Abstract

The emergence of the history of historiography is closely related to the requirement for reflection on the historian's profession. This movement aiming to review the "make history" had began in the 80's of last century. Inserting into this field of studies, the present project starts of the following general question: how was writing the History in mid-nineteenth century? In this attempt, it will take as a specific object of study the history writing of the French historian Joseph-Ernest Renan (1823-1892). Therefore, basing on the range of work that treat Renan's historiography, we can realize a recurrent and usual claim among the commentators of this historian: the reference to German writers in his writing of history. Thus, with the overall goal of understanding the conditions for the emergence of French historiography of the mid-nineteenth century, takes up the case Renan as an object to interpret the concepts and procedures that guide the writing of this author and understand the Franco-German cultural crossings emphasized by historiography. Therefore, it was establish as study's initial cutting 1848 (date of two Renan's articles publication about the history of philology and philological congress in Germany) and as late boundary, was chosen 1863 (date of publication of an article about the historic and natural sciences). Taking as privileged sources Renan's articles published on journals, this proposal also includes the study of the minutes of the institutions that Renan had been member. It starts with the assumption that this exercise can contribute to a larger knowledge about the cultural crossings between France and Germany, the nuances, tensions and possibilities that permeated the various existing written history in the nineteenth century.
