Henri Hauser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri Hauser (born July 19, 1866 in Oran , Algeria, † May 27, 1946 in Montpellier ) was a French historian and economist .

In 1870 his parents moved to Paris, where Hauser studied at the École normal supérieure . After his doctorate he taught from 1893 at the University of Clermont-Ferrand History of Antiquity and the Middle Ages, from 1903 at the University of Dijon modern history and geography. From 1919 to 1936 he was professor of economic history at the Sorbonne , from 1927 on a chair created for him . He also taught at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers from 1915 , and from 1918 to 1933 he held the chair of commercial and industrial geography here. After his retirement he became head of research at the Center national de la recherche scientifique .

Hauser held visiting professorships at Harvard University (1923) and Leiden University (1930), received several honorary doctorates and was a member of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences . Due to the anti-Jewish legislation of the Vichy regime , he and his family withdrew to Montpellier in 1940 , where he continued teaching and only escaped deportation thanks to the support of friends.

Hauser tried to make the social and economic sciences fruitful for historiography, but remained skeptical of the application of statistical methods, which differentiated him from the then emerging Annales school . Its founder, Marc Bloch, followed him to his chair at the Sorbonne in 1936. In addition to his research on the early modern period , he always analyzed current political and economic developments, especially in Germany.
