Names of History

21. In the last twenty or thirty years, it has been asked a lot whether history consists of a number of narratives, especially some narratives about "great names" such as Napoleon or Suleiman the Magnificent. Jacques Rancière examines the discourse of historians from different perspectives: He examines the style and narrative techniques of historians such as Jules Michelet, Fernand Braudel and members of the Annales school and EP Thompson in terms of political and scientific philosophies; It discusses the relationship between historiography and language and literature. Rancière calls this stylistic analysis, which creates a brand new field of research, "poetics of knowledge". Representing such an original process of thought, research and criticism, Names of History is one of Rancière's most special books. It is a text that we expect will be read with curiosity by the devoted followers of the philosopher, as well as by readers who are interested in historiography and philosophy of history, and the discourse and method problems of social sciences.
