This chapter talks about establishing a more balanced relationship with the public, without denying the specific knowledge that such a public brings with it. By using such an approach, the counterfactual becomes a space for sharing considerations, understanding, and emotions and for developing a greater mastery of the issues involved in historical reasoning and its impact. It highlights the possibility of talking together about knowledge, fantasies, accepted ideas, personal and family histories, political positions, beliefs, or utopias and how they relate to history. The chapter explains how risks and benefits go hand in hand as the historian's word becomes more fragile, but it is also more welcoming and open. It mentions the forum “Remaking Society” in Grenoble, France in 2011, which was aimed to provide the participants with insights and develop their own alternative stories. |
