Résumé anglais Jay Winter would not have signed any of the Historians petitions against the fourth article of the French colonization law. He thinks all the memory laws are absurd, but that it is quite legitimate and logical that the politicians want to use professors to diffuse their conception of national identity. He wishes professors and intellectuals to ignore such injunctions, but to take care of the sensibilities of communities whom they belong.
