Ivan Jablonka : History is a contemporary literature (Seuil)
Ivan Jablonka ©Bertrand Gaudillère/Item
11 Rue de Brest
Lyon 2ème
In collaboration with éditions du Seuil
Presented by : Éric Fitoussi / Librairie Passages
History is not fiction, sociology is not a novel, anthropology is not exoticism, and all three obey to certain rules of method. Within this framework, nothing prevents the researcher from writing. Literature can produce knowledge, and history is both scientific and literary. So, can social sciences move and captivate us ? Yes, says Ivan Jablonka (France), a historian, editor-in-chief of laviedesidees.fr and co-director of the "La République des Idées" collection at Éditions du Seuil.
