A Review of Public in Public History, edited by Joanna Wojdon & Dorota Wiśnievska, London, Routledge, 2022

This very welcome collection of essays collected by Joanna Wojdon, an associate professor at the Institute of History of the University of Wrocław, and a research assistant, Dorota Wiśniewska, has been published in the Routledge Global studies on Public History series. They deal with the concept of “public” which characterizes Public History (from now on PH) as a sub-discipline inside history.

La rivista “Ricerche Storiche” e gli albori della public history in Italia

Da una decina d’anni ormai, «Ricerche Storiche» (d’ora in avanti RS) è diventata in Italia una delle riviste di storia più attenta agli sviluppi della Public History (d’ora in avanti PH). Quando questo interesse è nato e in quali circostanze? E, soprattutto, come rintracciare eventualmente forme ancora inconsapevoli di PH nei cinquant’anni di storia della rivista? La domanda non è banale e prima di cercare di rispondere in questo intervento, non ero affatto sicuro di trovare dei semi intellettuali e metodologici che avrebbero potuto fare pensare ad una filiazione naturale tra ieri ed oggi.

La Public History: innovazioni metodologiche e prospettive divulgative nella scienza storica. Una discussione nella rivista “Storia e Futuro”

Public History internazionale e uso-abuso della storia nei musei

This post is written in Italian and served as an introduction to the Memoria e Ricerca 2017 issue on History Museums and Public History. The papers we present were selected from panel presentations delivered during the International Federation for Public History (IFPH) 2ndinternational conference in Jinan, China in August 2015, which was part of the 22nd Conference of the International Committee for the Historical Sciences (ICHS).

A “Memoria e Ricerca” roundtable stresses absence of Public History in David Armitage & Jo Guldi “History Manifesto”

There is a widespread feeling that public funds and private sponsorship should be used for what –many people think– matters in society. Economists, for example, enjoy broad acceptance as public mediators and interpreters of our contemporary world. University programs in the Humanities, by contrast, are facing a worldwide crisis. In Japan departments are closing and this also means that the Humanities are facing an identity crisis. Such a crisis is acute in the USA where, in order to maintain university programmes, you have to provide an answer to the «What for?» question and prove immediate relevance for the job market and society at large.

Définir le champ de l’Histoire Publique Numérique, un atelier à THATCamp Paris 2015

Un atelier proposé pour THATCamp Paris a été voté par les participants à la “unconference” et s’est donc tenu le mercredi 10 Juin 2015 à 9 heures du matin. J’avais proposé -en mon nom et au nom de Mark Tebeau- l’atelier que Frédéric Clavert, un des organisateurs de THATcamp Paris, membre du THATCamp Council, a présenté en notre nom, mardi 9 juin au public quand, ni Mark ni moi n’étions encore à Paris. L’atelier portait sur la définition du champ de la Digital Public History (DPH) ou, en français, Histoire Publique Numérique.
