De l’accordéon diatonique aux pilotes du Saint-Laurent
Archaeology and Orientalism
This chapter argues that Edward Said’s conception of “orientalism” is an inadequate lens through which to understand the history of European archaeological engagements in the Near East, South Asia, and East Asia. First, Europeans did not think of the “Orient” as entirely Other; as Christians, they knew their own civilization had originated in the Near East. Second, Said does not appreciate the important relationships between oriental scholarship …
Savoirs et savoir-faire des pilotes du Saint-Laurent
En 2021, la Société québécoise d’ethnologie a obtenu une subvention du ministère de la Culture et des communications du Québec pour réaliser une recherche concernant les savoirs et savoir-faire des pilotes du Saint-Laurent. Cette recherche a permis de rassembler une importante quantité d’informations qui témoignent de la valeur exceptionnelle du pilotage sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent en tant qu’élément du patrimoine immatériel québécois. De l’époqu…

What the History of the Humanities Can, and Cannot, Learn from the History of Science
What can the history of the humanities learn from the history of science? Quite a lot. We could certainly include a much more developed inspection of humanistic practices and of the many, often previously unacknowledged, people who contributed to them. But the history of science cannot deliver for us a set of parameters that define our subject clearly, and perhaps we ought not to go too deeply into the history of practices, or combine this with t…

Validity Now
This review essay offers an extended analysis of Martin Jay's Genesis and Validity: The Theory and Practice of Intellectual History , highlighting Jay's emphasis on the need for intellectual historians to address the question of the present‐day validity of ideas. In this volume of essays on twentieth‐century philosophy and historiography, Jay contends that the perennial tension between historicism and truth value is integral to intellectual histo…
Herodotus and the Embarrassments of Universal History in Nineteenth-Century Germany
This essay surveys the reception of Herodotus’s Histories from the later eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries, showing how the increasingly vigorous critique of his first four “oriental” books made the continued practice of older forms of universal history embarrassing. Drawing a line between Herodotus’s opening and later books did not begin in the German states, but the distinction was fully developed there in the 1820s in the wake of a ma…
On Kaolin and Its Substitutes; or, The Management of Whiteness
How did European attempts to imitate the beauty of East Asian porcelain generate competitions to find marketable forms of whiteness? This essay describes the adoption of aluminum-rich kaolin clay for the making of "gallantry wares" for courtly elites—and then the process of seeking ever-cheaper substitutes as more and more consumers set their hearts on acquiring their own porcelain trinkets and tableware. It shows how, in the search for cost savi…

Périlleuses traversées en canot à glace sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent
Après avoir étudié la traversée du fleuve Saint-Laurent en canot à glace dans la région de Québec, la Société québécoise d’ethnologie a entrepris une vaste recherche visant à identifier les autres endroits où des embarcations semblables ont été utilisées pour se déplacer sur le fleuve en hiver. Cet article démontre qu’en amont de Québec, les traversées en canot d’une rive à l’autre du fleuve à travers les glaces ont fait partie de la vie de plusi…

Finding Truths among the “Lies”
This article treats the reception history of Herodotus—reputed to be both “the father of history” and “the father of lies”—between about 1670 and 1850. It focuses attention on book 2 of The Histories, in which Herodotus offers an extensive, and ostensibly firsthand, account of the monuments, geography, customs, flora, and fauna of Egypt. Most arrestingly for modern European readers, book 2 also contains descriptions of Egyptian religious practice…

Herodotus as Anti-classical Toolbox
It has become conventional among conservative ‘clash of civilization’ thinkers to assume that Greek victory in the Persian Wars constituted the founding act of western civilization, and that what Herodotus’s Histories are good for is to recount the origins of what Anthony Pagden calls the ‘perpetual enmity’ between East and West. Even many popularly oriented books written by highly respected classicists opt for sensationalizing titles that might …

