Natalie Zemon Davis

Natalie Zemon Davis, professeur émérite de l'université de Princeton et de l'Université de Toronto (Canada), a également enseigné dans de nombreuses universités et écoles telles l'université d'York, l'EHESS, l'université Yale, l'université de Californie à Berkeley, l'université d'Oxford. Elle a présidé l'American Historical Association.

Après des études pionnières sur l'histoire populaire de la France du XVI^e siècle, avec des travaux sur la société lyonnaise, elle est devenue la protagoniste d'une forme originale de micro-histoire, en privilégiant l'analyse culturelle à partir de dossiers de cas exceptionnels, fournissant une documentation habituellement inaccessible. Depuis le retour de Martin Guerre soldat considéré comme mort par son village, jusqu'à Léon l'Africain, un voyageur musulman dans le monde chrétien de la Renaissance, elle a donné aux case studies une capacité à ouvrir des perspectives jusqu'alors difficiles d'accès.
