Abstract:

Syftet är att undersöka vilka ifrågasättanden av nuvarande styrdokument och kunskap som kan ha lett till utvecklandet och genomförandet av gymnasiereformen Gy 2011. Med ifrågasättande av kunskap menas att vedertagen kunskapsutveckling och tankesätt får fortgå så länge inga röster höjs som ifrågasätter den, detta sker med utgångspunkt i Thavenius teori. Studien innefattar vidare vilka förhandlingar, mellan forskarsamhället och statsmakten som eventuellt har gjorts vid framtagandet av den nya reformen. I enighet med Odéns teori om hur förhandlingar uppstår när det sker förslag på förändringar, jag skall därför undersöka om det går att urskilja några sådana vid framtagandet av Gy2011, med fokus gällande historieämnet. Syftet med studien är att: skapa en bild av vad som teoretiskt sett styr gymnasieskolans undervisning hur och varför detta åstadkommits skillnader mot tidigare läroplan och kursmål samt vad man önskar uppnå med gymnasiereformen

Abstract:

This study concerns the experiences of Italian digital historians and their implications for historical scholarship. The present and future of the profession of historian, in academia and outside it, are inextricably linked to the digital revolution that is pervading society. How historians face the challenges and take advantage of the affordances of technology will have a strong impact on teaching and researching history in the future. However, the voice of digital historians on these issues does not emerge systematically from the literature. This research uses grounded theory methodology to delineate a theory of being a digital historian in Italy, a country with a rich historiographical tradition and widespread interest in history, but a weak connection with technology in scholarly endeavours. Based on in-depth interviews with digital historians, the analysis presented here highlights their initiatives, evaluations and strategies, in relation to all aspects of scholarship but particularly the education of future historians. This research is motivated and informed by my professional experience as lecturer in digital methodologies for historical research. The emerging theory revolves around the concept of developing digital history: Italian digital historians are pioneers, animated by passion and desire to innovate but working in a challenging, largely unsupportive environment where their initiatives have not translated well into educational provision for future digital historians or, more generally, to provide students with tools and methodology for historiography in the digital age. Through an illuminative comparison with interviews conducted with digital historians in the United Kingdom, differences and similarities are analysed, with a view to creating a general theory of being a digital historian and its implications for the future of scholarship in history.

Tsagouria, P. "The polis, its coinage and its historians." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2006. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1445887/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis sets out to explore whether the Greeks had a concept of economics and whether it is appropriate to talk about the polis economy. These issues are explored, first by studying Greek coinage and economic practices related to polis public finance and, second, by studying Greek historians' understanding of economics. In the latter case, we consider Herodotus' treatment of the economics of the Persian Wars as well as Thucydides' and Xenophon's treatment of the economics of the Peloponnesian War. From the study of economics in Greek historiography, it is maintained that Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon were not only interested in economics but also understood war economics. This is due to the dominance of naval warfare especially in the last years of the Peloponnesian War, which resulted in the monetization of the polis economy. However, we claim that the above historians in varying degrees failed to encapsulate the ramifications of the polis economy and its complexity, because there is a disparity between the reality of the polis economy and its interpretation by the historians. Thus any reconstruction of the polis economy and of the rationale for economic practices based on fifth century Greek historiography is limited and insufficient. It is for this reason that we have studied Greek coinage and certain economic practices employed by the polis to manage public finances, finance public expenditure and deal with economic crises. From this study, we argue that the polis economy was a rational and independent institution operating within the polis. In a nutshell, the main conclusion of this thesis is that although the understanding of economic factors was 'embedded' in the prevailing ideology of wealth and money, there was indeed a polis economy as an independent institution.

