialogue entre disciplines.
Table-ronde organisée le 12 décembre 2018 à l’Institut de Recherche Juridique de la Sorbonne, à l’occasion des premières Assises de la recherche de l’Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
English Title and Abstract
Who Says that Only Historians Do History Work? Practices and Institutionalizations of Research on the Past by Non-Historians
When are we ‘historians’? When are we doing history? Do we need to be the first, in order to do the second? Under the chairmanship of an historian, around fifteen representatives of the Humanities and Social Sciences practiced at the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne freely discussed their scientific usages, how they define themselves institutionally, and the place of history and the relationship with the past in their respective fields, as well as their curricula and their careers. In jointly developing these issues, they aimed at moving the lines—at escaping the various configurations of the present ‘conflict of the faculties’ and of disciplinary hierarchies (history vs. auxiliary sciences). Far from any essentialist epistemology, the intent of this conversation was to reflect on the methods, but also on the conditions, possibilities, and limits of the current dialogue between disciplines.
Round table organized on December 12, 2018 at the Sorbonne Legal Research Institute, on the occasion of the first Symposium on Research at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
Keywords: History, historiography, epistemology, conflict of the faculties, interdisciplinarity
