Book Annales Historiography and Theory

Download or read book Annales Historiography and Theory written by and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1984 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps this century's most innovative and influential school of historical thought, Annales has grown from a primarily French school to one of international dimensions; yet it is not well defined for historians in English-speaking countries. Selecting the literature that best represents Annales characteristics, this bibliography covers Annales theory and practice as an intellectual movement, a historiography, and as a school of historical scholarship. It also covers Annales historians and their substantive works. The volume opens with an essay overviewing the Annales movement. Part One covers works on the history and theory of the movement, and Part Two covers the historians and their important works. The annotated entries include articles, monographs, dissertations, and book chapters in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian.

Book Archaeology  Annales  and Ethnohistory

Download or read book Archaeology Annales and Ethnohistory written by A. Bernard Knapp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-04-16 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection considers the relevance of the Annales 'school' for archaeology. The Annales movement regarded orthodox history as too much concerned with events, too narrowly political, too narrative in form and too isolated from neighbouring disciplines. Annalistes attempted to construct a 'total' history, dealing with a wide range of human activity, and combining divergent material, documentary, and theoretical approaches to the past. Annales-oriented research utilizes the techniques and tools of various ancillary fields, and integrates temporal, spatial, material and behavioural analyses. Such an approach is obviously attractive to archaeologists, for even though they deal with material data rather than social facts, they are just as much as historians interested in understanding social, economic and political factors such as power and dominance, conflict, exchange and other human activities. Three introductory essays consider the relationship between Annales methodology and current archaeological theory. Case studies draw upon methodological variations of the multifaceted Annales approach. The volume concludes with two overviews, one historical and the other archaeological.

  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press

  • ISBN : 0226749193
  • Pages : 425 pages

Download or read book Logics of History written by William H. Sewell Jr. and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While social scientists and historians have been exchanging ideas for a long time, they have never developed a proper dialogue about social theory. William H. Sewell Jr. observes that on questions of theory the communication has been mostly one way: from social science to history. Logics of History argues that both history and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other. While historians do not think of themselves as theorists, they know something social scientists do not: how to think about the temporalities of social life. On the other hand, while social scientists’ treatments of temporality are usually clumsy, their theoretical sophistication and penchant for structural accounts of social life could offer much to historians. Renowned for his work at the crossroads of history, sociology, political science, and anthropology, Sewell argues that only by combining a more sophisticated understanding of historical time with a concern for larger theoretical questions can a satisfying social theory emerge. In Logics of History, he reveals the shape such an engagement could take, some of the topics it could illuminate, and how it might affect both sides of the disciplinary divide.
