Georges Duby (1980)

Georges Duby (born October 7, 1919 in Paris , † December 3, 1996 in Aix-en-Provence ) was a French historian from the Annales School .

Life

Georges Duby was born in Paris, but attended the Lycée in Mâcon , Saone-et-Loire department. He studied in Lyon at the Faculté des Lettres and did his doctorate at the Sorbonne with Charles Edmond-Perrin with a thesis La Société aux XIe et XIIe siècles dans la région mâconnaise . He first worked at the University of Lyon in 1944.

He taught in Besançon from 1950/51 and from 1951 to 1970 at the University of Aix-Marseille . Here he read medieval history as a professor. During this time, Duby founded the Center d'études des sociétés méditerranéennes . In 1970 he moved to the Collège de France , where he retired in 1991.

Georges Duby worked on Annales magazine , which was founded in 1929 by Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch . He was a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres and, since 1987, of the Académie française (Fauteuil 26). In 1970 he was accepted as a corresponding member of the British Academy . In 1977 he became an external member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei in Rome and the American Philosophical Society .

research

His research dealt with the Middle Ages ( Medieval Studies ), especially its economic and social structure. His socio-historical approach assumes that people act within social structures that shape and often even determine their actions. He was interested in long-term developments in which he embedded individual historical events and people. His approach thus differs from the approach of historicism , as it was common before him, which can be characterized with the catchphrase 'men make history'. In his elaborations he always strived for linguistic elegance and high clarity. In the mid-1980s he increasingly turned to research into the life of “the little man”, the citizen, the peasant, the worker, and the woman. For example, in 1985 the publication “The History of Private Life” was created, for which he was awarded the Gutenberg Prize.
