Abstract
EnglishA Missed Opportunity?After describing our contemporary obsession with cultural heritage, the introduction to this issue highlights the political dimension of heritage, observing in particular the importance of the processes used to select, identify, standardize and communicate the elements that are ultimately recognized as legitimate components of a collective cultural heritage. Paradoxically enough, throughout the 20th century, historians have been largely absent from the dynamic processes used to determine establish heritage. We therefore take a look at this missed opportunity to better understand how historians were shut out of the discussion but also how other disciplines and professions have gradually inserted themselves into the highly political task of establishing heritage. francaisApres avoir fait le constat d’une intense fievre patrimoniale contemporaine, le texte introductif met l’accent sur la dimension politique de l’objet patrimoine, en soulignant notamment l’importance des processus de selection, de denomination, de normalisation et de transmission de ce qui est finalement reconnu comme patrimoine collectif legitime. Parmi les agents de cette chaine patrimoniale dynamique, les historiens ont ete paradoxalement assez peu presents tout au long du 20e siecle. Il s’agit alors d’interroger ce rendez-vous manque entre historiens et patrimoine, pour mieux comprendre l’histoire de cet evitement et celle aussi, en contrepoint, de l’insertion graduelle d’autres disciplines et d’autres professions dans la fabrication de cet objet eminemment politique qu’est le patrimoine.
