Learning from history is never simply a one-way process. To learn about the present in the light of the past means also to learn about the past in the light of the present. The function of history is to promote a profounder understanding of both past and present through the interrelation between them. - E.H. Carr 'What Is History?'

The “longue durée” is an approach to history that transcends individual events. In this video, I unpack Fernand Braudel’s insights on how history unfolds across three layers of time: an event-based, a social, and the deep, slow-moving “longue durée”. Learn how our choices are influenced by long-term structures and how this interplay enriches our understanding of both past and present. From the symbolism of the heart to the formation of collective identities, this video offers a fresh perspective on the forces that shape our world. 

Thanks Ilan Pappe for narrating history, accurately and clearly.
