Fernand Paul Achille Braudel(French:[fɛʁnɑ̃bʁodɛl];24 August 1902 – 27 November 1985) was a French historian. His scholarship focused on three main projects:The Mediterranean(1923–49, then 1949–66),Civilization and Capitalism(1955–79), and the unfinishedIdentity of France(1970–85). He was a member of theAnnales Schoolof Frenchhistoriographyandsocial historyin the 1950s and 1960s.
Braudel emphasized the role of large-scale socioeconomic factors in the making and writing of history.[2]In a 2011 poll byHistory Todaymagazine, he was named the most important historian of the previous 60 years.[3]
Biography
[edit]Braudel was born inLuméville-en-Ornoisin the département of theMeuse,France.[4]He grew up in apre-industrialrural setting with his grandmother until at the age of seven he joined his father inParis.[4]His father, a mathematics teacher, aided him in his studies. His maternal grandfather had been aCommunard,and Braudel was reluctant to mention this side of his family.[5]
Braudel was educated at theLycée Voltaire(1913–20), where he studiedLatinandGreek,and at theSorbonne,where he was taught byHenri Hauserand gained anagrégationin history in 1923.[4]He taught at alycéeinConstantineinFrench Algeriain 1923/24,[6]where he met his future second wife, Paule Pradel,[7]and then at theUniversity of Algiersuntil 1932, with a break formilitary servicein theFrench Army of the Rhinein 1925/26.[6]While in Algeria, he became fascinated by theMediterranean Seaand wrote a paper on the Spanish presence in the country during the 16th century.[4]He also began there his doctoral thesis on the foreign policy of KingPhilip II of Spain(r. 1556–1598),[4]with archival research at theGeneral Archive of Simancasin the summer of 1927. He visited several archives around the Mediterranean, including atVenice,Valencia and finallyDubrovnikin 1936/37, andmicrofilmeddocuments with the help of his wife.[7][8]From 1932 to 1935 he taught in the Parislycées(secondary schools) ofPasteur,CondorcetandHenri-IV.[4]During this period he first metLucien Febvre,the co-founder of theAnnalesjournal (1929).[9]
By 1900, the French had solidified their cultural influence inBrazilby the establishment of the Brazilian Academy of Fine Arts.São Paulostill lacked a university, however, and in 1934, the francophile Julio de Mesquita Filho invited the anthropologistClaude Lévi-Straussand Braudel to help develop one. The result was the establishment of the newUniversity of São Pauloon 25 January 1934. Braudel left for Brazil in March 1935, after the birth of his daughter, and took up the post vacated byÉmile Coornaert.He worked within the state-promoted ideological framework ofPan-Latinism,part of the Frenchcivilizing mission,and helped the São Paulo elites in their project of achieving social and national hegemony.[10]His colleagues includedJoão Cruz Costa,Roberto SimonsenandCaio Prado Júnior.[11]The evening lectures of French professors were attended by the city governorArmando de Sales OliveiraandMarshalCândido Rondon.[12]Braudel made use of his stay for intellectual experimentation and he later said that the time in Brazil had been the "greatest period of his life".[13]Braudel was fascinated with Sao Paulo's rapidvertical growthin the earlyVargas Era[14][a]and noted thePaulistaacademics' claims that "there is nosocial question"in the new world.[15]Unlike Lévi-Strauss, he did not actively support the Communist-backedNational Liberation Alliance,but took a more centrist position.[16]He compared Brazil favourably – on account of its "social malleability" andtabula rasadevelopment as a "young European civilization" – to Algeria and even to the United States in his 1937The Concept of a New Country.[17]He would later call Algeria, with its "uneducable" population,[18]"a failed Brazil".[19]
In 1937, Braudel returned to Paris from Brazil. He spent the twenty-day sea journey in the company of Febvre and his family as both had booked passage on the same ship.[9][4]Braudel thus fell under the influence of theAnnalesSchool. In 1938 he entered theÉcole pratique des hautes étudesas an instructor in history.[4]He worked with Febvre, who would later read the early versions of Braudel'smagnum opusand provide him with editorial advice. He started writing his book on Philip II's Mediterranean at Febvre's house in theJuras.[20]He only took a stance on current politics when expressing condemnation of theMunich Agreementin 1938.[21]
