Patrick Boucheron
Professor at the Collège de France
Patrick Boucheron has been a professor at the Collège de France, holding the Histoire des pouvoirs en Europe occidentale, XIIIe-XVIe siècle chair, since 2015.
He has formulated concepts such as political fictions and political experiences, around which he seeks to reconfigure a history of power since the Middle Ages. At the same time, he has been reflecting on the writing and epistemology of history, attempting to articulate literature and the social sciences on the basis of a number of collective projects as well as personal experiments. Author of numerous works, he has notably written Quand l’histoire fait dates. Dix manières de créer l’événement; La Trace et l’Aura. Vies posthumes d’Ambroise de Milan (IVe-XVIe siècles); and Prendre dates. Paris, January 6–January 14, 2015, with Mathieu Riboulet; Faire profession d’historien; and he edited Histoire du monde au XVe siècle in 2012 and Histoire mondiale de la France in 2018.
A member of the editorial board of L’Histoire magazine since 1999, the scientific council of the Rendez-vous de l’Histoire in Blois, and the scientific council of the Musée des civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée (Mucem, Marseille) since 2013, Boucheron was appointed chairman of the scientific committee in charge of redesigning the permanent gallery at the Musée national d’histoire de l’immigration in 2017.
