Nice video and Braudel absolutely deserves all praise he can get, but you made one mistake. The Annales school wasn't actually established by him. He was only the second generation (probably the main figure of that generation), whereas the founders were Lefebvre, Bloch and Hauser (about the last one I also only learned from Wiki). They actually began to publish the journal you mentioned already in the 1920s (if I'm not mistaken). And they are not to be overlooked, actually I believe especially Bloch would probably deserve to be one of your "historians that changed history". Anyway, keep up the good work and Vive l'école des Annales!
@@Segnor1 Lefebvre is another historian a mistaken them aswell. And my girlfriend was thats not a person I was so happy when I told her about Georges Lefebvre
Who can I pick as the top historian scientifically? Pick one for me based on my questions even if it is personal. Just do it. It should be a theorist. Just one name While it's important to remember that selecting a single "top historian" is subjective, one influential historical theorist often considered significant is **Fernand Braudel**. Braudel is known for his work in the Annales School of historical writing, which emphasized a long-term, interdisciplinary approach to history, examining the interactions between geography, sociology, and economics. His work has had a lasting impact on historical theory and methodology. ChatGPT ♥️🌹🌹♥️
I would not say that macrohistory and microhistory are binary oppositions. Annales embraced the deep dive microhistory (eg. Le Roy Ladurie), and was against event history -which are very much not the same.
Braudel believed we are " more than waist deep in daily routine". I'd like to expand on this if I may. All humanity unquestioningly shares the same concepts : eg that light is good and darkness bad, that heaven is up and demons are down, tropes of that nature. More importantly , what constitutes justice or fair behaviour. And historically , what constitutes freedom : making a mistake on that point got Charles(1649) Strafford(1641) & Laud(1645) executed. It also led to thousands being killed in the French Revolution (1789). John Milton, a good republican, proposed (1642) government by elite-oligarchy which a pamphleteer described as "perfect slavery".
In "History Today" magazine there is a Q&A section in which one of the questions is "Braudel or Gibbon?" Phillipe Sands answered with Braudel and that led me here. Seems I might have some reading to do; I might even try it in French.
Great video, I was recently introduced to his work through Barry Cunliffe's Europe Between the Oceans, and was wondering if you could recommend anything for someone, myself, who's interested in learning more about Fernand Braudel's ideas?
It has been a year, I hope you continue this series. Of the economic historians, I would think Marx and Engles were pretty major - but were they the first to have an economic view of things? and who is the first Meme historian?
Long duree, expansive time history looking for mega trends. "Short" duree, focus on much shorter periods, more involved with episodes of history in more detail less emphasis on long term trends .

It's Lucien Febvre, not Lefebvre.

Fernand Braudel did not create the Annales-school, Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch did! Otherwise good video
Braudel led the 2nd generation of the Annales school

Oh that’s a good one. If you have more pls share with a minor like myself who just started researching about him thanks 😊

Looking forward to world systems analysis video, great video!

It would be really great if you made more videos about Braudel and annales
Sensational video, thanks for the support.
thank you for this, very helpful
Great vid, as always. Thank you for the upload.
i love the way you pronouce "bwaudel" wondering between "bro" and "bor"..with a wave of awkward puns ;)
It has been a year, I hope you continue this series.

and who is the first Meme historian?
Man, you are just in time. I've got one coming out this week. It'll be a bit different though, because it's on George F. Kennan
It would be better if the Historical Structuralism of Braudel (Long Duree- up to short duree) was explained.

great video, thanks!
is French no longer required in graduate school?
I love Braudel!!!!!
Great, though nothing too cynical about your intro!
Pronounced "histwar"... And French is a lot less weird than English for that matter. :-)
❤
"Heestwaahre". Oh, and no "sh" sound on that "ci".
ees- toir( as in boudoir), ay(as in hay)-con-om-eek, ay sew-see-al (as in Al Green) ...... :) nice job on a difficult subject.
Keşke türkçesi de olsaydı
Great video but your French accent is abysmal
he literally at 5:05 makes fun of himself for knowing zero french, so he beat you to it broseph
Histoire is pronoucned kinda like "Hisss-twwa"
Isn't it more like istwa?
@@redhippopotamus9144 yeah exactly, I just wasn't thinking cause I don't say the h
Dude can't even pronounce 'and' in french smh
