Descripción
Depuis les années 1950-1960 en France, depuis les années 1980 en Espagne et dans le monde anglo-saxon et depuis les années 2000 en Amérique latine, une historiographie scientifique spécialisée sur la franc-maçonnerie se développe. Cette jeune communauté scientifique a actuellement besoin d’un bilan historiographique critique. Ce bilan-perspective, nécessairement collectif, est indispensable pour orienter utilement la recherche future. Cet article s’inscrit dans cette dynamique. Prototype fondateur de l’opinion publique internationale (ou plutôt des espaces publics internationaux), les réseaux maçonniques remettent à une histoire globale, renvoyant non seulement à l’analyse des relations internationales contemporaines mais aussi à celle des opinions publiques et des sociétés civiles. Comment l'historiographie universitaire généraliste -et notamment l'histoire dite "globale"- traite-t-elle la question maçonnique ? Quelles sont les perspectives et les périodes privilégiées ? Premier d'une série destinée à évaluer la place de la question maçonnique dans l’historiographique universitaire généraliste, cet article se concentre sur certains ouvrages représentatifs de l’histoire "globale": l'histoire de l'opinion publique de Jürgen Habermas, la World History anglo-saxonne, la quadrilogie d’Eric J. Hobsbawm sur les XIX e et XX e siècles et l'histoire générale du XIX e siècle de Robert Schnerb.
Specialized Scientific historiography in Freemasonry is a recent development, starting in France in the 1950 and 1960’s, in Spain in the 80’s and in Latin America since 2000.This young scientific community currently needs a critical historiographical review. This movement is necessarily collective one and is essential in providing useful guidance for future researchers. This paper is part of this process. Since Freemasonry is the founding prototype of the international public opinion (or international public spaces), masonic networks rely on a global history, referring not only to the analysis of contemporary international relations but also to public opinion and civil society studies. How does general history academia –and, especially, “world history”- deal with the masonic question? What are their favorite perspectives and historical periods? The paper is the first in a series aimed at evaluating the position Freemasonry holds in general history, it focuses on some representative "world history” works: the History of Public Opinion by Jürgen Habermas, the English speaking World History, Eric J. Hobsbawm three volumes of the 19 th and 20 th Centuries and the General History of the Nineteenth Century by Robert Schnerb.
