Abstract
Algunos historiadores consideran que un libro es un hito que abre nuevas vías a la escritura de la historia, mientras que otros lo ven simplemente como el símbolo de identificación de una escuela académica. Este fue el caso de Les Rois thaumaturgues de Marc Bloch (1924), libro que algunos historiadores franceses consideran el inicio de la histoire des mentalités. El libro es un estudio de caso del toque real, un ritual medieval de curación de la enfermedad llamada scrofulae mediante la imposición de las manos de los reyes de Francia e Inglaterra. Este artículo analiza la obra de Bloch en su relación con las teorías de la llamada “realeza sagrada”, especialmente la propuesta por J.G. Frazer y con el nacimiento y desarrollo de la histoire des mentalités.
Some historians consider that a book is a milestone that opens new avenues to the writing of history, while others see it simply as the identification symbol of an academic school. This was the fate of Les Rois thaumaturgues by Marc Bloch (1924), a book that some French historians regard as the beginning of the histoire des mentalités. The book is a case study of the royal touch, a medieval ritual of healing the disease called scrofulae by touching with the hands of the kings of France and England. This article analyzes Bloch’s work in relation to the theories of the so-called “sacred kingship”, especially the one proposed by J. G. Frazer, and with the birth and development of the histoire des mentalités.
