This study aims to comprehensively characterize microhistory as a modern historiographical genre. It examines the key attributes, features, and epistemology of microhistory in relation to conventional historical approaches. By tracing the emergence of microhistory and analyzing sample texts, this research identifies the distinctive elements of microhistorical research. These include a granular focus on marginalized individuals, skepticism toward grand narratives, and a sensory emphasis on material artifacts over abstract facts. The study elucidates how micro-history's postmodern relativism and localized subjectivity contrast with traditional historiography. While acknowledging microhistory's unique focus on overlooked experiences, the analysis cautions against overly presentist and emotive reinterpretations of the past. This study maps the philosophical underpinnings and practices of the microhistory movement, clarifying its significance within modern historiography and its potential impact on historical research methodology.

Nineteenth-century African American historians believed in the power of history to change minds, fight racial prejudice, make African Americans proud of their past and address their current condition. This history with an agenda relied in part on collective biographies, i. e. biographical sketches of great men and ( a few ) women. This essay will examine the way this pantheon was constructed in the early African American press as well as the first books by African American historians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Un spectre hante la critique : le spectre du surréalisme. Toutes les puissances de la vieille critique se sont unies en une alliance sacrée pour traquer ce spectre : le « pape du surréalisme » et Sartre ; Nadeau et Schuster ; les Surréalistes Révolutionnaires et les Situationnistes. Quelle opposition, parmi ses adversaires, ne l’a pas accusé d’être dépassé, voire trépassé de son vivant ? Laquelle, à son tour, n’a pas renvoyé à ses adversaires de tout acabit l’épithète infamante de surréaliste ? Il en résulte un double enseignement. Déjà le surréalisme est reconnu comme une puissance par toutes les puissances de la critique. Et donc, il vaut mieux le rabattre au conte du spectre, en dépit des expressions concrètes que les surréalistes de diverses nationalités exposent à la face du monde entier. La critique historiographique du surréalisme – méconnu après 1969 – requiert une approche critique comparée de son paradigme dominant.

This article opens with autobiographical reflections outlining how the author came to study the histories of race, racism, and whiteness in Canada; namely, through a biographical examination of Canadian academic and public intellectual Watson Kirkconnell. The article then discusses the author's engagement with the scant Canadian literature on race science/scientific racism. After defining whiteness and discussing its relationships with gender and class, the article provides suggestions for future research on race and whiteness in Canada; in particular, the need for definitional, temporal, and geographical specificity; the need for original archival research and collaboration with archivists; and the importance of biographical research. Drawing connections between the past and present, the article concludes by stressing the importance of this research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dans la lignée de travaux récents sur l'histoire des masculinités scientifiques et l'histoire sociale et culturelle des intellectuels, cet article propose une relecture des origines de la discipline historique centrée sur la partition entre espace public, monde privé et sphère professionnelle. Dès les années 1870, les ambitions nouvelles de l'histoire‐science redéfinirent en profondeur la persona savante, l'épistémologie disciplinaire et l'identité collective des historiens. Ce tournant scientifique favorisa l'institution d'un monde d'entre‐soi professionnel et masculin, précipitant ainsi la rupture avec le « grand public » profane, dont les femmes étaient l'incarnation la plus immédiate. En parallèle, ces chercheurs assignaient à l'histoire, « école du citoyen », d'importantes fonctions morales et civiques. Ainsi s'explique le discrédit jeté, en des termes charriant un profond imaginaire de genre, sur les travaux jugés trop étroitement érudits ou sur la « petite histoire », anecdotique et littéraire. Cet article met enfin en lumière la sphère privée des historiens, en insistant sur l'économie domestique du travail historiographique déployée au sein de l'espace du couple. Ces principes de vision et de division des mondes historiens ne manquent pas de générer des échos éminemment actuels, qui demeurent des objets de réflexivité collective pour la discipline d'aujourd'hui.