Abstract:

L’enseignement supérieur en France et en Norvège a été profondément marqué par des réformes liées au Processus de Bologne. La réorganisation des programmes d’études constitue une partie centrale de ces réformes. En Angleterre, c’est plutôt des réformes nationales qui ont changé l’organisation des cursus dans la discipline de l’histoire. Avec cette thèse, j’ai cherché à étudier les rapports, s’il y en a, entre l’organisation des programmes d’études et les conceptions disciplinaires dans une discipline donnée, celle de l’histoire. A partir d’entretiens semi-directifs avec des historiens qui enseignent en master dans deux universités de chacun des trois pays, j’ai étudié les façons de concevoir la discipline de l’histoire en relation avec les pratiques d’enseignement et les structures dans lesquelles ont lieu ces pratiques d’enseignement. Plutôt que de prendre les réformes en tant qu’objet d’étude, j’ai choisi de les utiliser comme un outil méthodologique afin d’étudier les conceptions disciplinaires. Les réformes des cursus ont créé des controverses dans les six départements d’histoire étudiés. Les argumentations développées par les historiens dans ces controverses dévoilent des conceptions disciplinaires autrement plus tacites. Les divergences entre différentes conceptions de l’histoire ainsi exposées posent la question de l’universalité et de l’essentialisme des disciplines affirmés dans une grande partie de la recherche. L’analyse des conceptions disciplinaires à travers les pratiques d’enseignement, les programmes d’études et les réformes de ces programmes reformule la question des liens entre la discipline et son environnement
Reforms related to the Bologna process have profoundly influenced on French and Norwegian higher education. The reorganisation of study programmes is a key feature of these reforms. In England, it is rather national reforms that have changed the degree structure in the discipline of history. With this thesis I have sought to study the relationships between the structure of study programmes and conceptions of a discipline in a given discipline, that of history. Based on interviews with historians teaching at master level in two universities in each of the three countries, I have studied ways to understand and define the discipline related to teaching practices and the structures within which these practices take place. Rather than taking the reforms as object of study, I have chosen to use them as a methodological means in order to study disciplinary conceptions. The degree structure reforms have created controversies in the six history departments under study. The argumentations developed by the historians in these debates unveil tacit disciplinary conceptions. The variations between different conceptions of history hereby exposed pose the question of the disciplines’ universality and essentialism claimed by many. The analysis of disciplinary conceptions conducted through the analysis of study programmes and the reforms of these study programmes reformulate the question of the relationship between a discipline and its context

Kim, Dong Sung. "Historiography, history writing and identity : a critical and comparative analysis of five Korean Protestant historians and their histories." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/30351.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to analyse the manner in which various unexamined presumptions have influenced the historical study of Protestant Christianity in Korea. The main argument is that the perspectives and methods utilised by the Korean Protestant historians in their study of Protestant Christian history in Korea simply serve to replicate these presumptions. Despite the purported application of different perspective in their historical study of Protestant Christianity in Korea the actual written histories of the Korean Protestant historians remain identical in nearly all aspects. The first three chapters provide the theoretical basis for a critical and comparative analysis of the five Korean Protestant historians. It will be demonstrated that Korean Protestant historians systematically fail to obtain a coherent understanding of the very context in which their historical studies are undertaken. This failure leads the historians to uncritically appropriate various historical presumptions regarding Protestant Christianity into their histories. This further leads to the actual written histories adopting identical forms and contents. Three examples of how the uncritical appropriation of presumptions distorts the reality of the historical experience show that the failure by the historians to question such presumptions results in distorted narratives and mistaken interpretations of historical experiences. Furthermore, these presumptions function as a master narrative that undermines the appropriate application of the purported historiographical perspectives of the Korean Protestant historians. The final part of the thesis seeks to identify theoretical and methodological alternatives that can inform the historical study of Protestant Christianity in Korea. Developments in methodology and perspective with regard to the historical study of Christianity as a world religion can provide useful insights into how Korean Protestant historical studies can move beyond its present state of entrapment.

Abstract:

Many historians have acknowledged the temptation to portray people as they see themselves and wish to be seen, blending history and ideology. The result is "mythistory." Twentieth century Texas writers and historians, remarking upon the exceptional durability of the Texas mythistory that emerged from the nineteenth century, have questioned its resistance to revision throughout the twentieth century. By placing the writing of Texas history within the context of American and European intellectual climates and history writing generally, from the close of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth, it is possible to identify a pattern that provides some insight into the popularity and persistence of Texas mythistory.

