La prochaine séance du cycle de conférences des AN « Retour aux sources » sera consacré  à l’écriture de l’histoire de l’environnement du XIIIe au XXe siècle.

2.      À vos poubelles citoyens ! Environnement urbain, salubrité publique et investissement civique (Paris, XVIe-XVIIIe siècle), par Nicolas Lyon-Caen et Raphaël Morera, décrit toujours à partir de l’exemple de Paris, la mise en place d’un service du public ou au public de la salubrité en réponse à la croissance démographique et à l’impérieuse nécessité du nettoiement des rues.

 

3.      Une histoire des luttes pour l’environnement, 18e-20e, trois siècles de débats et de combats, par Anne-Claude Ambroise-Rendu, Steve Hagimont, Claude-François Mathis et Alexis Vrignon, raconte  l’histoire de 100 luttes et les inscrit dans un temps long  tout en les reliant à une histoire plus immédiate et actuelle.
