In History as a Kind of Writing, scholar of French literature and culture Philippe Carrard speaks to this complexity by focusing the lens on the current state of French historiography. Carrard's work here is expansive-examining the conventions historians draw on to produce their texts and casting light on views put forward by literary theorists, theorists of history, and historians themselves. Ranging from discussions of lengthy dissertations on 1960s social and economic history to a more contemporary focus on events, actors, memory, and culture, the book digs deep into the how of history. How do historians arrange their data into narratives? What strategies do they employ to justify the validity of their descriptions? Are actors given their own voice? Along the way, Carrard also readdresses questions fundamental to the field, including its necessary membership in the narrative genre, the presumed objectivity of historiographic writing, and the place of history as a science, distinct from the natural and theoretical sciences. 606 $aHistoriography$zFrance 606 $aHistory$xMethodology 606 $aLiterature and history$zFrance 606 $aHistory$xPhilosophy 610 $aFrench historiography. 610 $aPaul Ricoeur. 610 $aconventions of writing. 610 $afigure of speech. 610 $ahistoriographic discourse. 610 $anarrative. 610 $arepresentation stage. 610 $arhetorical device. 615 0$aHistoriography 615 0$aHistory$xMethodology. 615 0$aLiterature and history 615 0$aHistory$xPhilosophy. 676 $a907.2/044 700 $aCarrard$b Philippe, $0457774 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162715603321 996 $aHistory as a Kind of Writing$92264958 997 $aUNINA
