Résumé

L’article traite de la « new history » du conflit israélo-arabe, qui ne constitue plus une force révolutionnaire au sein de l’université et n’y représente plus qu’une petite portion du renouveau historiographique en ce qui concerne les quinze dernières années. Les arguments des historiens « révisionnistes » ont été intégrés à un degré ou à un autre au courant principal du consensus historiographique, et l’extrémisme en la matière s’est vu marginalisé. En même temps, l’intérêt académique a dépassé l’histoire politique et militaire d’Israël pour toucher aux questions de l’immigration de masse dans les toutes premières années, de l’impact de l’Holocauste et de ses survivants sur l’État, de la transformation de la communauté orthodoxe et ses relations avec la majorité laïque, ainsi que toute une variété de formes d’histoire économique, culturelle et du genre. Dans l’historiographie israélienne contemporaine, le révisionnisme affiché et conscient est pour finir moins signifiant que le caractère innovant de la recherche, accru.

Abstract

Abstract

This article contends that the “new history” of the Israeli-Arab conflict is no longer a revolutionary force in Israeli academia, and that it represents only a small portion of the historiographical innovation that has taken place within Israeli academia within the past fifteen years. To some degree, the arguments of revisionists historians have been incorporated into the mainstream historiographic consensus, while the more extreme arguments have been marginalized. At the same time, academic interest has expanded beyond Israel's military and political history to include the mass immigration of the state's early years, the impact of the Holocaust and of the Holocaust survivors on the state, transformation within the Orthodox community and its relations with the secular majority, and a variety of forms of economic, cultural, and gender history. In contemporary Israeli historiography, self-conscious Revisionism is ultimately less significant than incremental innovation as a force for the creation of knowledge.
