Pour une histoire des possibles: analyses contrefactuelles et futurs non advenus by Quentin Deluermoz and Pierre Singaravélou
From the end of the last century to the beginning of this one, the events of the last thirty years have challenged many of our certainties about the inevitability of history and the way it unfolds. The book brings to the fore a long-standing tradition in Anglo-Saxon countries, in which Churchill himself made a name for himself, Pour une histoire des possibles offers its curious reader a fascinating, exhaustive and rigorous intellectual journey that touches on both fiction (uchrony) and historical science, and even the human sciences as a whole. From the theoretical section to the many examples and case studies scattered throughout the book, let yourself be carried away by this original approach to history, which will open up (almost) infinite horizons, as the authors themselves put it.
