Abstract

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.
法国史学的新范式,还是旧范式?
本文介绍了法国史学研究中有关历史与文学关系的一些最新趋势。在最近的发展中,一些历史学家进行了“实验”,其特点是明确决心关注叙事,同时愿意分享自己的历史主观性。通过对这种方法的一些例子的分析,本文强调了这些文学反射是如何做出重要贡献的。然而,它也指出了这种在认识论基础上创造历史的方法的弱点。也就是说,它放弃了历史写作的形式,这种形式需要距离感,也需要欣赏历史的使命是提出坚实但不确定的命题(套用泽蒙·戴维斯的话)。通过坚持感性和敏感的理解,从这些实验中获得的知识只是质疑历史的科学方面和历史本身。这种最近的趋势并不新鲜,因为它显然与语言转向所产生的一些后果有关。
