Annales schoolSchool of history. Established by Lucien Febvre (1878–1956) and Marc Bloch (1886–1944), its roots were in the journal Annales: économies, sociétés, civilisations, Febvre's reconstituted version of a journal he had earlier formed with Marc Bloch. Under Fernand Braudel's direction the Annales school promoted a new form of history, replacing the study of leaders with the lives of ordinary people and replacing examination of politics, diplomacy, and wars with inquiries into climate, demography, agriculture, commerce, technology, transportation, and communication, as well as social groups and mentalities. While aiming at a “total history,” it also yielded dazzling microstudies of villages and regions. Its international influence on historiography has been enormous. How to thank TFD for its existence?

This basic versus more ephemeral structures model looks, if not in content at least in structure, somewhat like the classic Annales school model. Marino offers a valuable study of the "mapping mentalities of the Renaissance" and the human geography of the Annales school, its postmodern aftermath, and future prospects. Historical teleology has since been challenged by a variety of approaches, many of them, like the Annales school of mentalities, devised in France. |
