Abstract

Excerpt from the program ‘The Historians’. Fernand Braudel defines the new history as a re-reading, an overflow of the event. For him, each historian has his own conception of history. Thus, there are ‘histographies’ though some historians remain faithful to traditional narrative. The traditional history corresponds to a series of events which follow one another. In his book ‘The Mediterranean’, he presents the history of the Mediterranean world in a geographical way. Thus, it is related to his experience as a history teacher in a high school, in Algiers. He also redefined his thesis during his captivity in Germany.
