Pierre Nora on the New History and its new objects

Pierre Nora on the New History and its new objects

Gilles LAPOUGE questions Pierre NORA about the three volumes of a collective work published under the direction of Pierre NORA and Jacques LE GOFF entitled "Faire de l'histoire": Nouveaux problèmes, Nouvelles approches, Nouveaux objets" at NRF editions. Pierre NORA presents the theme of these works and the situation of the so-called "new" history. In the first volume, "new problems" called into question the story itself; in the second volume "new approaches" have enriched and modified the traditional sectors of history by the contribution of ancillary sciences such as the history of science, politics and finally in the third volume "new objects", a sampling of objects, have appeared in the fields of history research such as myth, cooking, body, opinion polls or cinematic image.
