Michel Vovelle, a historian whose work has received international acclaim, here addresses
the crucial question of his original position within the field of social history, in terms of the
perspective of a total history within which the random can give meaning to the historical
event. As a historian of mentalités, Michel Vovelle goes on to point out how, along with
Robert Mandrou, his work has made a contribution to the reformulation of the cultural
history and history of representations which currently define the agenda of French historiography. To conclude, he shows how, both in the topics of research which he chose and
in his intellectual engagements, his practice as a historian, without in any sense departing
from the search for historical objectivity, was animated by his prior heuristic sympathy for
a mode of Marxist explanation. |