At the outbreak ofwarin 1939, he was called up for military service and on 29 June 1940 taken prisoner aslieutenantin the 156th Infantry Regiment by the Germans in theVosges.[22][4][23]He was initially held at aprisoner-of-war campinNeuf-Brisachand then in theOflag XII-Bin thecitadelofMainz.[22]In Mainz, he became therectorof the camp university, which gained him respectful treatment (perMagnifizenz) from the camp authorities and the right to borrow books and journals from the well-provisioned municipal library for his research. Under theGeneva Conventionhe received his pay, which he used to buy German books (e.g. the works ofWerner SombartandMax Weber), and was able to order material from France, including the full collection of theAnnales.[24]In June 1942, suspected of "Gaullist"(i.e.French Resistance) involvement, he was transferred to a camp for special category prisoners (Oflag X-C) nearLübeck,where he remained for the rest of the war.[25]In the camp, he befriended someCatholicclerics[26]and the historianHenri Brunschwig .[27][b]Braudel drafted his great workLa Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l'époque de Philippe II(The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II ) without access to his personal collection of books and notes, which forced him to rely in that regard on his prodigious memory.[28][23]According to his own account, the long-time perspective he took was in part a "direct existential" reaction to the troubling war news. By "choosing the position of God the Father himself as a refuge" he sought to assert the "perdurability and majestic immobility" of the Mediterranean against the "fleeting occurrence" of political events which he associated with the "daily misery" of the camp.[23]He sent completedcopy booksto Febvre in Paris[c],first apparently through theInternational Red Cross,[31]and after obtaining written authorisation from theOKWin November 1942 via theGerman embassy in Paris.[30]He occasionally dispatched books to Febvre as well.[30]He edited his work after his release in 1945 by checking it against the archival material that survived the war in a metal container in the basement of his Paris house.[23]He cut portions from the copy books and re-arranged the text with new insertions, then destroyed the manuscripts – only a fragment gifted to Febvre has survived.[31][32]During the war, his wife and children lived in Algeria.[29]
Braudel became the leader of the second generation ofAnnaleshistorians after 1945. He defended his thesis at the University of Paris in 1947.[33]In that year, with Febvre andCharles Morazé ,he[citation needed]obtained funding from the French government and theRockefeller Foundation(which had previously supported the wartime exileÉcole libre des hautes étudesin New York) to set up theSixième sectionfor economic and social sciences at theÉcole pratique des hautes études(EPHE), which then became the funnel for all historical research in France.[34]In 1948, theCentre de recherches historiqueswas established there, with Braudel as its director.[35]In 1949 he was elected by the professors of theCollège de Franceas one of their number upon Febvre's retirement. He co-founded the academic journalRevue économique,in 1950.[36][37]He became the head of theSixième sectionat EPHE after the death of Febvre in 1956 and attracted scholars such asRoland BarthesandJacques Lacanto join its activities. He became the editor-in-chief of theAnnalesin 1957, which completed his rise to unrivalled influence on the development of the historical studies in France in the post-war years.[35]He received an additional $1 million from theFord Foundationin 1960.[38]
In 1962, he andGaston Bergerused the Ford Foundation grant and government funds to create a new independent foundation, theFondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme (FMSH), which Braudel directed from 1970 to his death. It was housed in the building called"Maison des Sciences de l'Homme".FMSH focused its activities on international networking in order to disseminate theAnnalesapproach to the rest of Europe and to the world. In 1972 Braudel gave up all editorial responsibility on theAnnalesjournal, but his name remained on the masthead.
In 1962 Braudel wroteA History of Civilizationsas the basis for a history course, but its rejection of the traditional event-based narrative was too radical for theFrench Ministry of Education,which in turn rejected it.[39]
He retired in 1968. In 1975, theSixième sectionwas transformed intoSchool for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences,apublic institution of higher educationin its own right. In 1984 he was elected to theAcadémie françaiseand his introduction speech was given byMaurice Druon.
