L’historiographie de la Révolution haïtienne est en plein essor depuis les vingt dernières années. Il existe désormais un large éventail d’interprétations sur les événements qui mènent à la création d’Haïti. L’objet de ce mémoire est d’exposer différentes perspectives sur des questions qui demeurent cruciales dans l’historiographie contemporaine. Le mémoire est divisé en trois sections. Chacun des chapitres développe une problématique particulière de l’historiographie en mettant en parallèle les conclusions de différents chercheurs. Le premier chapitre est consacré au thème de la transformation de la révolte en révolution. Ensuite, il sera question de l'impact de la Révolution haïtienne sur l'histoire de l'esclavage dans le monde atlantique. Pour conclure, la dichotomie entre l’absence de longue date de la Révolution haïtienne dans l’historiographie occidentale et l’attention qu’elle reçoit …

AbstractWhile it has long been at the centre of film discourse, the concept of authorship is still largely unexplored in studies concentrating on early cinema. This lag finds explanation in the fact that early cinema presumes a different relation between subject and film practice, outside of the strategies of enunciation and reception that have been consolidated by “institutional” cinema. The majority of the work published on the subject of authorship proposes authorial models that borrow from the traditions of the “major” arts. However, early cinema invites us to reconsider the genealogy of authorship within different cultural contexts. This project is particularly important for feminists studying the role of women in early cinema.

The essay deals with some crucial points in the historiographical discussion about Italian towns. It begins by considering rural society's ability of resistance and how this resistance has conditioned the historiographical analysis of the relationship between town and country areas. It continues to discuss how the decline of the historiographical model of classical Meridionalism and the rise of the Third Italy model has reawoken historiographical interest in Southern towns and North-eastern Italian middle-sized centres. It proceeds with the explanation of how the dialectics of both the administrative history of the centre and periphery and of the political cultural history of the construction of local identities and the processes of nationalization have given us a key to the understanding of contemporary Italian towns. Finally there is a brief discussion about how Italian historiography has dealt with the relationship between the physical, social, and representative morphology of towns.

This text proposes several reflections regarding issues communicated and discussed in session. The first part lays out the particularities in the history of Quebec that color its environmental history, which are five: its geohistorical position as a crossroads, its belonging to multiple networks, its slow awakening to a consciousness of social classes, its tendency to withdraw, and its ambivalence. The second part poses several fundamental questions for the construction of an environmental history, such as the social appropriation of space, the evolution of spaces of relation, the central role of humans, the specific influence of capitalist development, and cultural impacts. The final part poses three questions on a methodological order: the necessity of a comparative approach, the attention that must be paid to thresholds of passage, and the problems of scale of these phenomena.
