Annales. Histoire, Sciences Sociales is a Frenchacademic journal coveringsocial history that was established in 1929 byMarc Bloch andLucien Febvre. The journal gave rise to an approach to history known as theAnnales School. The journal began inStrasbourg asAnnales d'histoire économique et sociale, but moved toParis in 1929 and kept the same name from 1929 to 1939. It was successively renamedAnnales d'histoire sociale (1939–1942, 1945),Mélanges d'histoire sociale (1942–1944),Annales. Economies, sociétés, civilisations (1946–1994), and, finally,Annales. Histoire, Sciences Sociales in 1994.[1][2] In 2013 it began publication of an English language edition, with all the articles translated.
The scope of topics covered by the journal is wide, but the emphasis is on social history and long-term trends (longue durée), often using quantification and paying special attention togeography[3] and to the intellectual world view of common people, or"mentality" (mentalité). Less attention is paid to political, diplomatic, or military history, or to biographies of famous men. Instead, theAnnales focused attention on the synthesizing of historical patterns identified from social, economic, and cultural history, statistics, medical reports, family studies, and even psychoanalysis.[1][2] It is one of the main French outlets for research inhistorical anthropology.
In 2017 theEHESS formed a partnership withCambridge University Press to publish both the French and English editions of theAnnales.[4] English articles are now published in FirstView.[5]