The cascading crises of the novel coronavirus pandemic era are seen, by some observers, as the constitutive components of a broad "polycrisis." It is a useful term, but, as some have pointed out, while it registers the fact of coinciding crises it does little to explain the interaction of those crises. Indeed, polycrisis is a misleading conceptualization of the pandemic era in part because the cascading character of the present crisis is a function of a shared ultimate cause. What we have been experiencing is best understood as a crisis of capitalism, the result of industrial humanity's deformed relationship with the natural world. This is more specific than an obvious contending description that would render the present crisis in anthropogenic terms, as a result of human activity. Instead, the present crisis is the product of specific forms of human activity and particular elements of humanity, namely, capital. This being the case, we might speak instead of a broad, structural crisis that is, in turn, experienced as a crisis cascade. This "paradox of polycrisis" has historiographical implications, and this article concludes by suggesting how contemporary historians can confront the crisis and write history for our times.

During the nineteenth century the medieval history of the city of Arras became increasingly important for cultivation of the literary and musical history of the French nation. Modern scholars typically cast the remarkable culture of medieval Arras within the context of France, largely erasing the city's complex geopolitical position during the medieval period. This article argues that the historiography is more complicated, revealing scholars who attempted to claim medieval Arrageois culture for Belgium, as well as scholars whose regionalist approach to cultural history defied contemporary nationalist currents on either side of the Franco‐Belgian border. In showing the variety of nineteenth‐century approaches to writing the cultural history of this important medieval center, the article argues that Arras and its history provide a useful context for understanding how the nascent Belgian nation curated and understood its past.

Although recognized as an important legal authority in the formative period of Mālikī legal doctrine (2nd-3rd/8th-9th century), Ašhab b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz (d. 204/820) is portrayed in narrative sources after the 4th/10th century as a scholar who diverged from or even contradicted the master's doctrine, Mālik b. Anas (d. 179/795). This article examines Ašhab's divergence and independency through the analysis of seven anecdotes consigned in the Mālikī biographical literature between the 4th/10th and 6th/12th centuries. By placing these anecdotes in their political, social and doctrinal contexts of writing we emphasize that: 1. Ašhab's divergence is a historical construction that is 2. the corollary of the evolution of Mālikī legal doctrine between the 3rd/9th and 6th/12th centuries. In fine , we show that an interconnection exists between the biographical tradition built on Ašhab and the evolution of the Mālikī maḏhab (doctrinal school of law). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Les sociétés de l’Occident médiéval étaient-elles organisées en “communautésˮ ? L’usage de cette notion, qui ne se rencontre guère dans la documentation avant le 13e siècle, est particu- lièrement problématique pour le haut Moyen Âge. C’est néanmoins pour cette époque que les juristes du 19e siècle, suivis par nombre d’historiens, puis de sociologues, ont évoqué l’existence de “communautés de villageˮ remontant à des temps immémoriaux. Ces travaux anciens relatifs à une sorte de “communautéˮ primitive – Genossenschaft, Gemeinschaft ou Village Community – sont d’autant plus importants importants qu’ils ont joué un rôle non négligeable dans la genèse des définitions du fait communautaire au sein des sciences sociales. L’historiographie de la seconde moitié du 20e siècle atteste toutefois un retournement : la formation de communautés d’habitants fut alors envisagée comme une organisation autant spatiale que sociale, rapportée au développement de la domination seigneuriale et située dans la seconde partie du Moyen Âge. Aujourd’hui, l’apport d’une masse considérable de données archéologiques inédites permettant d’éclairer les transformations du système de peuplement, incite à reconsidérer une nouvelle fois l’histoire des groupes d’habitants, replacée dans une longue durée médiévale.

