Presentation

During the last thirty years, Public History has established itself as a discipline in its own right, simultaneously questioning the institutional historiographical practices, the epistemological and social status of the historian’s authority, and the role of people as potential history makers. Nowadays however, the original issues that were debated and led to the development of Public History have changed greatly, going beyond the initial framework that linked the production of scholarly knowledge and public knowledge. Since the 1990s, the outbreak of the “Memory Boom” on an international scale has broadened perspectives, as public requests for memoires have allowed access for new individuals, whilst also giving rise to new tensions, and even competitive “memory wars,” which show cleaved or antagonistic systems of Public History appropriation. Furthermore, the link between knowledge, power and democracy has become of unprecedented importance, and is now at the heart of the ongoing Public History debates. The acknowledgment of non-academic audiences as fully-fledged actors in the production of history represents a new horizon for citizen engagement, and opens up the possibility of a participatory approach to the practice of history, or even direct democracy. Public History practices can also be claimed as counter-history and alternative historical knowledge can appear as a counter-power.
