Abstract

In “Everyman His Own Historian” US historian Carl L. BeckerBecker, Carl L. sought to show that there is a continuity between the cognitive practice of the historian and that of the common man. I will try here to illustrate some steps of his argument, grounded in the distinction between two series under which historyhistory presents itself, and then comment very briefly on some of his assertions. Then, beginning with BeckerBecker, Carl L.’s main ideas, I will focus on the old theory of reviviscencereviviscence and discuss the modes of presentification one finds in history and the novelliteraturenovel. The discussion intends to shed some light on the role played by the hallucinationhallucinationof the past of the past in the foundation of historical knowledge.
