Scholarship

Born in 1973 in Paris, an alumnus of the École normale supérieure, he is professor of Contemporary History at the Sorbonne Paris North University, editorial director of the collection "La République des idées" (Éditions du Seuil),[2] and one of the editors of the online magazine La Vie des Idées.[3]

His scholarship encompasses abandoned children, the welfare state, gender violence, masculinity, and new forms of historical writing. He documented the fate of his grandparents, Jewish refugees from Poland in occupied France, eventually murdered in Auschwitz in 1943, in A History of the Grandparents I Never Had (Stanford UP, 2016).

He received the Prix Médicis in 2016 for Laëtitia ou la fin des hommes, « an openly feminist book » that tells the story of a young girl murdered at the age of 18,[4] [5]

His book History Is a Contemporary Literature (Cornell UP, 2018) offers perspectives on the writing of History, and the relationship between Literature and the social sciences. Jablonka argues that History, along with Sociology and Anthropology, can "achieve greater rigor and wider audiences by creating a literary text, written and experienced through a broad spectrum of narrative modes and rhetorical figures".[6] Conversely, a whole range of literary texts —travel logs, memoirs, autobiographies, testimonies, diaries, life stories, and news reports— can implement methods and lines of reasoning inspired by the social sciences.

His book A History of Masculinity: From Patriarchy to Gender Justice (Allen Lane, 2022) reimagines the cultures and norms that shape ideas of the “male self”. Arguing that “men are trapped in a gender prison”,[7] he offers a reflection on ancient and modern masculinities, gender justice, and a guide to being a ‘just man’ (un homme juste in French).[8]

Reception

He has given lectures all over the world, notably at the University of Geneva[9] and the University of Lausanne[10] in Switzerland, at the Free University of Berlin[11] in Germany, at the National University of General San Martín in Argentina,[12] at Nanzan University in Japan,[13] and in the US: at Yale University,[14] Boston University,[15] UC Berkeley,[16] Stanford University,[17] and Texas A&M.[18]

He was a visiting professor at New York University in 2020.[19] [20]

His books have been translated into fifteen languages.[21]
