The genesis of mainstream historiography of Yugoslavia in France: "Media intellectuals" at war in the 90's
. Za znanost zgodovine ta ne pomeni le preteklosti, temveč tudi in predvsem sedanjost – sedanjost, ki jo razumemo kot množico procesov in bojev v danem (preteklem ali sedanjem) trenutku. Historični materializem tako prinaša dokumente, poročila, analize in druge tekste, ki na različne načine pišejo materialistično zgodovino.
The armed conflicts that begun with the dismembering of socialist Yugoslavia gave rise to many reactions and mobilizations amongst French intellectuals all through the 1990's.
Despite the diversity of viewpoints, the public expression on Yugoslav issues was monopolized by a group of "media intellectuals", composed of journalists, political essayists, moralists, the most active being philosophers belonging to the self-proclaimed or media-defined group of »New Philosophers«. At the same time, experts and specialists on Yugoslavia (historians, economists, etc) were marginalized, or sometimes even excluded from the public debate.