Abstract:

This dissertation analyses academic military history and the writing of the World Wars in Canada. While there have been hundreds of books devoted to Canada???s role in the World Wars, few historians have examined the writing of that same history, or the archival records that were used to construct these narratives. It has been the official historians of the Department of National Defence who, for much of the twentieth century, have controlled the historical writing of the World Wars, and that military history has been narrowly defined as the history of military operations. Training, administrating and operational war-fighting remained the focus. Only recently have academic military historians pushed the discipline of military history to explore the impact of the World Wars on Canadian society. Nonetheless, it remains the publications of A.F. Duguid, C.P. Stacy, Gilbert Tucker, Fred Hitchins, Joseph Schull, and more recent official historians that provide the central narrative when examining the writing on Canada???s World Wars. An exploration of key historians and their works reveals historical themes underpinning how memory and narrative of the World Wars has been constructed within historical writing. The official historians were the guardians of memory and controllers of the past. Caught within the battles of reputations that followed the World Wars, they were forced to carefully navigate through these contested issues. Laying an interpretative frame-work, the official historians allowed subsequent generations to build upon and rework their findings, through writing their histories but also by acting as the archivists for their respective services. While the official histories have their flaws, they are also exceptionally important foundational studies that deserve greater attention and study in their own right.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the coexistence of 'narrative', popular history, which aims to tell a story to edify and entertain, with 'structural' history, which gained precedence in the university from the nineteenth century onward. Using the case studies of Simon Schama and Niall Ferguson, popular historians who transitioned from early 'structural' works to 'narrative' books and finally documentary, the precise nature of narrative is examined through the theory of literary historical tropes developed by Hayden White, where a political perspective engages an 'emplotment' where a form of narrative develops. After examining how tropes apply to the life experience, ideology and resulting emplotment of Schama and Ferguson, it looks at the academic criticisms of their narratives, in text and television documentary - namely, that the organisation of data into a compelling story negates accuracy and objectivity in the name of entertainment. Subsequently, the similarity of Schama and Ferguson's narrative style is compared to pre-academic historical writings from before Leopold von Ranke. The final argument is that the popular history espoused by Schama and Ferguson is a re-emergence of the older, pre-academic style, based on narrative, which predates the structural history which displaced it. This dissertation concludes by examining how the two historiographies might coexist, arguing that the new narrative can offer excitement and purpose to the structural historian, giving relevance to the rigorous work of structural history.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that Richard Hofstadter's innovations in historical method arose as a critical response to the Progressive historians, particularly to Charles Beard. It argues that Hofstadter's first two books were demonstrations of the inadequacy of Progressive methodology, while his third book (the Age of Reform) was a demonstration of the potential of his new way of doing history.

Beattie, Diane Lynn. "The informational needs of historians researching women : an archival user study." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1987. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/26047.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the informational needs of historians researching women as a subject in archives. The research methodology employed combines two types of user studies, the questionnaire and the reference analysis, in order to determine both the use and usefulness of archival materials and finding aids for historians researching women. This study begins with an overview of the literature on user studies. The thesis then outlines both the kinds of materials and the information historians researching women require. Finally, this study looks at the way historians researching women locate relevant materials and concomitantly the effectiveness of current descriptive policies and practices in dealing with the needs of this research group. This thesis concludes by suggesting a number of ways in which archivists can respond to the informational needs of historians researching women in archives. Firstly, a considerable amount of documentation relevant to the study of women remains to be acquired by archival repositories. While archives should continue to acquire textual materials, more emphasis needs to be placed upon the acquisition of non-textual materials since these materials are also very useful to historians researching women in archives. Secondly, archivists must focus more attention on the informational value of their holdings since the majority of historians researching women are interested in the information the records contain about people, events or subject area and not the description of institutional life contained in records. Thirdly this study demonstrates the need for more subject oriented finding aids. Archivists can improve subject access to their holdings through the preparation of thematic guides, by the creation of more analytical inventory descriptions and by indexing or cataloguing women's records.

