• W2707447652 abstract "The history of battle was largely ignored during the years of Annaliste supremacy in France (roughly the 1930s to the 1980s). Battles were consigned to the barely-tolerated domain of ‘histoire événementielle’, their narratives at most examples of the conventions employed in the construction of outmoded nationalist narratives. Georges Duby, in his 1973 book on Bouvines, embarked on what he later called a ‘military ethnography’ of warfare and this had a major influence. Duby argued that that battle ‘only exists through what is said about it because, strictly speaking, it is constructed by those who spread its renown’. The serious study of battle history (after all, one of the most popular forms of history) has been increasingly consigned to the isolated and ignored purlieus of some universities, unless transmuted by the post-modernist rejection of ‘positivism’. Anyone who has tried to reconstruct the events of a battle will be aware of this problem, though this has not impeded generations of writers who have tried to do so. It is obvious that historians usually know the outcomes of battle; they can even in some cases estimate the reasons for victory (though this is much more problematic). What actually happened on the field in fact often puts an impossible strain on the contradictory sources. Even the topography of the battlefield is often difficult to reconcile with contemporary narratives. There is a fundamental gap between ‘what actually happens’ in a battle and the processes available for narrating it and, naturally, the further back we go those processes are so much the more formalised, if not stereotyped. Armies in the mass were probably the largest agglomerations of human beings in any one place before the nineteenth century. Their internal dynamics are therefore subject to all the usual vagaries of historical contradictions. Modern historians have approached the subject from two angles: first, the broadening out of the reconstructed narrative of battle to take account of the experiences of the rank-and-file; then, by placing battle in a context of military and social organisation. This naturally becomes more feasible as we enter the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with the depth of material available, for instance, on the First World War. We can understand more clearly that the narrative framework for classifying and describing battles already exists before the event and such encounters were narrated within that framework, which was not fixed but evolved." @default.
