Summary Of "Historiographical Discourse" By Authier & Romeu: UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES

By MAURICIO ENRIQUE FAU

We have summarized the essential of this book by the author.

Historiographical discourse: explanation, argumentation, ideological implication.
The product of historical work is a verbal structure, in the form of a prose narrative discourse, which attempts to be a model of past processes and structures, whose representation serves to explain them. This work is an attempt to identify the structural components of this discourse.
Considering the historical works as verbal structures, they can account for the same data, using conceptual apparatuses with totally different formal characteristics.
In a historical work, the following levels of conceptualization can be distinguished: a) chronicle, b) history, c) intrigue, d) argumentation and e) ideological implication.
Chronicle and history constitute a first level of conceptualization, the "'primitive" elements in historical discourse, since both represent processes of selection and ordering of data taken from an unprocessed historical record. The elements of the historical field constitute a chronicle when the events are ordered taking into account the time line of occurrence. The chronicle is organized as a story when the facts are treated as parts of a process in which an origin, middle and end are proposed; the facts, at the same time, are hierarchical and assigned a specific function.
At a second level of conceptualization, the relationship between a given story and other stories that could be identified in the chronicle is raised. This level includes the explanation by: a) intrigue, b) argumentation and c) ideological implication.

5.2. Historiographical discourse: explanation, argumentation, ideological implication

The product of historical work is a verbal structure, in the form of a prose narrative discourse, which attempts to be a model of past processes and structures, whose representation serves to explain them. This work is an attempt to identify the structural components of this discourse.

Considering the historical works as verbal structures, they can account for the same data, using conceptual apparatuses with totally different formal characteristics.

In a historical work, the following levels of conceptualization can be distinguished: a) chronicle, b) history, c) intrigue, d) argumentation and e) ideological implication.

Chronicle and history constitute a first level of conceptualization, the 'primitive elements in historical discourse, since both represent processes of selection and ordering of data taken from an unprocessed historical record. The elements of the historical field constitute a chronicle when the events are ordered taking into account the time line of occurrence. The chronicle is organized as a story when the facts are treated as parts of a process in which an origin, middle and end are proposed; the facts, at the same time, are hierarchical and assigned a specific function.

At a second level of conceptualization, the relationship between a given story and other stories that could be identified in the chronicle is raised. This level includes the explanation by: a) intrigue, b) argumentation and c) ideological implication.

1. Explanation by intrigue

It consists of discovering the meaning of a story, identifying the type of story that has been used. At least four different modes of intrigue can be identified: novel, tragedy, comedy, and satire.

• novel: every story, even the most synchronous or structural, has some kind of intrigue. The novel is fundamentally a self-identifying intrigue symbolized by the hero's transcendence, his victory over the world, and his final liberation from it. It is a drama of the triumph of good over evil.

• satire: opposite to the novel. It is history dominated by the concept that man is a captive of the world, rather than the driver of it; and by the recognition that in the final analysis, human consciousness and will are inadequate to overcome the dark forces of death.

• comedy and tragedy: both suggest the possibility of a partial liberation from the fallen condition and a provisional overcoming of the state in which man finds himself. But the reconciliation that occurs at the end of the comedy is healthy, pure; and the reconciliation that occurs at the end of the tragedy
