Abstract:

Biography has been for the last fifty years the stepchild of history. Drawing on the author’s personal experience as a biographer and a reader of biographies, the article considers the reasons why most historians avoid biography, examines the three unproductive forms of the genre or “no gos” to be avoided by would-be biographers, discusses the five caveats that should guide those writing biographies, and indicates the ways in which biography can be employed to advance our understanding of the past. Despite being a genre abounding in problems, biography is both viable and valuable, a useful but not a major weapon in the historian’s arsenal.

Abstract:

Abstract Biography is usually distinguished from history and, in comparison, looked down upon. R. G. Collingwood’s view of biography seems to fit this statement considering that he says it has only gossip-value and that “history it can never be”. His main concern is that biography exploits and arouses emotions which he excludes from the domain of history. In the paper I will try to show that one can salvage a more positive view of biography from within Collingwood’s work and claim that his explicit attacks against biography target specifically the sensationalist kind. First, I will show that Collingwood, in his later writings, allowed that, not only thought, but also relevant emotions can be the subject matter of history, which means that even if one takes biography to deal with emotions, it can still qualify as history. Second, I will argue, based mainly on Collingwood’s Principles of Art, that biography can be compared to portrait painting, in which case, it can be redeemed as a work of art and not just craft and, thus, have more than entertainment value. It can also be part of history, and more specifically part of the history of art which Collingwood endorses, if one takes the life of an individual, recounted by a biographer, to be an artistic creation, as Collingwood seems to suggest.

Abstract:

From the start, biography played a vibrant and significant part in the growth of women's history, especially American women's history, as a well-respected and popular field within the historical profession. The insistence of feminist biographers that the personal is political, and that attention must be paid to the daily lives of their subjects as well as to their more public achievements, continues to ripple through the field of biography as a whole. To talk about biography is also to talk about the biographer, for the precise reason that behind every biography lies autobiography—that special spark that draws the biographer to the subject in the first place and the interaction that unfolds as the project moves forward (or stalls, as often happens). As feminist theory reminds us, the personal element is relevant to the broader intellectual agenda.

Abstract:

Résumé L'importance de la biographie en histoire tient du fait que, sans elle, il serait difficile d'établir des liens entre l'homme et l'événement; selon l'auteur, c'est là ce qui, en quelque sorte, définit notre discipline. Cependant, depuis les dernières années, à cause du progrès de certaines sciences sociales telles la psychologie et la sociologie, la distinction entre histoire et biographie s'est accrue grandement et la biographie en tant que genre s'est considérablement modifiée. Ainsi, si l'on jette un coup d'oeil sur les années qui se sont écoulées depuis la deuxième guerre mondiale, l'on constate qu'au Canada français la biographie est passée d'un écrit à tendance hagiographique à une recherche fouillée et critique, puis, à une étude qui tente de plus en plus de camper un personnage dans son époque et son contexte social; de même, du côté du Canada anglais, on est passé d'une première étape où un héros ne pouvait avoir tort à une seconde où il vivait dans son époque mais sans perdre de sa stature pour finalement accéder à une troisième où sa personnalité et sa carrière étaient intégrées dans le temps. Toutefois, à peine le biographe historien avait-il relevé le défi de l'intégration de son personnage dans une époque donnée qu'il était aux prises avec un nouveau défi, soit celui de la nouvelle tendance en littérature qui s'intéresse maintenant à une psycho-biographie toute concentrée sur la vie intérieure du sujet. Est-ce donc à dire que la biographie historique telle qu'on la connaît n'a plus sa place et qu'il lui faille trouver de nouvelles avenues ? Brown, pour sa part, estime que la biographie est un genre « en soi » qui a besoin de toutes les lumières que peuvent apporter tant la psychologie que la sociologie et l'histoire sociale; de plus, il considère que le biographe se doit de rapporter minutieusement et de façon la plus littéraire qui soit toutes les informations qu'il a pu glaner sur la vie tant privée que publique de son personnage. Sans la biographie, considère-t-il, il ne peut y avoir de « dialectique constante entre l'individu et la société« et cette dialectique est un élément essentiel dans toute recherche historique.

Abstract:

Abstract:This paper charts the rise and transformation of biography as a form of Africanist history writing. Biography in African history, as in other fields, has included attention to nationalist heroes as well as the lives of slaves, women, and other subalterns. Recently, some Africanist historians have embraced transnational life histories, particularly those situated in the “black Atlantic” of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some themes, methods, and limitations of such biographies are discussed in relation to the author’s own project on a nineteenth century immigrant to West Africa.

Abstract:

Traditional histories of higher education institutions tend to be academic histories or photo essays. This article describes another approach, “institutional biography” narrated with extensive oral history interviews of faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and emeriti. Using University of La Verne’s institutional biography as illustration, the article suggests not only that a richer institutional history will result, but that significant but often overlooked trends will emerge, such as the daily lives of students. YouTube examples are provided to demonstrate that institutional biography is public history in significant ways. Finally, the article shows how institutional biography may uncover comparative information useful for studying the general history of higher education.

Abstract:

The nature of the surviving evidence subjects biographers of medieval figures to certain difficulties. As a case in point, my biography of Edward I was more a history of the reign than a study of the king alone, though documents provided clues about his character. Although a number of biographical studies have led to significant advances in understanding the history of medieval England during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the lives of kings and queens, as well as nobles and bishops, dominate the field simply because information about the lives of people in less grandiose positions is severely limited. There is a market for popular books about medieval figures, but these biographies do little more than tell a good story.

Abstract:

The paper traces the ordinary—yet extraordinary—life story of a Bedouin woman, Amneh, in historic Southern Palestine from the 1930s to the 1970s. Amneh’s oral narratives and memories combine the personal and the political, drawing a picture of the lives that the often forgotten Palestinian Bedouin population of the South lived before, during and after theNakba, the Palestinian Catastrophe of 1948. Her counter-narrative challenges and complicates the hegemonic settler-colonial, ethno-nationalist, elite and male-dominated historiography of the region, and confirms her as an historical actor who finds her ways through difficult social, political, economic and cultural constraints. Although unique, her story is not exceptional, nor is it representative of ‘Bedouin women of the Naqab’. Rather, it offers a lens through which the much more intricate and messy historical realities in the Naqab can be unfolded. As such, Amneh’s biography, as told by her, is also telling of the wider social and political dynamics, relations and events in the region at the time.

Abstract:

The article presents an analysis of Freud’s early biography written by Isidor Isaak Sadger, one of his earliest students. The author argues that Sigmund Freud. Persönliche Erinnerungen bonds together different literary genres such as biography, autobiography and pathography, thus allowing for studying the impact of life-writing literature on psychoanalysis. The first part of the article is devoted to the relation between introspection, auto-analysis and everyday writing practices of Freud and his students. In the second part, the author presents unknown facts from Sadger’s history in the psychoanalytic movement and reads his biography as an example of a heterogeneous literary genre where he becomes a writer-biographer and a doctor-autobiographer simultaneously.