This article offers a reflection on the writing of the sīra , the "life of the Prophet," based on the study of the catalogs of the Egyptian National Library and the Library of al-Azhar. The cross-analysis of the classifications of medieval and modern sciences, and the categories used by cataloguers at the end of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century, shows that the sīra was irreducible to the "biography of the Prophet," and covered a much larger set of texts. The rest of the article offers a description of the corpus of 491 works of sīra and the 1,119 manuscripts and printed matter which are its material manifestations. We come to the conclusion that this corpus can be used to describe the culture of the sīra in Egypt and in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Two results appear particularly important: the constitution of series of texts (basic text, commentaries, glosses) makes it possible to describe a major part of the culture of commentary in the Ottoman period; the examination of the corpus also offers an interesting perspective on the transition between manuscript culture and printed culture in 19th century Egypt.

Pour interroger ce que les études de genre font à une approche sociologique de la littérature, cet article s’appuie sur une étude de cas : celui des premières avant-gardes artistiques du xxe siècle. Il examine, d’une part, le fonctionnement des groupes et les relations entre leurs acteurs et actrices, et, d’autre part, l’historiographie de ces mouvements. Et il montre que « les lunettes du genre » permettent de nuancer la doxa critique et ainsi de renouveler la lecture du corpus.

Während der Fahrt der Flotte Alexanders durch den Indischen Ozean sichteten seine Seeleute angeblich ein Seeungeheuer. Die an der Unternehmung beteiligten Autoren Nearchos, Onesikritos und Orthagoras nahmen die ungewöhnliche Begegnung in ihre Werke auf, gaben diese aber in unterschiedlicher Weise wieder. Obwohl es sich dabei um eine in mehrerer Hinsicht interessante Episode handelt, besitzt sie einen besonders hohen Quellenwert, um Rückschlüsse über Alexanders Positionierung gegenüber den altorientalischen Kontexten seiner Herrschaft anzustellen. Schließlich behaupteten bereits die neuassyrischen Herrscher, auf dem Meer am Rande der Welt Seeungeheuer gesichtet zu haben, womit ein allumfassender Herrschaftsanspruch einherging. Die achaimenidischen Großkönige benutzten dasselbe Argument, um Universalherrschaft und dadurch legitime Herrschaft zu kommunizieren. Kontextualisiert man die Sichtung des Seeungeheuers in den Fragmenten der Werke der Feldzugsteilnehmer in den Diskurs um Universalherrschaft des ersten Jahrtausends v. Chr., so lassen sich Alexanders Bestrebungen feststellen, sich zu den Konzepten legitimer Herrschaft nicht-makedonischer Prägung zu positionieren und sich in einer Weise als rechtmäßiger Herrscher zu präsentieren, die auch für seine asiatischen Untertanen verständlich war. Die am Alexanderzug teilnehmenden Autoren nahmen die hierfür benutzten Ideologeme in ihre Werke auf, passten sie aber entsprechend ihrer literarischen Absichten an. Summary: In the course of the navigation of Alexander's fleet through the Indian Ocean, the sailors allegedly sighted a sea-monster. Nearchus, Onesicritus, and Orthagoras recorded the unusual encounter in their works, but each of them accounted the sighting with different emphasis. Although the episode deserves scholarly attention in several respects, it offers deep insights in Alexander's encounter with the ancient Near Eastern concepts of imperial rulership. After all, the Neo-Assyrian rulers and the Achaemenid Great Kings already claimed to have sighted sea-monsters on the sea at the edge of the world, which was an important ideologeme for their claim to universal rulership. Contextualising the sighting of the sea-monster against the backdrop of the ancient Near Eastern discourse on empire leads to a fresh interpretation of Alexander's encounter with non-Macedonian concepts of legitimate rulership. It will be argued here that the sighting of a sea monster in the ocean can be explained by Alexander's efforts to present himself to his Asian subjects as the legitimate ruler according to ancient Near Eastern concepts of rulership. The authors accompanying the Macedonian conqueror used such ideologemes for their accounts, but they adapted them due to their own literary purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For two decades Copenhagen was a cultural powerhouse in European Enlightenment due to the so-called German Circle in Copenhagen (1750–1770) initiated by King Frederik V. and J. H. E. Bernstorff. The article examines the description of the German Circle in Danish literary history through three major phases: from early Enlightenment through the 19th Century and up until today's European and global histories. The historiographic survey shows a decreasing interest in representing this cultural and intellectual group as a centre of a European transfer between English, Scandinavian and German literature. Instead, attention is paid to Klopstock and Johannes Ewald as key figures in the transition to a modern poetry. In general, Danish literary histories display a fear of German cultural colonization and anxieties about the status of Danish as a minor language. In current historiography, the German Circle seems to have disappeared and might be at the brink of fading into cultural oblivion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[fr] La multiplication des découvertes archéologiques dans la péninsule Ibérique et, dans une moindre mesure, au Maghreb Extrême, est l’occasion de réaliser un premier bilan actualisé des indices matériels de l’utilisation de l’arbalète en Occident musulman durant le Moyen Âge. Il s’avère nécessaire de croiser les données issues de sources variées pour dépasser les nombreuses limites inhérentes à l’étude des vestiges archéologiques, souvent fragmentaires et dans un mauvais état de conservation au moment de leur découverte.