Abstract:

The following document offers a qualitative case study in the field of adult and community education from an educational leadership perspective using baseball as an adult learning tool. Relevant existing theories (adult education, lifelong learning, adult learners, and certain leadership practices) for successful facilitation of historical baseball research were examined. The study focused on a purposeful sample population upon which a pilot study was conducted, revealing the experiences of adult self-directed learners who produce the seminal work in their field as an avocation. The findings of this study included, but are not limited to, the passionate approach the study group members have for their subject matter, their love of learning, and the self-directedness of nonformally trained research historians using baseball as an adult learning tool. The findings also revealed the group members belief in the academic worthiness of baseball history, and their willingness to share their work with others to advance the field.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the rise of nationalist narratives in France between the late seventeenth century and the 1830 revolution. It does so by adopting the enthnosymbolist approach and focusing on the role of historians in reshaping memories, symbols, and values of social groups in their claim of ‘representing’ the nation. Starting from a study of the royalist cult and its national narrative, it shows how historians identified the history of France with the king’s immortal body. Out of the royalist cult, and in opposition to it, stemmed discursive groups contesting the king’s identification with the nation. The thesis focuses on two of such groups. Considering these to be what Anthony D. Smith calls ‘ethnies’, it shows how historian reshaped their past on the claim that it presented the true history of France. The thesis also highlights, through the debates surrounding ‘race’, ‘national character’ and ‘class’, how these, rather than being abstract political concepts, where actually discourses about ‘identities’, laden with emotional meaning. Relating, in debates of the time, major and lesser known authors, the thesis analyses the ideas of three major historians of the period, Boulainvilliers, Montesquieu and Augustin Thierry, all of whom had a fundamental role in shaping ‘race’, ‘national character’ and ‘class’ and, moreover, had a fundamental role in the debate on the origins of the French nation.

Abstract:

