Rethinking France
Focusing on the meaning of space for the French and the connection between the nation's history and its geography, this is the second volume in the translation of Nora's "Les Lieux de memoire". The essays gathered here cover essential approaches to French space: external and internal boundaries, the base unit of local space, and more.
Rethinking France
Les Lieux de mémoire is perhaps one of the most profound historical documents on the history and culture of the French nation. Assembled by Pierre Nora during the Mitterand years, this multivolume series has been hailed as "a magnificent achievement" (The New Republic) and "the grandest, most ambitious effort to dissect, interpret and celebrate the French fascination with their own past" (The Los Angeles Times). Written during a time when French national identity was undergoing a pivotal change and the nation was struggling to define itself, this unprecedented series consists of essays by prominent historians and cultural commentators which take, as their points of departure, a lieu de mém...
Realms of Memory: Conflicts and divisions
How do human societies leave their mark on the world so they are not forgotten? This is a collection of work by leading French intellectuals exploring the statutes, cathedrals, palaces, rituals, legends and events of history that form the architecture of the French collective consciousness.
Pierre Nora
De l'enfant juif traqué par la Gestapo jusqu'à l'académicien français, Pierre Nora a connu une extraordinaire trajectoire qui l'a propulsé sur le devant de la scène française et internationale. Universitaire, éditeur, écrivain, il a profondément marqué le paysage intellectuel, et même moral, des dernières décennies. Pilier de la maison Gallimard, il a inventé, avec des collections comme " Archives ", " Témoins ", la " Bibliothèque des sciences humaines " et la " Bibliothèque des histoires ", une autre façon de concevoir et d'écrire l'histoire, l'anthropologie, la sociologie. " Les Lieux de mémoire ", gigantesque chantier de sept volumes, sont passés dans le langage cour...

Realms of Memory
The third and final volume in Pierre Nora's award-winning (for Volume I) REALMS OF MEMORY, which includes groundbreaking discussions of France's past, powerfully demonstrates how a nation can both recover and rediscover its identity through remembrance, how rewriting history can forge new paradigms of cultural identity, and how meanings attached to an event can be as significant as the event itself. 146 illustrations.
Realms of Memory: Traditions
Offers the best essays from the acclaimed collection originally published in French. This monumental work examines how and why events and figures become a part of a people's collective memory, how rewriting history can forge new paradigms of cultural identity, and how the meaning attached to an event can become as significant as the event itself.
Postcolonial Realms of Memory
‘An elegant yet accessible work, Postcolonial Realms of Memory not only exposes the colonial blind spot that left Pierre Nora’s Lieux de mémoire incomplete, but begins the long task of remedying it. This is a crucial intervention that the field has required for some time.’ Gemma King, Contemporary French Civilization
Constructing the Past
This book presents a selection of ten significant contributions of essays to French historiography.