Résumé : La présente étude examine le gothique à partir de ses fondements propres et de sa spécificité littéraire. Elle a pour objectif de délimiter le texte d’Horace Walpole, The Castle of Otranto, dans un champ historiographique, spatial et architectural. Il s’agira alors de démontrer le lien indestructible entre le passé et le présent, lien qui siège au cœur du mouvement gothique. Ce projet littéraire requiert d’illustrer, chez Walpole, comment le passé est ancré à la fois dans le mythe des origines et dans un monde en proie au chaos profane. L’étude démontre également comment l’exotisme géographique et l’architecture du château d’Otrante concourent à une représentation de l’altérité et de la modernité comme cadres de questions existentielles devant un monde en constante mutation. Dès lors, nous nous attachons à explorer les enjeux liés aux spectres et à la nature en tant que lieux d’expression d’un genre qui, en bafouant les valeurs du classicisme, a participé à l’avènement du romantisme. Par conséquent, Horace Walpole, dans The Castle of Otranto, après la disparition des grandes sources de l’imagination et de la fantaisie, réconcilie la littérature d’imagination et la littérature réaliste.

This study aims at understanding the milieu in which the stories of ʿAdī b. Zayd – the "Christian" poet of al-Ḥīra – and his family were produced. We compare the account of ʿAdī's life found in the Kitāb al-Aġānī with other late antique and medieval historiographical traditions, and analyse it using methods of textual and literary criticism. The results of our analysis lend support to the hypothesis that stories about the poet could have been developed in al-Ḥīra, between 602 and 633 AD, in order to assert the legitimacy of the Banū Ayyūb family, striving to dominate the city. This survey demonstrates the value of the Kitāb al-Aġānī as a witness to the development and transmission of historiographical lore between Christian and Muslim communities of Mesopotamia during the first centuries of Islam.

This paper aims to delve into the underlying trends of the contemporary historiography of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Under the guidance of historical accounts developed outside Spain before the end of the Francoist dictatorship (1939-1977), and during the transition to democracy (1977-1983), some Spanish historians strove to write a bias-free and fact-based depiction of the war and its aftermath. By relying on close readings of historical documents, those historians assumed their methodology to be the most accurate when dealing with historical events that are so contested. However, recent shifts in the way this past has been remembered in Spain have produced a historiography endorsing new perspectives, which has also given rise to controversies among historians regarding the scope of and the assumptions underlying their work. To understand the currents of these debates, this paper echoes these groundbreaking approaches and attempts to illuminate how the influence of the social movement of «historical memory» has led Spanish historians to question their assumptions and endorse a more heterodox and interdisciplinary approach to engaging with the history of the Spanish Civil War.

The article focuses on emergence and transformations of Puritanism in England. It mentions opposition between a minority puritanism, necessarily locked into a posture reactionary, even revolutionary, and the Church of England established by law and members spanned a wide religious spectrum ranging from separatism to conformity. It also mentions conjunctural of the civil war, and last war of religion rather than the first European revolution and precision of Puritan piety.
