Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume, which gathers contributions presented at the annual conferences of l'Association pour le developpement de l'histoire culturelle (ADHC), questions the subjects and boundaries of cultural history in France - with regard to neighboring approaches such as cultural studies, media studies, and gender studies - to elaborate a "social history of representations." Historians, philosophers and sociologists address a large variety of topics and methodological proposals. Definitions, objects and actors, memories and cultural transfers: this book depicts the major questions that underlie the historical debate at the beginning of the 21st century.
