Résumé anglais Bicentenary issues : Michel Vovelle interviewed by Michel Trebitsch The preparation of the Bicentenary has once again thrown open the quarrels of interpretation of the French Revolution, with the question of the Rights of Man and the universality which the men of 1789 intended to give them assuming a central position in the discussion. Apart from the scientific issues, the Bicentenary is also an ideological and political issue. Has the left-wing tradition nothing to say in the face of the offensive of the "new Royalists" who reject the Revolution in its totality ? Through the various governmental and university bodies, are we tending towards a "co-habitation" Bicentenary ? Michel Vovelle, the president of the C.N.R.S. commission in charge of the preparation of the Bicentenary, here replies to our questions.
