Résumé

After 1945, Everyday Life became the object of a deep international historiographical renewal, reflection also of intense ideological confrontations and the field of strong divergent interpretations. This season of debates culminated in the 1980s, with both notables convergences between the various historiographical traditions, and important divergences. Everyday Life as a method in history does not necessarily come from the same point and go into the same direction according to these various traditions.
This is why the object of this introduction is both to look back at those debates in order to understand better those still open, or newly opened today, and to examine the impact of such debates, past and present, on Ottoman urban studies. We will start with a panorama of what the history of everyday life means in various historiographies and of the methodological, but also ideological backgrounds it implies. It is what we meant when we used the word stakes in our title: everyday life in history is in no way a neutral playground for the historian, and before we launch our collective explorations this year, it seemed adequate that we try and contribute to a deciphering of those complex stakes.
