La palette multicolore de Daniel Roche
In January and February 2025, on the occasion of Clio’s 30th anniversary, we circulated a questionnaire among the journal’s readers. Our aim was to understand the profiles, practices and reading habits of those who read Clio. This collectively written paper, by authors of various generations, offers an initial reading and interpretation of the results of the questionnaire, allowing us to grasp the issues surrounding the evolution and the future o…
A Pour Terreau Une Haine Collective Du Gouvernement
Según el estado actual de los conocimientos y un relativo consenso internacional, la identificación del alto potencial intelectual requiere una evaluación psicológica y una prueba homologada de inteligencia que conduzca a una puntuación general del Cociente Intelectual (CI) igual o superior a 130, lo que corresponde al 2,3 por ciento de la población. Esto concierne a cerca de 370 000 jóvenes menores de 20 años en Francia. Principalmente realizado…
Chanson et communication orale à Paris au milieu du XVIIIe siècle
Dans les années 2010, Robert Darnton, spécialiste de l’histoire culturelle de l’Europe moderne et de l’histoire des livres au xviiie siècle, et Hélène Delavault, chanteuse lyrique et de cabaret, se sont associés autour d’un projet de livre consacré à l’Affaire des Quatorze (Paris, éditions Gallimard, 2014). En suivant l’enquête menée par la police parisienne qui a arrêté quatorze personnes pour déterminer la provenance d’une ode portant atteinte …
Patrick Boucheron, Nicolas Delalande, Florian Mazel, Yann Potin, Pierre Singaravélou (dir.), Histoire mondiale de la France
Je vous remercie cordialement de cette invitation à rendre compte de l’Histoire mondiale de la France. Certes, elle m’honore mais aussi elle m’intimide, car il s’agit d’un livre de 800 pages, divisé en 146 chapitres écrits par 122 auteurs, un livre qui survole 40 000 ans et qui évoque des personnages innombrables, de l’homme de Cro-Magnon à Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Comment cerner un ouvrage pareil ? Je l’ai lu d’un bout à l’autre, mais cela était …

La democratización del libro
En esta nota, Robert Darnton, renombrado historiador cultural y del libro, comparte unas reflexiones en torno a esta invención y el devenir histórico de su circulación comercial. Comentando la piratería de libros de los siglos XVII y XVIII y los intentos contemporáneos de plataformas como Google de crear repositorios virtuales, Darnton pone en debate la tensión que existe entre los derechos de autor y la democratización de la lectura a través de …
Francia, se te escapa el café
Este artigo examina a transição da história do livro para a história da comunicação no contexto da Revolução Francesa. Questionando as abordagens tradicionais que focam em transformações sociais ou análises filosóficas das ideologias, Darnton argumenta que esses métodos não explicam completamente a singularidade do caso francês. Ele propõe considerar os modos de comunicação, especificamente o impacto da comunicação impressa, que se expandiu signi…

Apologie du livre. Demain, aujourd’hui, hier
Les grands éditeurs ont tant augmenté les tarifs des revues périodiques, en particulier dans les sciences naturelles, qu’ils ont fait des ravages dans les budgets des bibliothèques de recherche. Afin de maintenir leurs collections de périodiques, celles-ci ont réduit de façon drastique leurs achats de monographies. Confrontées au déclin des commandes des bibliothèques, les presses universitaires ont quasiment cessé de publier dans les secteurs le…
Bohème littéraire et Révolution
La place des philosophes du XVIIIe siècle dans la préparation de la Révolution française a fait l'objet de controverses passionnées. Mais les historiens ne s'étaient guère, jusqu'à Robert Darnton, penchés sur le rôle des écrivains de second ordre – qu'ils tirent à Paris le diable par la queue en fabriquant une littérature pornographique et politique ou qu'ils se soient exilés à Londres, voire ailleurs, pour éviter l'embastillement. Ces ratés de l…
Bohème littéraire et révolution
Cette étude se penche sur la place des écrivains de second ordre dans la préparation de la Révolution française. Le paysage des Lumières, vu des boutiques de libraires ou des officines de la police, à la croisée entre histoire de l'édition et sociologie des auteurs et du public, pose en termes novateurs la question de la lecture et de la vie intellectuelle au XVIIIe siècle

