Transcription
Early life
Kalifa was born in Vichy and attended the local École normale supérieure at Saint-Cloud.
Under the supervision of Michelle Perrot, he undertook postgraduate research and received his doctorate in 1994.[2]
Career
Kalifa was professor at the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne and director of the Centre of 19th Century History,[3][4] and a member of the Institut universitaire de France. He also taught at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) from 2008 to 2015, and was several times visiting scholar at New York University,[5] Brigham Young University and the University of St Andrews.
A student of Michelle Perrot, he specialised in the history of crime, transgression, social control, and mass culture in 19th and early 20th century France and Europe.
From 1990, he was also columnist (historical reviews) for the French newspaper Libération. His study about the underworld and its role in the Western imagination is now translated into Portuguese (EDUSP), Spanish (Instituto Mora) and forthcoming in English (Columbia University Press).
His Véritable Histoire de la Belle Epoque, published in 2017, won the Eugène Colas Prize from the Académie française.
He also worked on a project about love, Paris and the topographical imagination. He has been described as a specialist in the bas fonds and social imagination.[6]

Immense tristesse. l'historien Dominique Kalifa n'est plus. Je n'évoquerai pas son oeuvre, on y reviendra beaucoup. Mais à l'Université aussi, dans la discrétion et la robustesse, il a fait tant avancer. Salut et merci, de très profond, Dominique, on n'oubliera rien de rien.[13]
'Immense sadness. The historian Dominique Kalifa is no more. I won't bring up his work, we'll all return to it many times. But at the University as well, in his discretion and his robustness, he had brought forth so many advances. So long and thank you, most deeply, Dominique, we'll forget nothing: nothing.'
