Isabelle Backouche, Fanny Cosandey, Christophe Duhamelle, Marie-Elizabeth Ducreux, Elie Haddad, Laurent Joly et Mathieu Marraud (eds.)

Atelier du Centre de Recherches Historiques, 21 bis, 2021

The subjects of these essays range from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, from Hungary to France, from a localized case taken at a precise moment to a national evolution covering three centuries. Their themes — spanning the religious, political, economic and juridical — are just as varied. What could they have in common? Principally, a collective approach, the approach of RHiSoP, a research group of the Centre de Recherches Historiques. A group where every researcher practices a situated history of society making that can enounce or leave unspoken, affirm or dispute, hierarchies, categories and boundaries – the structures.
