Applied history, or the thaumaturgic historians, Henry Rousso.
In recent years, the social demand for history has been growing. Many historians are doing commissioned work on contract with the government, administrative agencies or private companies. In the USA, Public History is looking for a new definition of the " historian ", in the context of unemployment in the universities. In Europe, and especially in France, where the first transplantations of the American " model " can be seen, the social sciences are attempting to find a new balance between fundamental and applied research. History is thus taking the place of other disciplines, such as economies or sociology. This presents risks for the future of the profession. There is an epistemological debate on the object of historical research. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
