History as a Kind of Writing
Author: Philippe Carrard
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022642796X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
In academia, the traditional role of the humanities is being questioned by the “posts”—postmodernism, poststructuralism, and postfeminism—which means that the project of writing history only grows more complex. In History as a Kind of Writing, scholar of French literature and culture Philippe Carrard speaks to this complexity by focusing the lens on the current state of French historiography. Carrard’s work here is expansive—examining the conventions historians draw on to produce their texts and casting light on views put forward by literary theorists, theorists of history, and historians themselves. Ranging from discussions of lengthy dissertations on 1960s social and economic history to a more contemporary focus on events, actors, memory, and culture, the book digs deep into the how of history. How do historians arrange their data into narratives? What strategies do they employ to justify the validity of their descriptions? Are actors given their own voice? Along the way, Carrard also readdresses questions fundamental to the field, including its necessary membership in the narrative genre, the presumed objectivity of historiographic writing, and the place of history as a science, distinct from the natural and theoretical sciences.

French Historical Method
Author: Traian Stoianovich
Publisher: Ithaca, N.Y. : Cornell University Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The famed Annales "school" has had a formidable and enduring influence upon the historians of the Western world. This book is both a history of the school and an analysis of its entire network of historical and methodological conceptions. The school derived its name from a distinguished French journal founded in 1929 by Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch. Mr. Stoianovich traces the ideas of its founders, of their successors, and of the historians who were inspired by their methods. The Annales school's view of history is uniquely its own, and Stoianovich's concise and challenging account of the development and ramifications of that view is a valuable contribution to the history of ideas. In a revealing Foreword, written with brilliance and exceptional grace, Fernand Braudel engages the author in friendly debate over the evolution of the Annales model of history. While they may differ on nuances, Braudel and Stoianovich agree that whatever direction historical scholarship may take in France, scholars throughout the world will continue to make use of the flexible, open-ended historiographical tool that the Annales model provides. - Jacket flap.

Contribution to the Correction of the Public's Judgments on the French Revolution
Author: J. G. Fichte
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438482183
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
The reception history of the French Revolution in France and England is well documented among Anglophone scholars; however, the debate over the Revolution in Germany is much less well known. Fichte's Contribution played an important role in this debate. Presented here for the first time in English, Fichte's work provides a distinctive synthesis of Locke's "possessive individualism," Rousseau's general will, and Kant's moral philosophy. This eclectic blend results in an unusual rights theory that at times veers close to a form of anarchism. Written in 1792–93, just before Fichte moved to Jena to develop his philosophical system in a series of works—above all the Wissenschaftslehre of 1794—the Contribution provides invaluable insight into Fichte's early development. In addition, Fichte's work predates much of Kant's political philosophy, and can shed light on the rich dialogue in German political thought in the 1790s.
