Abstract
This article presents a critique of mechanisms employed by conservative historiography. It is grounded in an analysis of selected discussions in the field of social history which focus on the last period of the Ancien Régime. Furthermore, the article presents a methodological and conceptual analysis of contemporary historical polemics. The aim is to transform problems that are typically considered as strictly historical into philosophical problems and to identify their political stakes. As a result, schemes implicit to conservative narration are sketched, and ideas for an interdisciplinary, emancipatory historiography are discussed. The envisioned perspective would simultaneously draw from the achievements of history from below, leftist macro-history and a philosophical critique of history.References
