"De quand date la France ? Au lendemain de la Révolution, lorsqu{u2019}il apparut que les recherches historiques ne pouvaient plus concerner la royauté seulement, mais le peuple tout entier, la question fut posée avec une insistance extraordinaire. Elle hanta les frères Thierry, Guizot, Michelet, Quinet, Fustel de Coulanges, Vidal de la Blache, Lavisse, Jullian. Les origines nationales devinrent l{u2019}objet d{u2019}une quête qui, pendant plus d{u2019}un siècle, mobilisa les meilleurs historiens du pays. En dix brefs chapitres suivis d{u2019}une petite anthologie, cet essai à l{u2019}écriture alerte examine les théories qui tentèrent d{u2019}élucider le mystère des origines de la France. On y reconnaîtra les Francs, les Gaulois, le baptême de Clovis, l{u2019}héritage romain, la ± révolution {OCLCbr#BB} du XIIe siècle, celle de 1789 ou encore les débats qui entourèrent les notions de territoire, de langue et de race. On y retrouvera aussi les métaphores de l{u2019}arbre, du sang, de la famille, de la personne, du fil, du germe, du chêne, par lesquelles les historiens exprimèrent alors leurs conceptions des origines nationales. Ces conceptions font sourire les historiens d{u2019}aujourd{u2019}hui, héritiers de ceux qui, depuis les années 1930 au moins, ont brillamment dénoncé ± l{u2019}idole des origines {OCLCbr#BB}. Mais elles demeurent présentes dans le débat public, où la dangereuse notion d{u2019}± identité nationale {OCLCbr#BB} a conforté leurs positions. En rappelant l{u2019}histoire de ces théories et de leur réfutation, Sylvain Venayre propose une solution élégante et savante pour les en chasser. Car faire l{u2019}histoire d{u2019}un problème, c{u2019}est sans doute la meilleure manière de commencer à le résoudre."--Provided by publisher.

The objective of this book is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to answer the following questions: Why is it that most mainstream historiographies remain informed and determined by national/nationalist ideologies in some important aspects? Why do "national histories" seem to be so right and natural? Why is it that the substantial part of theorising about nationalism remains informed by objectivist concepts of the nation and what are the consequences of this? Secondly, considering the answers to the above questions, this book offers a possible alternative approach to the historical study of nationalism based on a re-evaluation of the epistemological foundations of traditional history, broadening its methodological corpus by incorporating analytical approaches used in the social sciences and by introducing the social psychological theory of social representations into the interpretations of historians ...

A sustained and systematic study of the construction, erosion and reconstruction of national histories across a wide variety of states is highly topical and extremely relevant in the context of the accelerating processes of Europeanization and globalization. However, as demonstrated in this volume, histories have not, of course, only been written by professional historians. Drawing on studies from a number of different European nation states, the contributors to this volume present a systematic exploration, of the representation of the national paradigm. In doing so, they contextualize the European experience in a more global framework by providing comparative perspectives on the national histories in the Far East and North America. As such, they expose the complex variables and diverse actors that lie behind the narration of a nation.
