The writing and historiographical production of Jacques Le Goff pursued in the
present work focuses on the time period when the Annales journal changed course,
following the essential contributions of Fernand Braudel. This article discusses
the work of Le Goff after the cultural shift of the late sixties, when he departed
from the Ecole des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales and created the Groupe
d’Anthropologie historique de l’Occident Medieval. Changes and innovations
found in New History are a reflection and expression of the place from where Le Goff
wrotes. Within the search for a medieval humanism that transformed alongside
historical anthropology, we hold that the logic of Le Goff’s writing was a permanent
dialogue between, on the one hand, an innovation stemming from its immediate
contingency and, on the other hand, the past, and innovations of tradition.