La Méditerranée
[edit]His first book,La Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l'époque de Philippe II(1949) (The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II) was his most influential and has been described as a "watershed".[40]
For Braudel there is no single Mediterranean Sea. There are many seas, indeed a "vast, complex expanse" within which men operate. Life is conducted on the Mediterranean: people travel, fish, fight wars, and drown in its various contexts, and the sea articulates with the plains and islands. Life on the plains is diverse and complex; the poorer south is affected by religious diversity (CatholicismandIslam), as well as by intrusions, both cultural and economic, from the north. In other words, the Mediterranean cannot be understood independently from what is exterior to it. Any rigid adherence to boundaries falsifies the situation.
The first level of time, geographical time, is that of the environment, with its slow, almost imperceptible change, its repetition and cycles. Such change may be slow, but it is irresistible. The second level of time comprises long-term social, economic, and cultural history, where Braudel discusses the Mediterranean economy, social groupings, empires and civilizations. Change at that level is much more rapid than that of the environment. Braudel looks at two or three centuries to spot a particular pattern such as the rise and fall of various aristocracies. The third level of time is that of events (histoire événementielle). This is the history of individuals with names. That, for Braudel, is the time of surfaces and deceptive effects. It is the time of thecourte duréeproper and the focus of Part 3 ofThe Mediterranean,which treats of "events, politics and people."
Braudel's Mediterranean is centered on the sea, but just as importantly, it is also the desert and the mountains. The desert creates a nomadic form of social organization where the whole community moves; mountain life is sedentary. Transhumance the movement from the mountain to the plain or vice versa in a given season is also a persistent part of Mediterranean existence.
Braudel's vast panoramic view used insights from other social sciences, employed the concept of thelongue durée,and downplayed the importance of specific events. It was widely admired, but most historians did not try to replicate it and instead focused on their specialized monographs. The book firmly launched the study of the Mediterranean and dramatically raised the worldwide profile of theAnnales School.
In the 1966 second edition to his book, which went further in the direction of seeking scientific precision through economic quantification, Braudel claimed that over the previous twenty to thirty years "the chain of economic events and their short-term conjunctures" had been established as a less obvious alternative to the traditional "chain of political events".[41]
The second edition appeared in 70,000 copies, in contrast to 2,500 copies of the first edition.[42]It was only with the publishing of the English translation of the second edition of his book that Braudel's work began to make an impact on Anglophone scholarship.[43]
Capitalism
[edit]AfterLa Méditerranée,Braudel's most famous work isCivilisation Matérielle, Économie et Capitalisme, XVe-XVIIIe( "Civilization and Capitalism, 15th-18th Century" ). The first volume was published in 1967 and was translated to English in 1973. The last of the three-volume work appeared in 1979.[44]The work is a broad-scale history of the pre-industrial modern world focusing on how regular people made economies work. Like all of Braudel's other major works, it mixes traditional economic material withthick descriptionof the social impact of economic events on various facets of everyday life, includingfood,fashionand othersocial customs.
The third volume, subtitled "The Perspective of the World", was strongly influenced by the work of German scholars likeWerner Sombart.In it, Braudel traces the impact of the centers of Western capitalism on the rest of the world. Braudel wrote the series as a way of explanation for the modern way and partly as a refutation of theMarxistview of history.[45]
Braudel discussed the idea of long-term cycles in thecapitalisteconomy that he saw developing in Europe in the 12th century. Particular cities and later nation-states follow each other sequentially as centres of these cycles:Venicein the 13th through the 15th centuries (1250–1510);AntwerpandGenoain the 16th century (1500–1569 and 1557–1627, respectively),Amsterdamin the 16th through 18th centuries (1627–1733); and London (and England) in the 18th and 19th centuries (1733–1896). He used the word "structures" to denote a variety ofsocial structures,such as organized behaviours, attitudes, and conventions, as well as physical structures and infrastructures. He argued that the structures established in Europe during the Middle Ages contributed to the successes of present-day European-based cultures. He attributed much of that to the long-standing independence of city-states, which, though later subjugated by larger geographic states, were not always completely suppressed, probably for reasons of utility.
