Sexual Violence Study of Archives and the Pratice of History. J.-C MARTIN. The systematic reading of the files constituted by the Vendean juge d'instruction (investigating judge) in the 19th century concerning vice cases (exhibitionism rape... ) serves as pretext for studying how historians use archives. These files reflect less particular social reality that merits being brought to light, than they bear witness to legal customs peculiar to the Vendean men and women the 19th century in their daily life, to actions by police and by priests, and to orientations put into effect by judges. The historian must respect the autonomy of individuals from the past, their sufferings, and he must understand the process by which new collective consciousness is founded by refusing the facility of manicheistic reading of the past. From this example, what is essential is to uncover and follow the progressive instrumentalization of the law by the Vendean women.
