Goals

Gathering data on the historiography of the discipline: contexts of its emergence and development in the 19th and 20th centuries, its known or lesser known actors, its institutions, its tools of dissemination and legitimation, its research themes, its methods, as well as its ideological uses.

Taking a critical and analytical look at this data: explore the issues specific to the discipline, question the practices and professional habits and question its purposes.

Shape a professional community by bringing together researchers across disciplines and initiating synergies with the greatest number of Belgian and foreign institutions and research centers.
