Histoire Paralèlle, a TV show hosted by Marc Ferro with newsreels shown in both countries, 50 years before, became the most watched program of the station, comparing the images the ways in which German and French started the war, as it should be seen and experienced by their fellow citizens. The program became a social- ized process of understanding and historical rewriting, besides standing before the conflict between memory and history, a ques- tion that guided the historiography of the 1990s. This article analyzes Histoire Paralèlle, examining the relationship that it estab- lished with the historiography and filmic production of the historian. Therefore, its theoretical assumptions are re-discussed and historicized in the context of Ferro’s works and through the analysis of three of his programs.

    Reseña. Cortés Riera. La escuela de los Anales 80 AÑOS DE LA ESCUELA DE LOS ANALES Luis Eduardo Cortés Riera. [email protected] El 15 de enero de 1929 nació la Revista de la que iba a ser la afamada Escuela de los Anales, un tercer hito historiográfico como el positivismo y el marxismo. Esta publicación fue dirigida por dos grandes historiadores franceses, Marc Bloch y Lucien Febvre, quienes eran ya unos reconocidos historiadores al haber publicado Los reyes taumaturgos, el primero y Martín Lutero. Un destino, el segundo. Esta Escuela se ha especializado en el estudio de las estructuras mentales y se le reconoce como el inicio de la llamada historia de las mentalidades colectivas. La ciudad Estrasburgo, en límites con Alemania, vio nacer la Escuela de los Anales, cuando el Estado francés creyó oportuno enviar allí lo mejor de su intelectualidad como contrapeso a la cultura germánica. En el primitivo directorio de la Revista de Anales figuran el sociólogo de la memoria Maurice Halbwachs, los historiadores Henry Hauser y el medievalista belga Henry Perenne, entre otros. Estos hombres se propusieron hacer una historia distinta a la de Leopold Von Ranke, es decir una historia no sólo política y afincada en los grandes hombres, batallas y tratados internacionales, sino una historia de todos los grupos humanos. En este sentido es una clara superación del historicismo alemán y del positivismo. Con Anales se produce una profunda imbricación de la historia con otras ciencias sociales: la geografía de Vidal de la Blanche, la sociología durkheniana, la antropología de Mauss y Levi Bruhl, la lingüística de Saussure, y eventualmente el psicoanálisis freudiano.

  • O CINEMA COMO FONTE HISTÓRICA NA OBRA DE MARC FERRO Cinema As a Historial Source in the Works Marc Ferro
    MORETTIN , E. V. O cinema como fonte histórica na obra... 11 O CINEMA COMO FONTE HISTÓRICA NA OBRA DE MARC FERRO Cinema as a historial source in the Works Marc Ferro Eduardo Victorio Morettin* RESUMO Este artigo analisa o lugar que o cinema ocupa como fonte histórica na obra de Marc Ferro. Além de examinar a relação entre história e o cinema em seus textos, ele também sistematiza as noções que comandam a reflexão de ferro sobre o tema. Por último, ressalta a maneira pela qual se efetiva esta relação por meio do estudo de alguns casos concretos, como os filmes feitos durante o período da República de Weimar. Palavras-chave: cinema, história, Marc Ferro. ABSTRACT This article analyzes the insertion of the cinema as a historical source in Marc Ferro’s work. Besides examining the relationship between history and cinema in his texts, it also presents some key elements that drive his reflection about the theme. Finally, this article highlights the way this relationship is put into practice, using concrete examples such as some of the films produced during Weimar’s Republic period. Key-words: film, history, Marc Ferro. Vários foram os pesquisadores que se preocuparam com a relação entre cinema e história. Não temos a intenção de apresentar a maneira pela qual esta questão foi pensada ao longo do tempo. Podemos, no entanto, afirmar que ela é tão antiga como o próprio cinema, como vemos em um documento de 1898, publicado na revista Cultures.1 No caso brasileiro, * Professor da Escola de Comunicação Artes - ECA da USP 1 LE CINÉMA et l’histoire: un document de 1898.

