  Historiography and the Republican Civil Religion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The durable symbol of this dual status of French historiography remains Ernest Lavisse, at once the orchestrator of history’s reconstitution as a university discipline and the author of primers in history and civics for schoolchildren.
A shift began with the methodological and disciplinary quarrel that pitted the positivists Langlois and Seignobos against the Durkheimian François Simiand.
Simiand had said that historical science could not be based on singular historical facts but only on series of comparable historical facts; Furet, by contrast, insisted that the mise en histoire of a singular event could be based only on series of comparable interpretations of that event.

In addition to geography, there was Durkheim's sociological approach, interpreted for the Annales historians by his student, the economist Francois Simiand.
Francois Furet since the mid-1970s has turned to a history of the French Revolution that rejects Marxist categories of class and stresses politics, ideas, and culture.
What remains distinctive of Annales writings on the modern and contemporary world is their focus on culture and symbols to make modern political traditions comprehensible, as in the volumes of Les Lieux des memoires (I984-86), a collaborative work on the symbols, monuments, and shrines of modern French national consciousness.

 From Paris to Perth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Nowhere was this more evident than in France in 1903, when economist Francois Simiand published his famous article attacking historians’ slavish attention to "three idols." He highlighted historians’ obsession with political events (the political idol); the stories of great men (the individual idol); and studies of origins (the chronological idol) (Burke, 1990).
Simiand’s criticisms strongly influenced the development of Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre, leading them to seek a new, more socially and culturally relevant approach to the study of history.
This approach was formalised with the publication of their journal Annales d’histoire économique et sociale in 1929, and the subsequent development of an Annales School of historical thought.

 The Année Sociologique Circle: II. Social History
Célestin Bouglé (1870-1940), on the other hand, had met with Durkheim in Paris in April of 1896, when he may have suggested to Durkheim the idea of having a journal and possibly even provided the name (Besnard, 1983:12).
Still, even some of the central members of the circle disagreed with what was perhaps Durkheim’s central tenet: that the social sphere exists on a different level from individual (psychological) reality, and that social aspects of reality precedes individual aspects in importance.
Simiand, for example, as the first volume of the Année was being prepared, referred to this idea as "sociological metaphysics" (qtd.

 Annales School
The movement was also defined as a form of structural situationism, in its first phase these historians criticised the positivist school which concentrated on the analysis of short periods, adopted a traditional narrative of events and analysed history almost exclusively from the political-military point of view.
The founding fathers of the Annales school mainly comprised of economic historians who rebelled against traditional historians’ idola, identified by François Simiand as: political idol: their obsession with wars and states; individual idol: their obsession with great men; chronological idol: their obsession with looking at development as linear.
[François Simiand was a philosopher and economist who greatly inspired the historians of the Annales School.

Much of Durkheim's career was devoted to recruiting and training a profoundly influential body of followers who published in the journal he founded, L'Annee Sociologique.
His aim was to promote his position through research in a wide range of subjects by such disciples as Marcel Mauss, Marcel Granet, Georges Davy, Robert Hertz, Francois Simiand, Maurice Halbwachs, and others.
As a result, Durkheim's influence is deeply felt not only in modern sociology but also in anthropology, linguistics, sinology, law, classics, religion, and historiography.

 H-France Reviews
Although Noiriel argues throughout his book for a more collegial, less polemical tone in French academic life, his essays on French thinkers have a critical edge, justifying the “penser contre” in his title.
A chapter on François Simiand, one of the ancestors of the Annales tradition, sees the aggressive tone in which Simiand castigated the “traditional” historians of his day as anticipating the battles that have marked French philosophy and historiographical debate ever since.
Marc Bloch comes off better: Noiriel praises the constructive terms in which he engaged with the work of other scholars, and Bloch’s concentration on issues of historical practice rather than philosophy.

The original controversy was a family quarrel among scholars in the same French tradition.
Baehrel, like the others, was steeped in the seminal work of earlier quantifiers, especially Francois Simiand and Ernest Labrousse, which had appeared in 1932-3.
Like them, he focused on agricultural fluctuations as the main strand in long-term economic trends.

 Durkheim's sociology, Simiand's positive political economy and the German historical school
In the light of such context, the way Emile Durkheim and François Simiand interpreted the contribution of the German historical school is worth considering.
Following Durkheim's sociological approach, Simiand occupies center stage when it comes to examining how much this historical method has to offer to 'positive political economy' considered as an alternative to 'orthodox political economy' and to the new conception of economic history which was finding its way through the Annales ' school.
