  CJO - Abstract - Lucien Febvre, Ecclesiastical Historian?
The aim of this article is to place this famous article in context by examining Febvre's main contributions to the history of the Church, or as he preferred to say, the history of religion.
Lucien Febvre (1878–1956) was a prolific writer and, although he has not been studied as intensively as his junior colleagues Marc Bloch and Fernand Braudel, his scholarly work has often been discussed.
Since the history of religion was one of Febvre's main interests, it follows that this article will have to be rigorously selective, discussing his major contributions to the field together with a few studies of his achievement.

Lucien Febvre, who was now employed a professor of history at Collège de France, visited South America in 1937.
Febvre became something of an intellectual adviser and confidant to Braudel, who, in his new work at the École Pratique des Hautes Études attempted to depart from traditional event-based historiography to focus more on economic and social history in a long-term perspective.

 Lucien Febvre - Wikipédia
Lucien Febvre (Nancy, 22 juillet 1878 - Saint-Amour (Jura), 1956) est un historien français qui a eu une forte influence sur l'évolution de cette discipline notamment à travers l'École des Annales qu'il a fondée avec Marc Bloch.
Lucien Febvre veut inscrire l’histoire dans le champ des sciences sociales, en brisant l’esprit de spécialité, en promouvant la pluridisciplinarité, favorisant ainsi l’union des sciences humaines.
Febvre recommande également de ne pas isoler les paliers de la réalité sociale, mais de mettre en évidence leurs interactions.

 Febvre, Lucien - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Febvre, Lucien
His pupil Fernand Braudel became the leading exponent of the Annales school, of which Febvre and Bloch were the pioneers.
Drawing on research in social psychology and human geography, and influenced by the anthropologist and philosopher Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Febvre developed the idea of ‘collective mentalities’ that went beyond individual thinkers, their beliefs and values and that differed from age to age.
For much of his career Febvre was a professor at Strasbourg University and then president of the VIth section of the Ecole Practique des Hautes Etudes in Paris, now the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales.

Intellectual biographies of scholars such as Lucien Febvre who are central to the growth of a discipline have commonly determined the thought of their subjects through historical legacies of books and major articles.
Febvre was thus not so much assaulting the old Dreyfusards’ linkage of professionalism and social responsibility, as he was demanding historical writing with a distanciation critique from the state that proved its social relevance through modern techniques, research areas, and ideas.
Febvre’s proposal could not be undertaken, unfortunately, as the Revue had ceased publication during the war and would not reappear until 1926.

 Rural Society in France
Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre, two historians of remarkable breadth, are probably best remembered for their pioneering work in rural history and collective mentalities.
Lucien Febvre's short essay, entitled "Man or Productivity," is perhaps even more appropriate to our own time than it was to his, three decades ago.
Febvre was concerned that in our obsession with economic growth and the efficiency of labour and capital, we might lose sight of the village community as a special way of life in which "production" may not be the primary value.

Most importantly, Febvre and Martin analyze the affect that the unique pressures of print as a capitalist enterprise (the capital investment in type, the costs of paper and of labor, problems in transport and marketing) had on the development of standardized print-languages, the development of 'mass' culture, and the spread and evolving functions of literacy.
Lucien Febvre and Jean-Henri Martin have integrated careful archival research with a lively recounting of history which transcends individual rulers in this account of early printing.

Febvres große Leistung erblickt Niewöhner darin, den Atheismus der Renaissance als "modernen Mythos" entlarvt zu haben, und gezeigt zu haben, dass der Rabelais vorgeworfene Atheismus letztlich "bloße denunziatorische Rhetorik" war.

 Discuter:François Rabelais - Wikipédia
Lucien Febvre nous montre en effet que Rabelais ne pouvait pas être athée du fait qu’on ne disposait pas à l’époque du vocabulaire nécessaire ni des concepts scientifiques pour exprimer clairement une telle idée.
Ce n'est pas Lucien Febvre qui vous aurait contredite : on ne cessait d'accuser d'athéisme ses adversaires, il était élémentaire de lancer cette flèche dans toute discussion.
Ce qui est remis en cause dans les travaux de Febvre est sa définition trop restrictive de l'athéisme, qui conduit à rassembler dans un même fourre-tout d'hétérodoxes des blasphémateurs et des athées.

I would become a historian, the kind of historian Febvre imagined—had to imagine, because the kind of history he had in mind did not exist as yet.
Actually, I thought Febvre had already come pretty close to inventing that new kind of history with the publication, way back in 1912, of his dissertation under the title of Philippe II et la Franche-Comté.
Febvre reached the conviction, earlier than most, that the emergence of totalitarian movements, including the Soviet variety, was the most critical issue of his time.

In 1949 Lucien Febvre seemed prepared to pass on the legacy of the Annales to the next generation.
Febvre’s school – although it had ceased to be an actual school after Febvre and Bloch left Strasbourg in the mid-1930s – was aggressively interdisciplinary, bringing a range of social sciences to bear on historical subjects.
Braudel’s accomplishment, from Febvre’s perspective, was not simply one of time, the longue durée.

 | Worrying about Emotions in History | The American Historical Review, 107.3 | The History Cooperative
When Febvre called for histories of emotions in 1941, he was not so much repudiating the political focus of history as recognizing something that, perhaps, only the Nazis could have brought home to a Frenchman: politics itself is not rational, not unemotional.
Febvre's ideas are important because the small number of historians who have been interested in emotions habitually invoke him as the prophet crying in the wilderness, the man who saw the light but had few followers.
Febvre was calling for moral history, history that would explain fascism and reveal the principles on which a more rational order could be constructed.

Lucien Febvre (1878–1956), neben Marc Bloch (1886–1944) Gründungsvater der Annales-Schule, also jener Bewegung französischer Historiker, die seit 1929 mit ihrer gleichnamigen Zeitschrift Generationen von Intellektuellen beeinflusste, war ein Meister der Darstellung: Was wie ein Nörgeln an seinen Vorgängern beginnt, entwickelt sich zur großen Abhandlung, ob denn „Atheismus“ im 16.
Aber was nach knochentrockener Philologie klingt, ist in Febvres Arbeit über Rabelais ein Feuerwerk an Ideen, Reflexionen, Bildern.
Febvres Credo, der Historiker müsse sich hüten, „den modernen Begriff von Wissenschaft auf das Denken unserer Ahnen zu projizieren“, wurde immer mehr zum leeren Schlachtruf eines Predigers, dem viele Schüler folgten.
