Abstract

Cinema and history: the historiographic record, Rémy Pithon.

Historian's interest in film is not new. But not until the early 1970s did the topic "cinema and history" begin to be approached.

Despite the difficulties of a research field that was new methodologically as well as instrumentally, a great deal of work has been

done over the past 20 years. It fits into three basic categories : content studies focusing on openly propaganda or ideological

works or semiological studies deliberately ignoring context in favor of the "film as object"; studies that attempt to unveil underlying

but significant representation of the problems of a given period. After 25 years of research, the record is far from negative. In

spite of failures and dead-ends, each school has produced high quality research that has stimulated debate and deepened

hypotheses.
