| Abstract: | Why do we start with Fernand Braudel ( 1902-85) when we introduce the natural environment? More than others, this French historian has challenged the concept of history as an inventory of individuals and the narrative of their deeds.According to him, the essence and most decisive innovation of his approach to history was that 'of transcending the individual and the particular event'. This meant uncovering the impersonal forces that fashioned people and their lives. It was a slow-moving history, nothing to do with the dramatic events that were the traditional subject-matter of history. Braudel's choice followed his consideration. |
