Manifeste pour une pratique de l'histoire en classe d'histoire

In a recent work, L’histoire est une littérature contemporaine. Manifeste pour les sciences sociales, the historian Ivan Jablonka attempts to put into question and redefine the boundary between history and literature. Initially, history teachers might be startled and unwilling to give this text a fair reading. However, the main gist of the investigation and writing that shape his thinking not only corresponds to the aims and objectives of the PER but also could well back up many demands of those who consider the teaching of history largely undervalued in the allotted teaching time.
