What interpretation(s) do today’s historians make of
electrification? Electrification is a process which began almost a
hundred and fifty years ago but which more than one billion men and
women still do not have access to. This book displays the social
diversity of the electric worlds and of the approaches to their
history. It updates the historical knowledge and shows the renewal of
the historiography in both its themes and its approaches. Four
questions about the passage to the electrical age are raised: which
innovations or combination of innovations made this passage a reality?
According to which networks and appropriation? Evolving thanks to
which tensions and alliances? And resulting in which transition and
accumulation? Quel(s) regard(s) les historiens d’aujourd’hui
portent-ils sur l’électrification, processus engagé il y a près
de cent cinquante ans mais auquel plus d’un milliard d’hommes et
de femmes restent encore étrangers ? Le présent volume rend compte
de la diversité des mondes sociaux électriques et des manières
d’enquêter sur leur histoire. Il actualise les connaissances et
témoigne du renouvellement de l’historiographie, dans ses objets et
ses approches. Quatre points d’interrogation sur le basculement des
sociétés dans l’âge électrique jalonnent le volume : moyennant
quelles créations ou combinaisons créatrices ? En vertu de quelles
circulations et appropriations ? Selon quelles tensions et alliances ?
Et produisant quelles transitions et accumulations ?
