Between 1870 and 1900 three commemorative events for Jules Michelet took place in France: his burial at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in 1876, the unveiling of his monument in 1882 and the national commemoration of his centenary in 1898. The republican historian was thus a major figure in Third Republic memory culture, while he was also considered one of its sources of inspiration. This article examines how throughout successive commemorations Michelet’s legacy was appropriated and popularized by the regime and how this resulted in what can be called a ‘banalizing of memory’. Furthermore, it argues that this banalizing process, despite criticism based on Michelet’s own work, was productive and led to an expansion of the public’s awareness of Michelet. Rather than being a sign of declining memory, banality in some contexts was the most viable option for realizing the aims of a commemoration.

纪念 Jules Michelet，1876、1882、1898：平庸的生产力

1870 年至 1900 年间，法国为儒勒·米歇莱举办了三场纪念活动：1876 年在拉雪兹神父公墓安葬他，1882 年为他的纪念碑揭幕，1898 年为他的百年诞辰全国纪念。因此，这位共和主义历史学家是一位重要人物在第三共和国记忆文化中，他也被认为是其灵感来源之一。本文考察了在连续的纪念活动中，米什莱的遗产如何被政权挪用和普及，以及这如何导致所谓的“记忆平庸化”。此外，它认为，尽管基于米歇尔自己的作品受到批评，这种平庸化的过程是富有成效的，并扩大了公众对米歇尔的认识。与其说是记忆力衰退的迹象，
