AB - Michel Vovelle, an eminent historian of French Revolution, passed away in October 2018. He started up as apprentice of social history under the direction of Ernest Labrousse. But after having witnessed the bankruptcy of social history in the middle of the 1960’s, he switched over to l’histoire des mentalités, to stand tall as an Ancien Régimeist through some excellent researches about dechristianization and death in the long-term historical perspective. In this regard, his appointment as successor to Albert Soboul was somewhat unexpected. However, he not only managed remarkably to steer the scientific mission of the commemoration of bicentenary of the French revolution, but also contributed successfully to renovation and enlargement of studies on French Revolution. It’s above all because on the one hand he expanded objects of historical research, on the other hand he had a totalizing prospect to bring together l’histoire des mentalités and social history, even further political history into an historical entity. It is La découverte de la politique(1993) that this aspect of his totalizing ambition was revealed vividly. This book pictured a dramatic scene that a modern political theory and praxis emerged at a short decade of revolution, showing many indices of political, social, demographic, economic, cultural, religious, geographic levels through more than 300 maps. And this discovery of ‘la politique’ on the spot of French revolution suggests to us extraordinary historical real instances and reflective momentum to understand the political accumulation and revolution as the irreversible historical event.
