In this year 2020, two generalist magazines are celebrating their anniversary.
The 40th for the review
Le Débat
(Gallimard), by Pierre Nora and Marcel Gauchet, the 20th for the review
Cités
(PUF).
However, these two birthdays are marked by very different choices.
On the one hand, it was decided to close the review, on the other, on the contrary, to continue it in order to meet the immense challenges facing us.
Thus, the volume published on the occasion of the anniversary of
Cités
, “France in stories” (PUF), tries to take again fresh the question of the identity of France through the multiplicity of the stories of which it is the object at all levels from its lands, to its institutional and political dimensions, including intellectual life, language, the war of memories.
