• Sommario/riassunto: Les études d'histoire et d'autres sciences sociales (sociologie, philosophie) rassemblées dans ce volume couvrent des périodes et des domaines très différents. Elles se situent dans un mouvement récent de réinterrogation des pratiques à partir de la pragmatique et du pragmatisme. En assumant le pluralisme constitutif de la démarche pragmatiste, les auteurs abordent de manière expérimentale et réflexive les questions que posent l'étude des pratiques et celle des façons de les concevoir. Le volume propose un parcours allant des pratiques qui produisent les sources à la généalogie de la pensée de ; l'action, des formes de l'enquête dans des univers controversés aux réinterprétations des catégories sociales par les acteurs, des actes et des actions à des phénomènes historiques à grande échelle, sans oublier les pratiques du passé réactivées comme base de la recherche. Au-delà de leurs différentes logiques épistémiques, les contributions partagent une même préoccupation de fond: proposer des chemins d'enquête qui rompent avec les versions téléologiques ou préjugées de l'histoire. Elles explorent ce faisant des configurations qui n'enferment jamais complètement les acteurs, même lorsque ceux-ci opèrent dans des mondes très contraignants, qu'il s'agisse d'institutions et de normes, de structures et de groupes sociaux, de concepts temporels et de catégories cognitives. Le primat conféré à l'expérience et à son contexte ainsi que l'attention portée à leurs qualifications par les acteurs apparaissent comme des éléments communs aux différentes formes d'histoire pragmatique.

• Sommario/riassunto: The topic of personal identity has prompted some of the liveliest and most interesting debates in recent philosophy. In a fascinating new contribution to the discussion, Peter Unger presents a psychologically aimed, but physically based, account of our identity over time. While supporting theaccount, he explains why many influential contemporary philosophers have underrated the importance of physical continuity to our survival, casting a new light on the work of Lewis, Nagel, Nozick, Parfit, Perry, Shoemaker, and others. Deriving from his discussion of our identity itself, Ungerproduces a nov