Examines the historiographical and practical problems of using newspapers in historical research. Studies the methods of different types of professional and non-professional historians, to evaluate the value of newspapers as historical documents and the problems particular to them. Examines the difficulties associated with newspapers in library collections from both the perspectives of newspaper users and custodians. Seeks to provide recommendations for both groups to facilitate the use of newspapers. The research adopted essentially qualitative methods. Using questionnaires and interviews, the opinions and experiences of historians in Wales were studied. Case studies of newspaper collections in Wales were undertaken to examine current policies and strategies at a local level. The research was also undertaken with collaboration from the British Library Newspaper Library and with specific reference to the work of the NEWSPLAN project. Concludes that newspapers are an important source for all manner of historical enquiries, but that historians often require further guidance in order to search, use and evaluate them. Different patterns of use were observed among different types of historians. Also suggests that newspapers are unlike other historical documents, because of their nature and role in society. Specific techniques are provided to assist the historian using newspapers. The use of newspapers is also shaped by the policies and strategies of both local and national newspaper collections. Thus, guidelines and recommendations are provided to assist these organisations. Further work is urged, to understand the needs of historians and the specific problems that newspapers present, following the five million pound Heritage Lottery Fund Award for the NEWSPLAN project in March 1999.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the way in which Wales and Welshness have been depicted in Welsh general histories published in the period between 1970 and 1997. National identity has been and remains a topical and controversial issue in Wales, due to the complex and multiple nature of the identities that could be classified as 'national' identities. Correspondingly, the issue of identity, particularly national and regional identities, has been the subject of considerable study within Wales. These studies have provided considerable insight into the nature of Welsh identity but there remain significant gaps in the overall research picture. This study focuses on one: the way in which Welsh historiography has portrayed Wales and Welshness. The very nature of Welsh history means that such a study must also involve consideration of the impact of England and the relationship between Wales and England on the historiographical depictions of Wales and Welshness.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the way in which Wales and Welshness have been depicted in Welsh general histories published in the period between 1970 and 1997. National identity has been and remains a topical and controversial issue in Wales, due to the complex and multiple nature of the identities that could be classified as 'national' identities. Correspondingly, the issue of identity, particularly national and regional identities, has been the subject of considerable study within Wales. These studies have provided considerable insight into the nature of Welsh identity but there remain significant gaps in the overall research picture. This study focuses on one: the way in which Welsh historiography has portrayed Wales and Welshness. The very nature of Welsh history means that such a study must also involve consideration of the impact of England and the relationship between Wales and England on the historiographical depictions of Wales and Welshness. England, as the dominant country in Britain and Wales' neighbour, has played a major role in shaping both the Welsh historical experience and Welsh identity, facts to which Welsh historians must respond, particularly when writing general histories of their country. This thesis, then, also examines the depiction of the Welsh-English relationship within Welsh national historiography and the way this, in turn, impacted on the way in which the historians portrayed Wales and Welshness. These concepts are very significant for both Welsh historiography and the wider study of Welsh identity. Historical studies, in providing the information for the construction of historically based national identities, are heavily involved in the larger issue of Welsh identity. This study aims to contribute to the research on Welsh identity through the analysis of this specific area of Welsh historiography.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie var att analysera lärares hur lärare förhåller sig till den icke-västerländska historians plats i det gymnasiala klassrummet. Frågeställningen delades upp i fyra frågor. Datainsamlingen skedde genom semistrukturerade samtalsintervjuer av tre historielärare. Detta gjordes med en fenomenografisk ansats för att undersöka lärarens syn på icke-västerländsk historia. Bearbetningen av texten gjordes genom en interaktiv process och analysen som amvändes i studien var en meningskoncentrerad analys, med självförståelse som tolkningskontext. I diskussionen diskuteras resultatet och analysen genom den eurocentriska dikotomin. I resultatet beskrivs den icke-västerländska historian som inte lika viktig som den västerländska. Det råder dock oenighet mellan lärarna om den faktiska plats som denna nyss nämnda historia är tillräcklig eller inte. I frågan om vilka händelser som prioriteras finns det en enighet om att den icke-västerländska historia behandlas oftast då Västerlandet är i kontakt med den. Den icke-västerländska historian undervisas också genom andra upplägg såsom tematiseringar, Pm, diskussioner eller korta redovisningar av läraren. I frågan som berör faktorer som påverkar undervisningsinnehållet blir ämnesplanen, elevsammansättning och den faktiska kunskapen och intresset hos läraren de faktorerna som lärarna anser påverkat dem. Två lärare tolkar ämnesplanen som en motståndsfaktor till icke-västerländsk historia, samtidigt som alla menar att ämnesplanen inte uppmuntrar till mer icke-västerländsk historia. Elevsammansättning var en stor faktor då fler elever med utomeuropeiska rötter desto mer icke-västerländsk historia i undervisningen. Kunskapen hos i sin tur hade en negativ effekt på mängden icke-västerländsk historia om lärare själv ansågs att hen hade liten kunskap om just den historian. Konklusionen var att den ickevästerländska historians plats anses vara för liten. Avgörande faktorer som påverkar synen är kunskap och intresse men även av ämnet. Den västerländska historian ansågs ha en större plats för att den ligger oss närmare kulturellt och geografiskt.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this Ph.D. thesis on émigré art historians in Britain is not only to show how alien the concept of art history was to the British before 1933, but also to assess and qualify the subsequent practical and theoretical contribution of art historians who immigrated to Britain. These 93 art historians who immigrated to Great Britain after 1933 had a major impact on the British art world. Yet, apart from a few monographs on Sir Ernst Gombrich and Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, no in-depth study has ever been done on this influx of scholars who changed the - picture of art history in Britain and, by extension, worldwide. Part one is a biographical enquiry based on both archival and historical research undertaken in Germany, work done in various private estates and public archives in Britain - the majority of which have never been utilised before - and interviews carried out both in Germany and Britain. It addresses fundamental issues about lewishness and the arts and gives an overview of the stages of Nazi persecution of art-related professions in Central Europe. It then categorises different groups which emerged in Britain between 1933 and 1945, depending on both gender issues and the intellectual background of the emigres. Eventually, it investigates the settlement of émigré art historians in Britain. This involves an analysis of the reasons which led refugee art historians to choose Great Britain as a first exile country. It focuses on help networks, problems of subsistence in a country where art history was under-developed, internment, the role played in the war effort, "Remigration" and, finally, the institutional acceptance of different emigre art historians by British scholars. The second section of my thesis is theoretical. It investigates the intellectual reaction of the émigrés to the British formalist tradition as well as the encounter of British scholars with the Central Europeans' non-aesthetical input. After emigration, some iconographers tried to steer clear of conventional style analysis, Geistesgeschichte or any other method involving criteria based on nationalistic components. It has been noted that émigré art historians took extreme care to winnow out any ideological inflection from their work by undertaking systematic research. However, a case study of the adaptation of the two most prominent emigre art historians emphasises the diversity in this "ideological withdrawal" and demonstrates that emigration was a key factor in their intellectual development. Pevsner's adherence to Hegelian and nationalistic analysis was transformed into a broader international version so as to escape the ideological debate. On the other hand, Gombrich's rejection of systems is an exacerbated phenomenon of the detachment from Hegelian historiography. This part eventually analyses another factor which had a deep influence on the works of the émigrés, i.e. language. Emigration was an important stage in the development of art history as the transfer to a new language helped clarify the art historical terminology of the émigrés. The third part of this thesis sheds some light on the active role of emigre art historians in Britain. It includes substantial work on the influence of the emigres on the structuring of art historical education, a survey of the emigres' new attempts in museology and a study of the unprecedented input of émigré art historians in art collecting, art dealing and art publishing. This thesis shows the extent of the influence of emigre art historians both in intellectual and practical domains. In the realm of theories, the British art theorists acknowledged a need for a more scientific discipline while remaining very attached to their tradition of "art appreciation", and the same phenomenon applied to their attitude towards art-historical education. In the practical arena, the British art scene was also professionalised through this influx of scholars. This Ph.D. thesis concludes that the post-1933 emigration of art historians professionalised the British art world but that this was achieved through a popularisation of the methods and techniques originally imported by the emigres.