Braudel argues that capitalists have typically been monopolists and not, as is usually assumed, entrepreneurs operating in competitive markets. He argued that capitalists did not specialize and did not use free markets, and he thus diverges from both liberal (Adam Smith) andMarxianinterpretations. In Braudel's view, the state in capitalist countries has served as a guarantor of monopolists rather than a protector of competition, as it is usually portrayed. He asserted that capitalists have had power and cunning on their side, as they have arrayed themselves against the majority of the population.[46]
An agrarian structure is a long-term structure in the Braudelian understanding of the concept. On a larger scale the agrarian structure is more dependent on the regional, social, cultural and historical factors than on the state's undertaken activities.[47]
L'Identité de la France
[edit]Braudel's last and most personal book wasL'Identité de la France(The Identity of France), which was unfinished at the time of his death in 1985.[45]Unlike in many of Braudel's other books, he makes no secret of his profound love of his country in this book and remarks at the beginning that he had loved France as if she were a woman. Reflecting his interest with thelongue durée,Braudel's concern inL'Identité de la Francewas with the centuries and millennia, instead of the years and decades. Braudel argued that France is the product not of its politics or economics but rather of its geography and culture, a thesis that Braudel had explored in a wide-ranging book that saw thebourgand thepatois: histoire totaleintegrated into a broad sweep of both the place and the time.
L'Identité de la Francewas much coloured by a romantic nostalgia, as Braudel argued for the existence of aFrance profonde,a "deep France" based upon the peasantmentalité,which despite all of the turmoil of French history and the Industrial Revolution, has survived intact right up to the present.[45]
In this book, he expressed a conviction that economics is "the most scientific of the sciences of man", while history is merely an imperfect one.[41]
Historiography
[edit]According to Braudel, before theAnnalesapproach, the writing of history was focused on thecourte durée(short span), or onhistoire événementielle(a history of events).
His followers admired his use of thelongue duréeapproach to stress the slow and often imperceptible effects of space, climate and technology on the actions of human beings in the past.[d]TheAnnaleshistorians, after living through two world wars and massive political upheavals in France, were very uncomfortable with the notion that multiple ruptures and discontinuities created history. They preferred to stress inertia and thelongue durée,arguing that the continuities in the deepest structures of society were central to history. Upheavals in institutions or the superstructure of social life were of little significance, for history, they argued, lies beyond the reach of conscious actors, especially the will ofrevolutionaries.They rejected the Marxist idea that history should be used as a tool to foment and foster revolutions.[48]A proponent of historical materialism himself, Braudel rejected Marxistdialecticalmaterialism,stressing the equal importance ofinfrastructure and superstructure,both of which reflected enduring social, economic, and cultural realities. Braudel's structures, both mental and environmental, determine the long-term course of events by constraining actions on, and by, humans over a duration long enough that they are beyond the consciousness of the actors involved.
A feature of Braudel's work was his compassion for the suffering of marginal people.[49][page needed]He articulated the view that most surviving historical sources come from the literate wealthy classes. He emphasised the importance of the ephemeral lives of slaves, serfs, peasants and the urban poor, and demonstrated their contributions to the wealth and power of their respective masters and societies. His work was often illustrated with contemporary depictions of daily life and rarely with pictures of noblemen or kings.[citation needed]He chose to emphasise constraints on human agency – asJ. H. Elliottnoted in a review of his first book, "Braudel's Mediterranean is a world unresponsive to human control" so that "Braudel's mountains move his men, but never his men the mountains".[50]This preference forobjective explanations at the expense of human decisionscould lead Braudel towards dubious conclusions, as when he asserted thatoverpopulationwas the principal reason for theexpulsion of Jews from Spain,PortugalandSicilyat the turn of the fifteenth century.[50]
Braudel is considered a precursor of theworld-systems theory.[51]
