Title:
Clio: Has History in the West become a place of memory?  

Date: Thursday, May 23, 2019. 3 pm
Venue: Room 703, Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, Taipei

Abstract:
Is History a Western place of memory?
It is an iconoclastic question, which, still in the 1970s, would have
surprised, or even shocked, historians. In the best case scenario, they
would not have grasped the meaning of the question. Because it was
understood that, on one side, there was memory, and, on the other, there
was history, their domain, which began where memory left off. Since
then, great upheavals, marked by the irresistible rise of memory in
Europe and beyond. But the memorial wave have also led to an
interrogation of History both as a discipline and as a dominant belief
of the modern world—a world which, I hasten to add, is no longer our
own. So we must ask if History, which has accompanied this modern world
and which has managed to tell it and give it meaning, can also continue
to be our own?