Abstract:

Following Nietzsche, Oswald Spengler posed the central problems of the cyclical history of civilization in the twentieth century. Subsequent world historical theorists have attempted to answer Spengler's nihilistic perspective on the destined rise and fall of all cultures by rescuing a progressive movement which transcended the downfall of civilizations. World history since Spengler has been written in pursuit of an answer to the crises of modernism: to the 'Death of God,' the problem of progress, the emergent technological order with its bureaucratic management of society, and the need sensed by the metahistorians for a new 'mythical' grounding to avert the fall of the West. The "Crisis of the West" dominates the perspectives of the world historians. Their goals for the solution of 'modernism,' through the religious transformation of society or political and cultural world unity, are central to their motivation as writers and to the formulation of their paradigms.

Abstract:

The years 1870 to 1920 saw an extraordinary efflorescence of English historical writing, dominated by historians who were committed members of the Church of England, many of them in holy orders. At a time when both history and religion were central to cultural life, when history was becoming a modern academic discipline, and when the relationship between Christianity and advanced knowledge was under unprecedented scrutiny, this was a phenomenon of considerable intellectual significance. To understand why this came about, it is necessary to understand the intellectual and institutional conditions in the Church of England at the time. The Oxford Movement and the rise of incarnational theology had drawn Anglicans in ever greater numbers towards the study of the past. At the same time, it was still widely held that the Church of England should be a ‘learned church’: it therefore encouraged scholarship, sacred and secular, amongst its laity and clergy. The result was to produce historians who approached the past with a new set of priorities. The history of the English nation and its constitution was rewritten to show that the church – and especially the medieval church – was the originator and guarantor of modern nationality and liberty. Attitudes to the Reformation shifted from the celebratory to the sceptical, or even the downright hostile. Economic historians even came to see the Reformation as a social revolution – as the origin of modern poverty or capitalism. New and distinctive ideas about progress and divine providence were developed and articulated. Most of all, an examination of Anglican historical scholarship shows the continued vitality of the Church of England and the limitations to the idea that intellectual life was secularised over the course of the nineteenth century. Instead, historiography continued to be shaped by Anglican thought and institutions at this critical stage in its development.

