Os próprios fundadores da revista dos Annales já pensavam a história a partir de longos períodos, contrapondo-se à história política dos séculos XVIII e XIX, ainda que Fernand Braudel afirme que a história política não é exclusivamente factual, nem condenada a sê-lo. Para entendermos como Fernand Braudel chega a esta posição é necessário refletir sobre as influências que o levaram a tal, dentre as quais e, principalmente, a tradição dos Annales. Portanto, buscaremos analisar as considerações sobre o tempo histórico em Lucien Febvre e Marc Bloch e como estas considerações incidem na nova grade do tempo proposta por Fernand Braudel. Analisaremos o tempo histórico em suas dimensões de “temporalidade” e “duração”, a “dialética da duração” e a forma como Fernand Braudel trabalha com o conceito de “estrutura”. O estudo das perspectivas metodológicas do grupo dos Annales, onde se situa nosso projeto, figura como pré-requisito para a compreensão dos métodos da historiografia contemporânea, em especial os ligados à Nova História. Devido à sistematização da nova proposta temporal para as pesquisas históricas realizada por Fernand Braudel e, principalmente, ao seu mérito de articular o meio, cultura e sociedade em trabalhos balizados pela “dialética das durações”, somos levados a tomar a sua obra como base para o atual trabalho. / Fernand Braudel argues about the historical research which gives priority to long term. Even the founders of the Journal of Annales already thought history from long periods of time, contrasting to the political history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, while Fernand Braudel has said that the political history is not only factual, or ordered to do so. To understand how Fernand Braudel reaches this position, we must reflect on the influences that led him to this, among them, and mainly from the tradition of the Annales. Therefore, we’ll examine the comments about the historical time in Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre and how these considerations relate to the new grade of time proposed by Fernand Braudel. We’ll review the historical time in its dimensions of temporality and duration, the dialectic of duration and how Fernand Braudel works with the concept of structure. The study of the methodological perspectives from Annales group, which is our project, is a prerequisite to understanding the methods of contemporary historiography, in particular those linked to the New History. Due to the systematization of the new proposal about time for historical research conducted by the Fernand Braudel and, especially, the merit of articulating the environment, culture and society on works marked by the dialectics of the time, we have to take his work as a basis for the current research.

The Annales of the Roman poet, Quintus Ennius, was not an isolated example of an historical epic. Other poets before Ennius' time had written epics of various types, and different sorts of poems that dealt with historical or national material, and some of these influenced Ennius. This study will consider Ennius' relationship to the Homeric epics, and show how he imitated them in form and style. The writings of other Greek poets who preceded Ennius will be examined to determine whether they might also have influenced the Roman poet. The works of the two Roman poets who wrote before Ennius will be looked at, and some observations made about other historical materials that may have been available for the poet to use in his work. Finally, the place of Quintus Ennius and his Annales in the historiography of Rome will be discussed. The Annales seems to have been unique in that it was an epic poem which encompassed the whole history of the Roman people from the earliest times right down to the period in which the poet lived. Other poets before Ennius had dealt with some aspects of their cities' backgrounds, including mythological and legendary material. Ennius was the first to combine ancient legends and more recent history into one coherent epic poem, his Annales. / Arts, Faculty of / Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies, Department of / Graduate

To examine this matter we have established, initially, the social and institutional place of this periodical, through analysis that considered its materiality, the profile of its collaborators and the intellectual trajectory of its founder. Then, we evaluated the series of works published in that journal, with the goal of position the place that the annaliste historiography occupied in that publication. The data obtained using these examinations were fundamental to explain the reasons that justified the dissemination of the Annales historiography in the pages of Revista de História. Such information, together with the research undertook around the Annales magazines, helped us to realize that the spread of annaliste historiography did not cease to relate to a set of practices, which intended, above all, to legitimate positions in the intellectual and political fields. In this context, we have seen how the transfer of such ideas was fed, primarily, by issues which are not restricted, only, to the interest in the development of historiographical knowledge. / Nesse trabalho de Dissertação, analisamos a difusão da historiografia dos Annales no Brasil, a partir da produção historiográfica impressa durante a primeira década de circulação da Revista de História, periódico paulista fundado, em 1950, pelo historiador uspiano Eurípedes Simões de Paula. Para examinarmos essa problemática, estabelecemos, inicialmente, o lugar social e institucional dessa revista, através de análises que consideraram a sua materialidade, o perfil dos seus colaboradores e a trajetória intelectual do seu fundador. Em seguida, avaliamos o conjunto de trabalhos publicados nesse suporte, com o intuito de situar o lugar que a historiografia annaliste ocupou nessa publicação. Os dados obtidos por meio desses exames foram fundamentais para explicarmos os motivos que justificaram a difusão da historiografia dos Annales nas páginas da Revista de História. Essas informações, somadas à pesquisa empreendida em torno das revistas dos Annales, ajudaram-nos a perceber que a disseminação da historiografia annaliste não deixou de relacionar-se a um conjunto de práticas, que objetivavam, sobretudo, legitimar posições no campo intelectual e político. Em meio a esse contexto, pudemos constatar o quanto a transferência dessas idéias foi alimentada, sobretudo, por questões que não se restringiram, somente, ao interesse pelo desenvolvimento do conhecimento historiográfico.

