Content
The course in historiography presents the evolution of the historical discipline by focusing on the period of critical historiography from the 16th century to the end of the 19th century in a European and non-European perspective. The common thread is the historian's task: the relationship to the sources, beliefs, society, methods and forms of historical writing. The history of the historical discipline thus concerns institutions (such as archives and various places of historical production), major currents (universal history, scholarly history, humanism, romanticism, methodical history, etc.) and key historians by country.

Writing of a biobibliographic note (10% of the final grade), a glossary entry on Moodle (10%) and written exam (80% of the final grade). The examination questions are structured as follows: a cross-cutting question, two questions on periods of modern historiography, four specific questions (countries, historians, themes, methods), two correlation tables (historians/period, historians/works). These questions are selected from a large questionnaire that goes through the subject and is made available to students at the end of the term. In the event of failure, the student will represent the written exam.
