| Sumario: | Atlantic history represents an important field in North-American historiographical production, whereas it has marked Europe in a far lesser degree, and with a certain delay. In order to understand this phenomenon, the first part of this paper explores the participation of European historians at scientific events in the US which allegedly marks participants’ Atlanticist credentials. Secondly, it outlines the institutional panorama of education, research and scientific divulgation in Europe connected to Atlantic history: this panorama still appears as remarkably less structured, less visible and less coordinated than in the US. Finally, the paper presents the works and initiatives which have taken place in Europe within the past decade which explicitly refer to Atlantic History. Thus, the author shows that there is a growing interest in Europe since a few years for this historiographical approach. Europe wakes up late, but could benefit from the advantage of a late-comer in this field, provided European historians commit themselves to clearly define and clarify the explicit and implicit assumptions of Atlantic History, which partly explain the reluctance of European historians to address it. |
