Presentation

How to write the history of a subject at once paradoxical and evasive, belonging as much to the history of mentalities as to social history, and which is at once a perceptible object and a human construct? With so many diverse and fragmentary sources, what dots can we join to write the history of night?

Distribution

With Alain Cabantous historian and author of Histoire de la nuit (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles) and Une histoire de la nuit est-elle possible ?

Hosted by Joseph Confavreux
