François Hartog

François Hartog is a Historien French, born in 1946.

Former student of the National university, it occupies the pulpit of Historiographie ancient and modern to the École of the high studies in social sciences (EHESS) and is member of the Center Louis Gernet of research compared on the old companies and associated member of the historical Research center (CRH). In 1997, it is one of the 60 founding members of the Association of the Historians.

Raise Jean-Pierre Vernant and assiduous reader of Reinhart Koselleck, its work narrowly mixes intellectual Histoire with the ancient Greece (its thesis related to the writing of the other at Hérodote), historiography (books on Fustel de Coulanges, the writing of the history in old Greece) and study of the historical forms of temporalisation (its most recent work).

It largely contributed to the formation and the diffusion of the concept of “Régime of historicity” (cf its book éponyme) which it defines as modes of articulation of the three categories of the past, the present and the future, while speaking in terms about categories, not in the contents which one gives to each category, but categories themselves, and way in which their articulations varied according to the places and the times .
