Anne Viguier, Associate professor, Inalco and CESSMA (Paris). She is a historian specialising in Modern India's history (18th -20th Centuries). She initially studied the urban history of Tamil Nadu (South India) during the colonial period. Then, she moved to cultural history and worked on constructing identities in South India through the use of the past, the writing of history and the making of boundaries. Her new research aims to understand the rise of regional nationalism in India and to what extent Indian federalism has been a response to it between 1919 and 1956. She is the author of Brève histoire de l'Inde (Flammarion, 2023) and is the co-founder of a considerable editorial project in 3 volumes on non-western Historiography, which published the Encyclopaedia of Historiography, Africa, America and Asia, Paris, vol 1, Presses de l'Inalco, 2020, 2000 p. (https://books.openedition.org/pressesinalco/21819?lang=fr.)- the manuscript of the volume 2 is ready; She is also the co-editor of Territoires, textes et savoirs en pays tamoul, Paris (Bulletin des Etudes indiennes, 2021); (Ré)appropriations des savoirs.
