“…Issus d’une réflexion collective, pluridisciplinaire et inscrite dans la longue durée portée par des enseignants-chercheurs et de jeunes docteurs ayant côtoyé ou partagé de près les recherches du professeur Jean-Marie Guillon, les textes rassemblés dans cet ouvrage sont centrés sur la question de l’engagement des acteurs, que ce soit à l’échelle de la micro-histoire ou à un niveau plus global. À partir de problématiques relevant des champs respectifs de l’histoire politique, sociale et économique – terrains renouvelés par les approches de l’histoire culturelle –, l’acte d’engagement individuel ou collectif est interrogé à la lumière de moments exceptionnels censés faire appel à des gestes qui le sont tout autant, ou à des usages mémoriels particuliers et souvent instrumentalisés au profit de toutes sortes d’objectifs. …”
