This article proposes a dialogue with Wolf Feuerhahn’s reflections on researchers and the discourse of their objects, around temporalities, points of view, labels, and conceptual tools. However, it is the question of historicism that is at the heart of this text and of one of the many possible ways of understanding it: that of the effects of temporality on the way historians think about their objects. A double historicization thus emerges, of the researcher and of the objects, which, beyond the debate on the problem of “relativism,” raises the question of the accumulation of meanings that intermediate between observers and their objects of study. Can these successive views, at one end of which is the researcher and at the other the actor, be usefully studied in their oscillations on the basis of the labels that cover the objects and make them intelligible? Other questions open up here, on the basis of the almost unlimited possibilities of language: of its uses and translatability.