  • An American in the Russian Fighting
    Surgeon Grow: An American in the Russian Fighting Laurie S. Stoff The remembrances of Dr. Malcom Grow, an American surgeon who served with the Russian Imperial Army for several years during World War I, serve as a valuable addition to our understanding of the war experiences on the Eastern Front. The war in the East is signifcantly underrepresented in publications on the Great War than that of the Western Front. While one may peruse shelf after shelf of memoirs, journalists’ accounts, and scholarly assessments concerning the participation of Western nations in the First World War, the same cannot be said about Russia’s Great War. Loath to celebrate an imperialist war, in fact, for many, merely perceived as prelude to revolution, the Soviet ofcials failed to engage in extensive ofcial commemoration of the war akin to that of the British and French; Soviet historians similarly shied away from extensive analysis of the confict. Western scholars, as a result of language barriers and general lack of attention to Eastern Europe, tended to focus their histories on Western actors. Russia’s participation in the First World War was thus often overlooked, and ultimately overshadowed by the Revolution, and then, by the devasting impact of the Second World War.1 Nonetheless, the war in Russia deserves considerable attention (and in recent years, has begun to obtain it)2, not only as a result of the fact that it was a primary area of confict, but also because Russia’s Great War was substantively diferent in numerous ways. Perhaps most importantly, the war was far from the stagnant trench warfare along a relatively stable front that characterized the combat in places like France.

  • Braudel's Mediterranean and Italy
    Peer Reviewed Title: Braudel’s Mediterranean and Italy Journal Issue: California Italian Studies, 1(1) Author: Marino, John A., UC San Diego Publication Date: 2010 Publication Info: California Italian Studies Permalink: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/5qp086z8 Acknowledgements: Dept. of History; University of California, San Diego; 9500 Gilman Dr.; La Jolla, CA 92093-0104 Local Identifier: ismrg_cisj_8846 Abstract: This article reviews the Italian reception of the French historian Fernand Braudel (1902-1985) and his scholarly work. Beginning with the effusive encomia published in Italian newspapers on his death, it examines the reality behind these hyperbolic claims by asking three questions: 1) What were Braudel’s contributions to the study of history in general and Italian history in particular? 2) How did Braudel’s relationship with Italian scholars and Italian history create such a reputation that an academic historian had become a legend in his own time? 3) What remains of Braudel’s work and method over the past twenty-five years in Italy and beyond? A summary of Braudel’s theses and evaluations by leading historians suggest that while Braudel’s book La Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l’époque de Philippe II may have as many errors as insights, it remains alive as a source of inspiration for the history of early modern Italy, prior to the establishment of the nation state. By subordinating political history to all aspects of life through the investigative methodology of the social sciences and by changing the way we think about time, space, and subject matter in history, Braudel’s vision provides a point of departure both to look back at the historiographical tradition before the volume was first published in 1949 and again at its second edition in 1966, as well as to scan forward to the historiography it has spawned.

Marino Born on August 24, 1902 in Luméville-en-Ornois, a small Lorraine village of about 200 inhabitants in the Meuse near the French-German frontier redrawn after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, Fernand Braudel died at the age of 83 on Wednesday evening, November 27, 1985, in Paris.

    volume 4 issue 8/2015 HISTOIRE PARALLÈLE/DIE WOCHE VOR 50 JAHREN (La SEPT/ ARTE 1989– 2001) NEWSREELSASAN‘ AGENT AND SOURCE OF HISTORY’ 1 Jean Christophe Meyer Institut d’Etudes Politiques 47 Avenue de la Foreˆt-Noire F-67085 Strasbourg Cedex France [email protected] Abstract: This article gives an overview of Histoire Paralle`le/Die Woche vor 50 Jahren, a history programme that stands out through its longevity and format. Discussions in this article are based on archive material and statistical data from Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, Arte and Deutsches Rundfunk Archiv, an interview with Marc Ferro, the presenter of the show, as well as press material from the time. Keywords: Histoire Paralle`le/Die Woche vor 50 Jahren, World War II, history programmes, nouvelle histoire 1 Introduction Moving pictures and photographs shape quite decisively the individual and collective perception of reported historical events, independent of their role as genuine visual records or reconstructed fictional narratives. In any case, they provide clues to understand the past but also the present.2 In this respect Histoire paralle`le/Die Woche vor 50 Jahren has a unique place among European history shows to date. Its longevity is certainly the most evident reason justifying such an assertion; the diversity of the broadcast newsreel material, the applied methodology and the competence of the invited guests are further factors to be mentioned. The show was part of the initial programming of experimental TV channel La SEPT (Socie´te´ europe´enne de programmes de te´le´vision) in October 1989. The show aired weekly for 12 years competing with news and variety shows on Saturdays in prime time.3 It rapidly found its audience before switching over to ARTE (Association Relative a` la Te´le´vision Europe´enne) in 1992.
