Étudier la Révolution française

Le renouvellement naît surtout d’un dialogue entre des traditions culturelles et scientifiques différentes. Dans le cas de la Révolution française, c’est d’autant plus passionnant qu’on touche à des éléments d’identité très forts pour les Français. On replace cette période fondatrice pour l’histoire hexagonale dans un cadre géographique plus vaste. On l’examine à côté d’autres révolutions qui se sont déroulées à la même époque, comme la Révolution américaine par exemple. Plus...
