  • Two Contrasting French Approaches to Historiography

    Open AccessGeorg G IggersARTICLEHistory and Theory2014

    This essay reviews two books in the French Que Sais-je? series by Charles-Olivier Carbonell in 1981 and by Nicolas Offenstadt in 2011 on the topic of historiography. Offenstadt's volume is intended to bring Carbonell's up to date, but goes in very different directions. There is general agreement among historians that a fundamental reorientation has taken place in historical thought and writing in the past half century, about which quite a bit has…

  • FRANK ANKERSMIT. Meaning, Truth, and Reference in Historical Representation

    Georg G Iggers, G IggersARTICLEThe American Historical Review2013

    This book sets out to examine and clarify certain concepts basic to historical writing, “meaning, truth, and reference in historical representation” (p. ix). Frank Ankersmit moves away from his earlier epistemological relativism, which held that history could never capture the past, that the past was a construct of language, and that the question of truth or falsity was irrelevant, to arrive at a position that no longer denies a past reality but …

  • Historiography between Scholarship and Poetry: Reflections on Hayden White's Approach to Historiography

    Georg G IggersARTICLERethinking History2000Cited by: 6References: 3

    The paper critically examines the radical epistemological relativism of Hayden White's thought from the structural approach to historical narration in Metahistory (1973) to what White characterizes as his 'post-Saussurian' or semiological turn. There are two basic premises on which White and I agree, that history in contrast to literature requires a factual basis and that any attempt to go from historical 'facts' to an historical account involves…

  • Historicism: The History and Meaning of the Term

    Georg G IggersARTICLEJournal of the History of Ideas1995Cited by: 9

    In the last few years a considerable number of books and articles have appeared in Germany, the United States, and Italy on the topic of historicism. There is, however, no consensus in this literature on the meaning of the term. 1 Thus three very different discussions have been carried on simultaneously, pursuing different themes and only occasionally intersecting. A number of writings have dealt with the so-called crisis of in the context of the…

  • New Directions in Historical Studies in the German Democratic Republic

    Georg G IggersARTICLEHistory and Theory1989

    It should be made clear from the outset that this article does not intend to present a survey of present-day work in the GDR. Rather it examines two important areas in modern political and social history in which historians in the GDR have begun to enter an ongoing dialogue with scholars in the West. For many years there was relatively little contact between historical scholarship in the socialist countries and the West and particularly the two G…
