This article presents some recent trends in French historiography that concern the relationship between history and literature. Among the recent developments are "experiments" carried out by a few historians, which are characterized by an explicit determination to focus on narrative, along with a willingness to share one's own historical subjectivity. By going through some of the examples from this approach, this article highlights how these literary reflexes make important contributions. However, it also points out the weakness of this proposed method of making history on epistemological grounds. That is, it abandons the form of historical writing that requires distance and an appreciation that history's vocation is to propose solid but uncertain propositions (to paraphrase Zemon Davis). By insisting on emotional and sensitive understanding, the knowledge gained from these experiments only questions the scientific aspects of history and history itself. This recent trend is not exactly new, as it evidently links up with some of the consequences generated by the linguistic turn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
