  • Transfer of Ideas and Exile Sociability in Paris, 1830–1848

    Open AccessCamille CreyghtonARTICLEJournal of Modern European History2024

    In the 1830s and the 1840s, Paris was a gathering place for numerous political exiles from different nationalities, including Germans, Italians and Poles. The French capital offered them the opportunity to publish, debate and transnationally exchange ideas with one another in ways that were impossible in their home countries. This article develops a research perspective on these exiles that connects intellectual history with urban history and mig…

    Open AccessCamille CreyghtonARTICLEFrench History2019

    Between 1870 and 1900 three commemorative events for Jules Michelet took place in France: his burial at the Père Lachaise cemetery in 1876, the unveiling of his monument in 1882 and the national commemoration of his centenary in 1898.

  • Virtue language in historical scholarship

    Open AccessCamille Creyghton, Pieter Huistra et al.ARTICLEHistory of European Ideas2016Cited by: 3

  • Writing History in the Third Republic

    Camille CreyghtonARTICLEFrench History2013

    With Writing History in the Third Republic Isabel Noronha-DiVanna aims to fill in an significant gap in the study of French historiography. According to DiVanna herself she is one of the first scholars to research extensively the historians of the second half of the nineteenth century. Indeed, these historians—commonly referred to as ‘positivists’ or by the French designation ‘méthodiques’—are usually considered too ‘boring’ to study, as DiVanna …

  • « Histoire, mémoire de l’humanité ». L’influence de Bergson sur la conception de l’histoire et celle de la mémoire de Charles Péguy

    Open AccessCamille CreyghtonARTICLEL Atelier du CRH2011

    Cet article montre comment Charles Péguy dans son premier texte sur l’histoire, le Compte-rendu de congrès de 1901, essaie de surmonter l’opposition classique en historiographie de la mémoire à l’histoire. Il apparaîtra que la réflexion de Péguy sur l’histoire et sur la mémoire est très influencée par la philosophie du temps et de la mémoire de Bergson. Ainsi, Péguy donne-t-il une réponse originale et fondée sur la philosophie à une question qui …
