Abstract:

The following essay seeks to take historiographical stock of some of the shifting narratives around the 1871 Commune over the past 150 years: what are the implications of its recuperation into more or less official Republican historiography? Which narratives or stories about the event have faded from view and which readings seem to occupy our disciplinary foreground? Is there a historiographical consensus about what the Commune was (or seems to mean today)? And what, finally, might we say as historians about the conceptual and political resonances of the Paris Commune for contemporary struggles for democracy, equality, solidarity across class, race, gender, and geographical divides? Ultimately it is this very multiplexity at the heart of the Commune—the sheer range of dynamic questions it raises or names as a kind of "historical expression of possibility"—that is of such keen interest to us today.

摘要：

以下文章试图对过去150年来围绕1871年公社的一些变化的叙事进行历史学回顾：将其恢复为或多或少的正式共和党史学意味着什么？关于该事件的哪些叙述或故事从视野中消失了，哪些阅读似乎占据了我们的学科前景？关于什么，在史学上有共识吗公社是（或今天似乎意味着）？最后，作为历史学家，我们可以对巴黎公社在当代争取民主，平等，跨阶级团结，种族，性别和地理鸿沟的斗争中的概念和政治共鸣说些什么？最终，正是公社核心的这种多重性-它提出的一系列动态问题或将其称为“可能性的历史表达”-今天引起了我们的极大兴趣。