Abstract:

Cette thèse retrace l'histoire des relations entre historiens et économistes aux États-Unis, des années 1880 aux années 1990. A l'aide de documents d'archives, elle réexamine l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'histoire et l'économie se sont éloignées l'une de l'autre au fur et à mesure que l'économie se mathématisait et se hissait au sommet de la hiérarchie des sciences sociales. Pour ce faire, elle étudie l'évolution des relations entre les deux disciplines, identifiant les périodes de coopération interdisciplinaire, d'isolement et de conflit. En mettant les historiens sur un pied d'égalité avec les économistes, la thèse enrichit notre compréhension de leurs relations de trois façons différentes. Premièrement, elle démontre que les interactions entre l'histoire et l'économie ont changé en fonction de leurs positions dans la hiérarchie des sciences. Deuxièmement, elle montre que la frontière entre l'histoire et l'économie a été façonnée par des conflits sur la méthode scientifique et remise en cause par la circulation des idées, comme l'illustre le champ de l'histoire économique. Enfin, elle montre que l'émergence et le déclin des écoles de pensée en histoire et en économie ont eu un impact sur leur relation. La thèse commence par montrer que le conflit des méthodes a joué un rôle crucial dans l'établissement de la frontière disciplinaire entre l'histoire et l'économie (chapitre I). Elle démontre ensuite que le flux d'idées entre les deux disciplines au début du XXe siècle était unidirectionnel et significatif, les historiens progressistes empruntant la théorie du déterminisme économique aux économistes d'inspiration marxiste et la modifiant au passage (chapitre II). Le troisième chapitre, consacré aux relations entre économistes néoclassiques et historiens économiques, met en évidence une détérioration significative de leurs relations entre le début de l'entre-deux-guerres et la fin des années 1950. Il montre qu'à une période d'indifférence mutuelle a succédé une période de conflit sur les déterminants de la croissance économique. Le chapitre IV traite des conséquences de l'essor de la cliométrie sur les relations entre l'histoire et l'économie du début des années 1960 à la fin des années 1980. Cet essor a conduit à la « déshumanisation » de l'histoire économique et à l'établissement d'une relation unilatérale entre l'histoire économique et l'économie néoclassique, ce qui a provoqué une crise de recrutement. Enfin, le chapitre V examine l'influence de l'histoire économique sur l'économie et la politique du développement à travers le prisme de la carrière de l'historien économique Douglass North (1920-2015). Il conclut que les recherches historiques de North ont joué un rôle important dans le renouvellement des approches institutionnelles et historiques des problèmes de développement économique.

