En juillet 1939 fut célébré à Paris le jubilé de la psychologie scientifique française dont le grand ordonnateur fut le psychologue Henri Piéron. L’article retrace l’organisation de cette cérémonie dans un contexte très particulier, un moment de grandes tensions internationales et de menaces de guerre imminente. En s’appuyant sur la publication qui s’ensuivit, il revient sur ce qui était célébré, la manière dont la commémoration se déroula et les enjeux de politique de la science qui la sous-tendaient.Cet évènement, qu’on peut considérer comme un relatif échec au regard des ambitions de son organisateur, peut ainsi être lu comme le moment inaugural d’une entreprise de patrimonialisation de la psychologie scientifique française dont Piéron se fit le héraut. The jubilee of French scientific psychology, organised by its foremost advocate, the psychologist Henri Piéron, was celebrated in July 1939. This article reconstructs the ceremony's organisation, in its singular context of mounting international tension and imminent war. Drawing on the resulting publication, it addresses what was commemorated, how the ceremony unfolded, and the politics of science that subtended it. The event, which was something of a failure in the light of Piéron's ambitions for it, can be read as an inaugural moment in the conversion of Piéron's French scientific psychology into national heritage.
