ABSTRACT

This paper aims to examine a topography of discourses related to history in the first half of the 14th century France. In this period, faced the serious political and social crises, various political communications took place and historical interest in the secular political community was formed. In order to analyze this, it is necessary to utilize the concept of ‘field’ suggested by P. Bourdieu. It is useful for examining not only contents of text but also thier practical effects in the actual communication system. To this end, it is necessary to explore the formation process of historical field at the level of historical reality by considering the language, form, nature, and status of the text. We can witness the phenomenon of historical writings written in French prose targeting secular readers branching out from traditional church-centered historical writing in Latin. This corresponds to the contemporary mutation of written culture and reflects the interest in the issue of national identity that was remarkably emerging.