Intellectual History Confronts the Longue Durée
This review of John Potts's Ideas in Time: The Longue Durée in Intellectual History discusses the advantages and disadvantages of writing intellectual histories that embrace the longue durée . It applauds Potts's concise account of historiographical discussions of continuity and discontinuity in the history of ideas in the last seventy‐five years but laments his failure to discuss the contributions of historians of science and scholarship to the …
Weighing Context and Practices
This essay argues that the history of knowledge, especially when applied to humanistic knowledge making, ought not to study practices of knowing to the exclusion of the peculiarities of individuals and the specifics of the wider contexts in which they operate. It uses the life and work of the Roman historian Theodor Mommsen as a case study, sketching first his qualities as a writer and political actor formed by the particularities of the post-Rom…
How Much Knowledge is Worth Knowing? An American Intellectual Historian's Thoughts on the Geschichte des Wissens
This essay investigates the origins and assesses the advantages and disadvantages of the new field known as Wissensgeschichte from the perspective of an American intellectual historian. It argues that while some historians of science may be ready to embrace a new identity as historians of knowledge , this terminology remains baggy and invites facile applications of Foucauldian theory. The essay concludes with the hope that the history of knowledg…
Gottfried Semper et le marché de la céramique au xixe siècle, ou comment l’industrie de la porcelaine a ignoré Der Stil
Cet essai replace Der Stil de Gottfried Semper dans le contexte où il a vécu, celui de la production de masse de biens de luxe. En nous centrant sur les manufactures de porcelaine du xixe siècle, une des « industries d’art » majeures de son époque, nous chercherons à expliquer pourquoi les recommandations formulées par Semper pour réformer l’art de la porcelaine furent à la fois profondément pertinentes et impossibles à appliquer. Contraints par …
Crossing the Great Divides
This essay discusses Hans Aarsleff's long battle to demonstrate the importance of the French and British thinkers of the mid-eighteenth century to the development of modern linguistic thought. Contesting claims that German scholars were the first to develop historicised theories of language, Aarsleff, along with his Princeton colleagues Lionel Gossman and Anthony Grafton, helped pioneer longue durée studies of the history of philology and of hist…

Enlightened Conversations
If you have never had a conversation with Tony La Vopa—and I mean a serious, four-hour conversation, in which topics range from Rousseau to the Final Four to marzipan to Kant—you have missed out on one of academia's great pleasures. Tony is one of intellectual history's most beloved conversationalists: because he knows many things, because he loves to tell stories, because he listens, because he argues. He also, incidentally, has mastered the pit…
Leo Frobenius and the Revolt against the West
Wrath', that is, the wrath of Achilles, is invoked in the first line of Homer's Iliad, and the following tale, though farcical by comparison to the tale of Achilles' adventures, should similarly open by emphasizing wrath, rage and ressentiment. Leo Frobenius (1873-1938), German ethnologist, was, of course, no Homeric hero, though he was, by his own testimony, 'brought up to be a wanderer',' and spent his whole life in motion, between Germany and …

Philhellenism and the Furor Orientalis
Focusing on the study of the ancient Orient in fin-de-siècle Germany, this essay argues that “orientalism” had a wider range of cultural consequences than the term usually evokes in studies of Western imperialism and its ideologies. The essay describes the development of a generational movement in German scholarship that was characterized by its vigorous championing of the Orient over and against the dominant tendency to isolate and exalt classic…

Souffrir pour être belle
Depuis des siècles, les femmes souffrent pour être belles. En fait, s’il est une tradition féminine qui n’a rien perdu de sa force, au contraire, c’est bien la recherche passionnée de la beauté, quelles que soient les souffrances à endurer pour y parvenir. Cet article tente d’expliquer la persistance de cette tradition en retraçant les principaux facteurs ayant contribué à accroître la dictature de la beauté féminine depuis le début du XXe siècle…

Problems and Prospects for Intellectual History
It seems rather paradoxical that an historian of classical scholarship should be expected to make a concluding contribution to the panel on future of cultural history. I am probably particularly unsuited to the task of historiographical prophecy as I stubbornly believe that theory should not be divorced from the content to which it is applied. And, as a newly enfranchised citizen of the scholarly polis, I cannot but take the auspices with the eye…

Philhellénisme et orientalisme en Allemagne
Cet article se concentre sur les relations entre l’orientalisme et les études consacrées à l’Antiquité classique dans l’Allemagne du xixe siècle. Il montre comment les deux disciplines, toutes deux descendantes de l’humanisme et de la Réforme, ont suivi des chemins différents vers 1810 et s’efforce d’établir les conséquences culturelles de leur développement différent. Démontrant les difficultés subies par les spécialistes d’orientalisme du début…
Popularizing The Orient In Fin De Siècle Germany
There has been a good deal of talk, in the years since Edward Said’s Orientalism appeared in 1978 about Europe’s ‘discourse on the Orient’. This presumably coherent set of speech acts and artistic
What did the Greeks owe the Orient?' The question we can't stop asking (even though we can't answer it)
Reviewing five recent books in German classical and oriental studies, this essay argues that the question of archaic Greece's debts to the Orient remains a particularly lively one in German-speaking Europe. Like their predecessors in previous generations, iconoclastic classicists like Walter Burkert, oriental archaeologists like Ernst Herzfeld (1879-1948) and maverick outsiders like Raoul Schrott have attacked the enraptured view of 'the Greek mi…
La cassure du continent humaniste
Cet article décrit la manière dont le continent de l’érudition humaniste s’est scindé en deux discours, l’un sur la philologie classique et l’autre sur la philologie biblique. Jusque dans les années 1740, la fonction de la philologie restait en Europe centrale essentiellement théologique ; le philosophe classique et l’exégète de la Bible coexistaient, même si ce n’était pas toujours de façon harmonieuse, dans les mêmes facultés de théologie, voir…
