    Imaginaires des bibliothĂšques : la sollicitation Ă  laquelle ont rĂ©pondu spontanĂ©ment et gĂ©nĂ©reusement Annette Wieviorka et Christian Jacob avait pour objet le lien que les chercheurs ont avec les bibliothĂšques. Annette Wieviorka a choisi de traiter des bibliothĂšques des hommes politiques, et, particuliĂšrement, de celle de Maurice Thorez et de Jeannette Thorez-Veermeersch. Christian Jacob s’est attelĂ© Ă  un exercice quasi oulipien : un abĂ©cĂ©daire des bibliothĂšques : incomplet, forcĂ©ment incomplet. Les deux textes prĂ©sentĂ©s ici se renvoient l’un l’autre, comme en miroir : l’abĂ©cĂ©daire pourrait ĂȘtre une sorte de viatique pour tout ĂȘtre douĂ© de raison, et l’histoire de ces bibliothĂšques si particuliĂšres pourrait faire l’objet d’une sĂ©rie d’entrĂ©es presque Ă  l’infini

    À propos des femmes dans les procùs du nazisme

    Les femmes ont-elles Ă©tĂ© jugĂ©es pour des crimes perpĂ©trĂ©s pendant la pĂ©riode nazie ? Pour tenter de rĂ©pondre Ă  cette question, il convient de faire la distinction entre les procĂšs qui se sont dĂ©roulĂ©s trĂšs vite aprĂšs la capitulation allemande, dans les diverses zones d’occupation et ceux qui se font Ă  Nuremberg, selon un nouveau droit international. Les seconds visent des criminels ayant un degrĂ© de responsabilitĂ© dans les divers appareils de l’État nazi, responsabilitĂ© alors interdite aux femmes. Les premiers, qui se font selon le droit dĂ©jĂ  Ă©tabli, concernent ceux qui ont commis de leurs propres mains des violences meurtriĂšres. On apprendra donc par cet article que de trĂšs jeunes femmes furent condamnĂ©es Ă  mort et exĂ©cutĂ©es pour les crimes qu’elles ont commis dans les camps.Were women judged for crimes committed during the Nazi period ? To attempt an answer to that question, one must make a distinction between the trials taking place immediately after the German capitulation in the different occupied zones, and those that were subsequently held in Nuremberg under new international law. The second set of trials concerned criminals holding responsibilities in the various organizations of the Nazi state : such responsibilities were not open to women. The earlier trials were held on the basis of existing laws, and concerned those who had personally, and with their own hands, perpetrated crimes. Analysis of these initial trials reveal that very young women were condemned to death and hanged for crimes committed in the concentration camps

    L’historien au risque de l’engagement

    Dans un entretien avec BĂ©atrice Fleury-Vilatte et Jacques Walter, l’historienne Annette Wieviorka approche l’engagement Ă  partir d’un itinĂ©raire personnel, marquĂ© par les travaux qu’elle a menĂ©s sur la shoah. Elle revient sur les ouvrages, les controverses, les causes qui caractĂ©risent ce parcours et note l’importance qu’y occupe la prĂ©sence du chercheur dans les mĂ©dias. Ainsi, ne dissocie-t-elle pas dĂ©marche scientifique et vulgarisation, engagement personnel et engagement public.In a discussion with BĂ©atrice Fleury-Vilatte and Jacques Walter, the historian Annette Wieviorka argues about engagement starting from her own itinerary related to her work on the shoah. She comes back to the books, controversies and reasons related to her onward and the importance of the presence of the researcher in the media. This way, she does not dissociate scientific inquiry and popularization, personal and public engagement

    ÉlĂ©ments pour une histoire de la Mission MattĂ©oli

    Le 25 mars 1997, le Premier ministre d’alors, Alain JuppĂ©, chargeait par arrĂȘtĂ© Jean MattĂ©oli d’une « mission d’étude sur les conditions dans lesquelles des biens immobiliers et mobiliers appartenant aux juifs rĂ©sidant en France ont Ă©tĂ© confisquĂ©s, ou, d’une maniĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rale, acquis par fraude, violence ou dol, tant par l’occupant que par les autoritĂ©s de Vichy entre 1940 et 1944. Dans le cadre de cette mission, il recherchera la destination que ces biens ont reçue depuis la fin de la guerre ..

    Constructing Memory through Television in Argentina

    Get PDF
    La televisiĂłn representa el pasado reciente de la Argentina a travĂ©s de vĂ­nculos especĂ­ficos con la memoria social: como un “emprendedor de la memoria” definiendo las agendas pĂșblicas, como un vehĂ­culo de transmisiĂłn intergeneracional sobre el pasado y como un creador de significados por medio de imĂĄgenes, sonidos y palabras, esto es, un “escenario para la memoria”. Un anĂĄlisis de los vĂ­nculos entre televisiĂłn y memorias, construido alrededor de la desapariciĂłn forzada de personas durante la dictadura militar de 1976 a 1983, revela la manera compleja en la cual los obstĂĄculos para relatar ese periodo trĂĄgico se combinan con el intento de vender un producto y entretener al espectador.Television represents Argentina’s recent past through three specific links with social memory: as an “entrepreneur of memory,” shaping public agendas, as a vehicle of intergenerational transmission of past events, and as a creator of meaning through images, sounds, and words, a “stage for memory”. An analysis in terms of the links between television and the memories constructed around the forced disappearance of persons during the 1976–1983 military dictatorship reveals the complex way in which the obstacles when narrating an extreme experience are combined with the attempt to sell a product and entertain the spectator.Fil: Feld, Claudia Viviana.

    "To Tell the Story": Cultural Trauma and Holocaust Metanarrative

    Get PDF
    This article explores the aporia between the alleged inexplicability of the Holocaust and the wealth of narrative that has proceeded from the event in the years since 1945, proposing the existence of a generic Holocaust metanarrative that has been adopted and inscribed into Western cultural memory as the accepted framework for interpretation. Taking as a starting point the idea that culture itself has been somehow ‘ruptured’ in the wake of the Holocaust, this article explores the ways in which this rupture manifests itself, viewing the shattering impact of the Holocaust on the Western cultural imagination as macrocosmically comparable to the impact of psychic trauma on the individual survivor of the Holocaust. Just as an individual act of narration (the act of testimony) is believed to provide a cure for trauma, so a collective act of narration may hold the key to repairing the post-Holocaust cultural rupture. During the exploration of this process, it becomes apparent that cultural memory of the Holocaust is in fact informed by a metanarrative account that appears to offer the possibility of an engagement with the Holocaust, but which in fact acts as a screen between the event itself and the culture that would seek to memorialize it. Finally, this article explores the notion that the most appropriate narrative response is one that accepts the impossibility of its own position, rejecting the easy redemption offered by the assimilation of Holocaust metanarrative and instead inhabiting the dialectic between knowing and understanding that the Holocaust presents
