The identity of French Protestant communities during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries may be defined above all as a communion of faith. On its own, however, this is not a sufficient criterion : an anthropological point of view interrogating the reflexive aspect of these communities, that is, the way they represented themselves, can further help us to trace the symbolic relations that allowed them to maintain their cohesion (unity in diversity). Moreover, during the Wars of Religion and later the “intolerant tolerance” inaugurated by the Edict of Nantes, representations of French Protestants evolved in response to the monarchy and changes in its attitude towards them, up until the revocation of the Edict in 1685.

AbstractThis article is centered on the controversy that took place in the 1990's between the defenders of historical comparatism on the one hand and the supporters of the “Cultural transfers” approach on the other hand. It's main objective is to help better understand the historical context as well as the theoretical repercussions of this controversy. In order to do so, it will first retrace the history of various efforts to elaborate the idea of a world history that began at the end of the 19th century. It will then emphasize the fact that in order to understand the intensity of the controversy – especially in its German context – one must recall two crucial elements : the particular historical situation at the beginning of the 1990's and the discussions on the German “Sonderweg”.
