L'objectif de ce mémoire est d'analyser le traitement du concept de peuple dans le débat historiographique autour de la révolution américaine en se basant sur la perspective de l'historien Edmund S. Morgan, puis sur les perspectives d'autres courants historiographiques tels que ceux de Gary Nash et de Ellen Meiksins Wood. Pour ce faire, le mémoire est divisé en prolégomènes présentant le lien entre l'histoire conceptuelle et l'histoire sociale développé par Reinhart Koselleck, puis les chapitres suivants abordant l'historiographie de la révolution américaine et l'apport spécifique de l'historien Edmund S. Morgan. Il s'agit ensuite de l'exposition de débats dans l'historiographie de la révolution américaine, notamment l'opposition des libéraux avec les marxistes et le courant de la nouvelle gauche, puis enfin, l'analyse des présupposés épistémologiques et normatifs …

AbstractAre the gospels biographies ? Heroic legends ? To what literary genre do they belong ? Should they all be lumped into a single genre ? In seeking answers to questions such as these, biblical criticism often makes use of the techniques of comparative literature. Exegetes look for formal and thematic similarities between two static entities, two works that are, by all accounts, “finished.” The moment one abandons the idea of a text as a static object in favour of a more dynamic view of the text as an event which the reader experiences, this approach runs up against some major obstacles. The author maintains that the generic classification of the gospels requires a far more subtle approach than the simple comparison of texts on the basis of formal or thematic characteristics and tries to show that genre cannot be specified without reference to the effects produced in the reader.

AbstractIn Syria, within the last thirty years, there has been an important revival of Christian monasticism. Restorations and constructions of large monasteries undertaken by certain denominational Churches clearly demonstrate a will to create their own historical prints within national territory. Considering the construction of this particular historiography in the general context of government's construction policy, this article analyzes the modalities of Christians' social inscription in the national land as well as their political inscription in Syrian society.

AbstractWhat may translation history contribute to history? We will try to answer this question by examining two examples from translation history in Mexico and Chile. The transmission of the foundation myths in Mexico, from the first alphabetical transcriptions into Nahuatl, as well as the translation activity promoted by Chile's first Republican governments, reveal that the history of translation, with its methods and perspectives, can introduce interrogations in historiography, and that it can and must also establish a dialogue with general history and its subdisciplines, such as intellectual history and the history of the book and reading.

At the tum of the 1920s, the journal L'Action française contributed greatly to the development of a commemorative discourse on the Battle of the Long Sault, which opposed seventeen Frenchmen and about forty Hurons and Algonquins to several hundred Iroquois in 1660. This article examines the commemoration of the Amerindians who participated in the historic battle. For the contributors to L'Action française, the enemy was not so much the native as the contemporary threats he symbolized: industrialization, urbanization, dechristianization, feminism, trade unionism and, in short, the assimilation of the French Canadians. They have thus forged an image that structures the interpretations of our past and present relations with real Amerindians.

AbstractWhat view should be taken of the relationships between the humanities and literature ? More specifically, how have considerations on language and discourse, arising out of literary theory and criticism, contributed to drawing the attention of geographers to new issues, and thus to calling into question their own discursive practices ?
