Abstract

If the study of its opponents opens new perspectives on Annales itself, as this book contends, then it would be perverse to close with a conclusion, as if heralding a new arrival; rather, because the finding also announces a new departure in understanding Annales, a passage of more or less independent character, a coda, ruminating on the period after 1970 and the issues revealed here, may better intimate the future reverberations of this historiographical phase. For there is nothing to suggest that interest in the Annales is now receding, still less that historians can ignore its imprint when they look across time and space at the state of their art.