This thesis explores the growth of antislavery sentiment in the English-speaking world during the eighteenth century. I examine the institutional processes, transatlantic discourses, and ideological schema with which individuals and groups reformulated their identities as a means of extricating themselves from slavery's various social, economic, and ethical implications. I argue that abolitionism in England is best understood as the cumulative outcome to a series of identity reconstructions, and that a Histoire des Mentalités, as drawn from the Annales School, is an apt methodology for unmasking the structural underpinnings of an antislavery identity.

Against the Tide investigates systematically for the first time how resistances to methodologies advanced by historians associated with the Annales School, one of the most influential twentieth-century schools of historical thought, came to exist in England, France, Germany, Italy and the United States between 1900 and 1970. It defines ‘methodology' in broad terms as the practice of history and poses a series of questions about resistances: who or what created them? What constituted them? Did they centre on a particular methodology, Annales historian or the Annales School as a whole? And what did opposition to methodologies incorporate: technical debates in isolation or wider issues associated with politics, religion and philosophy? The dissertation uses an interdisciplinary conceptual framework,drawing together ideas advanced in the history of science, sociology of education and knowledge, and comparative history, in order to answer these questions. The responses offered refer to and draw on a selection of sources: one hundred and nine scholars' private archives, the articles, books, critical reviews and published letters of a variety of historians and segments of the growing literature both about the Annales School and about the institutions within which the historical discipline operated during the twentieth century. They suggest that resistances played an important part in the international dissemination of Annales historians' methodologies, that resistors held different ideas about the Annales School from those of its creators and divergent methodological commitments, but that they like Annales historians often sought to enhance historical research and sometimes worked on the same subjects but in different and occasionally equally inventive ways. Overall, the findings illustrate a limited but important part of Annales' own history and thereby help to cast the School in new light on terms other than its own by placing it in the transnational context of twentieth-century transatlantic historiography.

My main purpose with this paper of John Steinbecks Of mice and men is to both analyze the long-lived structures and the unique individual destinies of the novel. I employ the method of the historical Annales-movement and use three divided levels in my analysis to try to capture these high structures and low moments of humanity in Structure, Konjuncture and the Individuality. The first level, Structure, is used to see how long-lived almost invisible geographic structures set the human act of condition. The second level, Konjuncture, is easier to grasp in understanding of time and embraces for example economic structures as the industrialism. The last level of Individuality is the fastest in time and easiest to understand but in the long run also the least important. Humans are controlled by structures and norms. I try to inspect what these three levels look like in Of Mice and Men and how they affect each other and the main characters of the novel. I make use of Foucault and Butler in the Konjuncture-level to explore how power, production and discourse create structures that affects the working man and the “non-working” woman in Of Mice and Men. I adopt Butler to see how Steinbeck creates gender through clothes and working tools. In the Indivual-level we can see the effects of the other levels in the characters actions. For example how their sexual preferences are effects of the power-structure of the production (Rubin and Foucault), how a society see images of filth or purity when someone differ from the norm (Douglas and Foucault) and how we sacrifice one member of the social group to contain stability when chaos threatens (Girard).

This thesis deals with Tacitus' portrayal of women by examining in detail a number of the female characters in the Annals in order to identify certain themes and ideas relating to women. The most striking theme to emerge from such an examination is that of the strong, powerful, almost masculine woman, and several of the characters examined exemplify this recurring theme. In portraying these characters Tacitus uses certain language patterns and techniques of characterisation, and this thesis is concerned with identifying such patterns and techniques. These include the recurring use of certain words with a specific connotation, and the employment of several methods of directing the reader's perception in the manner Tacitus desires. This manipulation of the reader's response is an example of Tacitus' direct and indirect authorial control, which is also evident in his technique of using his own and other authors' usage to create resonances for particular expressions. Of note is the fact that Tacitus avoids direct description of his characters, but rather allows their actions to reveal character. Given that Tacitus' main preoccupation in the Annals as a whole is the nature of the principate, he uses his portrayal of women to illuminate and comment upon his view of this form of government. The women chosen for study, with one exception, belong to the imperial circle since, with the inauguration of one man rule, those with ready access to the princeps had the most opportunity to break out of the mould of the traditional ideal of Roman womanhood. Boudicca, the British queen of the Iceni, has been chosen for study as a foil to the Roman women in order to highlight their manoeuvrings for personal power, while Octavia has been selected as an exemplar of the Roman ideal of womanhood. Although this is not a historical or sociological study, it must be noted that the evidence we have of the period about which Tacitus is writing is in fact one-sided evidence derived from a restricted social class, recorded by men, and an attempt to redress this balance is made by reference to contemporary studies of the legal and social position of women in Roman society. Consequently chapters on the historical background and the position of women respectively have been included as background. In addition other ancient sources have been consulted where this is appropriate in order to determine areas of bias in Tacitus. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1993.
