Assessment subjects
Dear students,
These are times of great uncertainty. Classes will not resume after the Easter holidays, as we had originally envisaged. The learning arrangements we are putting in place obviously do not replace the traditional courses. They offer an alternative, without being able to fill the void in which we find ourselves. Some of you are no doubt experiencing difficulties in carrying out the research and work required of you. We have to adapt. The spirit that guides me, for the cultural history course, is one of lightness, while at the same time allowing each of you the opportunity for real reflection. The examination will take the form of a written test. At a date to be determined, I will submit about ten questions; I will ask you to answer three of them in writing, according to your choice, and to send me your copies by e-mail three days later. I will expect short answers (one page per question), in the form of an argument-a mini "dissertation"-which I will evaluate in terms of both content and form. It will be especially important for me to appreciate your thoughtfulness, rigour, relevance and creativity.
The subject matter of the course is clearly defined:
- The four face-to-face lessons.
- Vincent Azoulay's lecture (March 9)
- "Gaspard. Une écriture ouvrière au XIXe siècle"
- "La condition documentaire. Libres propositions pour une intelligence plurielle du document et de ses usages".
"Gaspard" and "La condition documentaire" are two texts that directly support the construction of the cultural history course. I hope that you will find their reading and critical examination interesting and stimulating.
I have posted today on My ULg the slideshow of the course and the article "The documentary condition". For those of you who couldn't get "Gaspard", I am making available a PDF file of the preprint version, which corresponds very closely to the printed version.
More than ever, history - its contents and, just as well, its methods - is becoming a necessity in order to give meaning to the world in which we live. Our reflections cannot fail to be constructed with the present, the anxiety that inhabits it, the questions it raises, the promises, perhaps, that it holds. May the exercise to which I invite you be useful to you. To write, to think, to explore, to question, to elaborate, to create: these are the instruments, modest and ambitious, that will enable us to remain on our feet.
To all of you, I wish the best.