Wissenskultur Tanz
Tanz als eigene Wissenskultur zu begreifen, ist nicht selbstverständlich. Doch steht außer Frage, dass dem Tanzen Wissensformen zukommen, die aus Praxeologien und Theoriebildungen hervorgehen. Aber bildet die Tanzkunst auch eine Wissenskultur? Worin bestünde sie und welche Erkenntnisziele und Erfahrungswerte sind am Werk? Vor diesem Fragehorizont greift der Sammelband in bestehende Diskussionen ein, um aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive das inter…
Proceedings of the British Academy, Volume 151, 2006 Lectures
This series features distinguished works in the humanities and social sciences. This volume of the Proceedings of the British Academy contains fifteen lectures delivered at the British Academy in 2006. Subjects covered range from consideration of Einstein, to discussions of coercion and consent in Nazi Germany, and judicial independence.
The Business of Enlightenment
Darnton explores some fascinating territory in the genre of histoire du livre and tracks the diffusion of Enlightenment ideas. He is concerned with the form of the thought of the great philosophes as it materialized into books and with the way books were made and distributed in the business of publishing
In Search of the Enlightenment
What Is the History of Books?” Revisited
Having accepted the invitation to revisit my essay of 1982, “What Is the History of Books?”, I find that I can do it only in the first person singular and therefore must ask to be excused for indulging in some autobiographical detail. I would also like to make a disclaimer: in proposing a model for studying the history of books twenty-four years ago, I did not mean to tell book historians how they ought to do their jobs. I hoped that the model mi…
Literary Surveillance in the British Raj

First Steps Toward a History of Reading
Preface (2014) by Robert DarntonThe First toward a history of that I described in AJFS twenty-eight years ago have now turned into something of a stampede. They lead in many directions-so many that I cannot map them here. The excellent anthology edited by Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, A History of Reading in the West (English edition, Polity Press, 1999) surveys much of the ground covered by the end of the century. But the twentieth centu…

Discourse and Diffusion
The article critically explores the different paths chosen by closely related historical disciplines: intellectual history and the history of books. While the former has focused on discourse analysis, the latter has given more attention to the study of diffusion. Historians who study the diffusion of books commonly run into a difficulty: the best-sellers of the past may serve as an indicator of public taste, but they may also be trivial, and they…

Mademoiselle Bonafon and the Private Life of Louis XV
In 1745 a chambermaid in Versailles was shut up in the Bastille for publishing a roman à clef about the sex life of Louis XV. In attempting to get to the bottom of the case, the police uncovered some remarkable information about how oral media and print culture intersected. Their investigation opens up some broad issues related to the history of women, authorship, reading, and public opinion
How historians play God
This essay recounts the career of Jacques-Pierre Brissot, the leader of the Girondists during the French Revolution, in a manner designed to pose questions about the nature of historical research in general. How, in piecing together information taken from scraps of paper, do historians come to an understanding of other lives? Put in the abstract, the problem belongs to epistemology or ethics. Confronted in practice, it is more like the puzzles un…

Vies privées et affaires publiques sous l'Ancien Régime
Parmi les plus grands succès de la littérature clandestine de l’Ancien Régime, on compte bon nombre de « libelles » et de « chroniques scandaleuses », c’est-à-dire d’ouvrages populaires traitant des affaires publiques à la lumière de la vie privée des principaux personnages du royaume, à commencer par le roi lui-même. D’où provient cette littérature ? Comment a-t-elle vu le jour ? Quel écho trouve-t-elle auprès du public à la veille de la Révolut…

La France, ton café fout le camp
From the History of the Book to the History of Communication When, following Mornet, one tries to understand the ori-gins of the French Revolution, and in particular the role of the « Enlightenment », the two major approaches that emerged more than twenty-five years ago, one working through social history and the other through the philo-sophical analysis of ideologies, do not provide entirely satisfactory answers to the problem. Social transforma…

Sounding the Literary Market in Prerevolutionary France
IF INTELLECTUAL AND SOCIAL HISTORY ever combine in an attack on a common problem, they could not find a better subject than the literary marketplace of the Old Regime. By 1750 a grand public was clamoring for books in France, and printers were producing more of them than ever. But how did supply meet demand? In an era of elaborate censorship and underdeveloped marketing, publishers had to find ways not only to get books to their customers but als…

In Memoriam
Like most of the readers of this journal, I study French history at a distance, separatedfrom my subject by aforeign language, two centuries, and three thousand miles of ocean. Last year, however, I received a letter that made me see French history from a different perspective. It came from a retired civil servant, Francois Carlotti. He had stumbled upon something I had written; and as I seemed to be interested in his country, he thought I might …
