Description
Summary:The article shows the trajectory of a Tunisian historian confronted with a political revolution changing her professional practices after 2011. Faced with the competitive uses of memory and helped by the stimulations of the profession, the scholar engages with other ways of teaching and writing, more in touch with the facts and the surrounding debates. Without having experienced censorship before, she evolves more freely in the choice of objects of study, by placing them in the temporalities of the Tunisian history. Even if the university space remains confined, the author exploits the opportunities to open historical reasoning to the needs and questions of memory that emerge in the society.
