History Of Mentalities
The history of mentalities or ''histoire des mentalités'' ( French; ) is the body of historical works aimed at describing and analyzing the ways in which people of a given time period thought about, interacted with, and classified the world around them, as opposed to the history of particular events, or economic trends. The history of mentalities has been used as a historical tool by several historians and scholars from various schools of history. Notably, the historians of the ''Annales'' School helped to develop the history of mentalities and construct a methodology from which to operate. In establishing this methodology, they sought to limit their analysis to a particular place and a particular time. This approach lends itself to the intensive study that characterizes microhistory, another field which adopted the history of mentalities as a tool of historical analysis. History ''Annales'' The origin of the concept of a history of mentalities lies in the writings of the ''1s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
