This new and expanded edition of The French Historical Revolution brings out the contribution of a 4th generation of the Annales open to the diversity of the world, its hybridity and cultural encounters through the work of its most original and productive representatives, such as Serge Gruzinski, Lucette Valensi and Nathan Wachtel.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAndré Burguière, L’Ecole des Hautes Etudes on Sciences Sociales\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a critical history of the movement associated with the journal Annales, from its foundation in 1929 to the present. This movement has been the single most important force in the development of what is sometimes called ‘the new history’.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Renowned cultural historian, Peter Burke, distinguishes between four main generations in the development of the Annales School. The first generation included Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch, who fought against the old historical establishment and founded the journal Annales to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The second generation was dominated by Fernand Braudel, whose magnificent work on the Mediterranean has become a modern classic. The third generation, deeply associated with the ‘cultural turn’ in historical scholarship, includes recently well-known historians such as Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, Jacques Le Goff and Georges Duby. This new edition brings us right up to the present, and contemplates the work of a fourth generation, including practitioners such as Roger Chartier, Serge Gruzinski and Jacques Revel. This new generation continued much of the cultural focus of the previous Annales historians, while diversifying further, and becoming increasingly ‘reflexive’, a move that owes much to the sociocultural theories of Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau and Pierre Bourdieu.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Wide-ranging yet concise, this new edition of a classic work of analysis of one of the most important historical movements of the twentieth century will be welcomed by students of history and other social sciences and by the interested general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 The Old Historiographical Regime and its Critics\u003cbr\u003e 2 The Founders: Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch\u003cbr\u003e i The Early Years\u003cbr\u003e ii Strasbourg\u003cbr\u003e iii The Foundation of Annales\u003cbr\u003e iv The Institutionalization of Annales\u003cbr\u003e 3 The Age of Braudel\u003cbr\u003e i The Mediterranean\u003cbr\u003e ii The Later Braudel\u003cbr\u003e iii The Rise of Quantitative History\u003cbr\u003e 4 The Third Generation\u003cbr\u003e i From the Cellar to the Attic\u003cbr\u003e ii The ‘Third Level’ of Serial History\u003cbr\u003e iii Reactions: Anthropology, Politics, Narrative\u003cbr\u003e 5 New Directions (1989-2014)\u003cbr\u003e 6 The Annales in Global Perspective\u003cbr\u003e i Reception and Resistance\u003cbr\u003e ii Striking a Balance\u003cbr\u003e Glossary: The Language of Annales\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20%5BHB%5D%22\"\u003eHB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52483191800088,"sku":"9780745661148","price":16.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745661148.jpg?v=1786023666","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-french-historical-revolution-the-annales-school-1929-2014-paperback-softback-9780745661148","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