This dissertation examines the relationship between historians and economists in the United States from the 1880s to the 1990s. Using archival materials, it reconsiders the hypothesis that history and economics became estranged from each other as the latter became more mathematized and rose to the top of the hierarchy of the social science disciplines. To this end, the dissertation studies the changing relationship between the two disciplines, identifying periods of interdisciplinary cooperation, isolation, and conflict. Putting historians on the same footing as economists, the dissertation enriches our understanding of their relationships in three respects. First, it is shown that the interactions between history and economics shifted with their positions in the hierarchy of the sciences. Secondly, it appears that the boundary between history and economics has been shaped by conflicts over scientific method and contested by the circulation of ideas, as exemplified by the field of economic history. Finally, it is argued that the emergence and decline of schools of thought in history and economics have impacted their relationship. The dissertation begins with showing that the conflict of the methods played a crucial role in establishing the disciplinary boundary between history and economics (Chapter I). It then demonstrates that the flow of ideas between the two disciplines in the early twentieth century was unidirectional and significant, with progressive historians borrowing the theory of economic determinism from Marxist-inspired economists and modifying it in the process (Chapter II). The third chapter, focused on the relationship between neoclassical economists and economic historians, highlights a significant deterioration in their relations between the beginning of the interwar period and the end of the 1950s. It shows that a period of mutual indifference was followed by a period of conflict over the determinants of economic growth. Chapter IV deals with the consequences of the rise of cliometrics on the relationship between history and economics from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. That rise led to the "dehumanization" of economic history and the establishment of a one-sided relationship between economic history and neoclassical economics, which in turn provoked a recruitment crisis. Finally, Chapter V considers the influence of economic history on development economics and development policy through the lenses of economic historian Douglass North's (1920-2015) career. It concludes that North's historical research has played an important role in the renewal of institutional and historical approaches to the problems of economic development.

Abstract:

Abstract Annie Heloise Abel (18731947) was one of only thirty American women to earn a PhD in history prior to the First World War. She was the first academically trained historian in the United States to consider the development of Indianwhite relations and, although her focus was narrowly political and her methodology almost entirely archival-based, in this she was a pioneer. Raised in the bucolic atmosphere of a late-Victorian Sussex village, at the age of twelve she became an actual pioneer when her parents moved to the Kansas frontier in the 1880s. She was the third child and eldest daughter among seven remarkable siblings, children of a Scottish gardener, each of whom obtained a college education and fulfilled the American dream of financial stability and status. Annie Abels academic career was one of rare success for a woman of the period and she studied at Kansas, Cornell, Yale, and Johns Hopkins universities. She was the first woman to win a Bulkley scholarship to Yale, where her doctoral thesis won her an American Historical Association award and was published in its annual report. As well as college teaching, for a short time she was historian at the Office (now Bureau) of Indian Affairs in Washington, DC, and was also involved in womens suffrage issues. She reached the peak of her academic teaching career as a history professor at Smith College in Massachusetts, one of the countrys most prestigious womens institutions of higher learning. She combined her teaching with research and wrote some minor pieces prior to her major work, a three-volume political history of the Indian Territory during the American Civil War, which was published between 1915 and 1925. Her life took an unexpected turn while on a research sabbatical in Australia when, aged nearly fifty, she found romance and then experienced a disastrous, short-lived marriage. Undeterred, she returned to America and continued to pursue her primary professional interest as an independent researcher, winning grants that took her to England and Canada, until her retirement to Aberdeen, Washington, in the 1930s. During this latter period of her life Annie Abel-Henderson (as she now styled herself) produced no original works but continued to publish editions of historically important manuscripts, work she had begun early in her career. Her research interests also covered early North American exploration narratives and, as an extension of her work on Indianwhite relations, she had planned an ambitious, comparative study of United States and British Dominion policy towards colonised peoples. As a reviewer, her historical expertise was long sought by the leading academic history journals of the day. Before her death at seventy four from carcinoma, her final years were busy with war relief work and occasional writing. No full-length work has yet appeared on this pioneer historian and this dissertation seeks to evaluate Annie Heloise Abels work by a close reading of her textual legacyoriginal, editorial and commentarialand to assess her importance in American historiography.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis argues that as historians of English-Canadian poetry, A. J. M. Smith, John Sutherland, Northrop Frye, and Desmond Pacey explicitly promote the value of past conflict reconciled into present harmony. They do so by claiming that such reconciliation marks the maturity of English-Canadian culture. This thesis also argues, however, that the interactive progression of their histories implicitly undermines this value. It does so because each critic appreciates a different group of poets for realizing their shared cultural ideal, thereby establishing contradictory representations of what they all claim to be the culmination of English-Canadian literary history. The thesis concludes that while their lingering sense of present cultural maturity should now be fully renounced, the value these critics place on reconciliation is well worth preserving and transforming.
