Présentation du séminaire
« We are living in an era marked by profound uncertainty, shaped by rapid changes, global crises, and shifting social, political, and technological landscapes. The famous observation that the “future ain’t what it used to be” could not be more appropriate as we look at the acceleration of change taking place around the world. And this in a context of contested narratives and even, now, of narratives crafted by non-human agencies. Education is always essential to democratic citizenship, but in times of uncertainty, it becomes even more critical. In a world filled with alternative facts, propaganda stories, and deepfake technology, students must learn how to analyze, question, and evaluate competing narratives that vie for their allegiance. Questions of “narrative ethics” also arise – for example, through the question, ‘What kinds of stories should we tell and share?’ Can history education help us address these challenges? If yes, how? This seminar will take the form of a three-cornered conversation between three researchers interested in these questions. The speakers will explore the implications of the current uncertainties of our world for history education for using narrative as a critical lens and pedagogical tool to empower students to construct and deconstruct narratives and to nurture students’ narrative responsibility. »
