Deluermoz Quentin

Quentin Deluermoz is a Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Paris, where he serves as Director of ECHELLES. His research examines the social and cultural history of order and disorder in the 19th century across France, Europe, and colonial empires. This includes studies on revolutions (1848 and the Paris Commune), uniformed police, urban societies, and the nation-state, aiming to reinterpret 19th-century transformations through relational and interdisciplinary lenses (literature, sociology, anthropology). Current work focuses on political crises, shared history workshops, and global historical frameworks.

• Key Research Areas: Social orders and their contestation, European modernity, global history integration, temporalities in historical analysis, and sensibility studies.
• Publications: Authored books on the Paris Commune (2020), 1848-1871 revolutions (2014), and co-authored works like For a History of Possibilities (2016). Edited volumes include The Trials of the Civil War (2021) and A Global History of Revolutions (2023).
• Editorial Contributions: Founding member and editorial board member of the journal Sensibilités, History, Criticism and Social Sciences.

Quentin Deluermoz's methodological innovations emphasize collaborative history writing, theater-based interpretations, and cross-disciplinary frameworks to challenge traditional historical narratives.
