couverture du livre Marc Bloch l'histoire en résistance (Seuil)
4e de couv
Esprit brillant, rénovateur de la science historique, fondateur, avec Lucien Febvre de la revue des Annales d’histoire économique et sociale (1929), fervent républicain d’origine juive alsacienne, athée et patriote, combattant des deux guerres mondiales, résistant, Marc Bloch est une figure majeure de l’intellectuel engagé, jusqu’au sacrifice de sa vie puisqu’il est brutalement assassiné par les nazis en 1944. Son entrée au Panthéon, le 23 juin 2026, offre l’occasion de montrer l’inextricable alliance savante, politique et morale qu’incarnent son parcours, ses travaux et sa vie posthume. Car l’histoire, en tant qu’approche intellectuelle, matière à réflexion personnelle et source d’engagement collectif, fut pour lui, sa vie durant, une forme de résistance.
Son héritage qu’analyse la génération actuelle des historiennes et historiens, et auquel elle rend hommage dans cet ouvrage collectif, nous rappelle plus largement que l’exigence de la vérité et le partage du savoir sont des combats essentiels et d’une impérieuse actualité.
Un livre collectif sur Marc Bloch, codirigé par Yann Potin et Florian Mazel. Fier et heureux d'y cosigner une petite contribution sur son rapport aux revues. Parution le 27 mars.

Book cover. Plain white background and in the blue color characteristic of the book's subject, it says "Melancholy Wedgwood Iris Moon."
I have been *waiting* since this past summer to rave about this book, which I read for the HBA Book Prize, so now that the announcement of the winners has gone out, I can tell everyone...go read Iris Moon's _Melancholy Wedgwood_! mitpress.mit.edu/978026254634...

Enjoy my story of an impossible encounter, where Aby Warburg and Shimomura Toratarō got off linear timelines. Where San Francisco became next-door to Yokohama. Where WWII Japan’s ‘overcoming modernity (近代の超克)’ reworked #Astrology in #EarlyModern Europe. #History #HistoryOfArt #HistSci #PhilHist 🗃️
