'Exhilarating . . . a work of scholarship, but also inspiration. . . Go and read Jablonka and change the world' Christina Patterson, Sunday Times'An unexpected bestseller in France. . . it has sparked conversations' ChallengesA highly acclaimed, bestselling work from one of France's preeminent historiansWhat does it mean to be a good man? To be a good father, or a good partner? A good brother, or a good friend?In this insightful analysis, social historian Ivan Jablonka offers a re-examination of the patriarchy and its impact on men. Ranging widely across cultures, from Mesopotamia to Confucianism to Christianity to the revolutions of the eighteenth century, Jablonka uncovers the origins of our patriarchal societies. He then offers an updated model of masculinity based on a theory of gender justice which aims for a redistribution of gender, just as social justice demands the redistribution of wealth.Arguing that it is high time for men to be as involved in gender justice as women, Jablonka shows that in order to build a more equal and respectful society, we must gain a deeper understanding of the structure of patriarchy - and reframe the conversation so that men define themselves by the rights of women. Widely acclaimed in France, this is an important work from a major thinker

L'essor renouvelé des luttes féministes depuis les années 2010 a engagé une profonde remise en cause de la condition des femmes, et soulevé en retour de nombreuses interrogations concernant le rôle et la place des hommes dans la société contemporaine.

Amid the current crisis in the humanities and the human sciences,
researchers should take up the challenge of writing more effectively. Rather
than clinging to forms inherited from the nineteenth century, they should
invent new ways to captivate readers, while also providing better demonstrations
of their research. Defining problems, drawing on a multitude of sources,
carrying out investigations, taking journeys in time and space: these methods
of inquiry are as much literary opportunities as cognitive tools. They invite
experimentation in writing across disciplines, trying out different lines of reasoning,
shuttling back and forth between past and present, describing the
process of discovery, and using the narrative "I." We can address the public
creatively, decompartmentalize disciplines, and encourage encounters between
history and literature, sociology and cinema, anthropology and graphic
novels—all without compromising intellectual rigor. Now more than ever,
the human sciences need to assert their place in the polis.

Résumé Retour sur expérience, cet article évoque les questions de méthode soulevées par mon essai de biographie familiale. L'enjeu est multiple : non seulement montrer que notre moi a une histoire et que son analyse contribue à la scientificité de la démarche, mais mobiliser, au sein du texte, un « je » de méthode ; admettre que l'écriture fait partie de l'enquête, sans quoi la production de connaissances reste incomplète ; enfin, sur les traces de Michel de Certeau, rappeler que l'historien fait dialoguer les morts et les vivants. Il s'agit, en un mot, d'être sensible à notre historicité. L'historien fait partie de l'histoire.
