The 2016 Dan David Prize Laureates in the Three Time Dimensions are:
Past Time Dimension – Social History – New Directions
Prof. Inga Clendinnen is an outstanding historian focusing on social history and the history of cultural encounters in the early modern period. Her innovative work has a transnational perspective and examines populations in situations of extreme violence. Prof. Clendinnen’s studies on the oppression of the Maya, on the Aztecs and on the Holocaust, have used the craft of the anthropologist to describe violence’s cultural origin, conduct and consequences.
Prof. Arlette Farge has expanded the meaning of social history and changed it. She engaged in women’s history, urban history, and the history of crime and its policing and control, as well as the history of literacy. Focusing on the margins of society, such as the poor, small artisans, women and children and petty criminals, not only as social groups, but also as individuals,she redefined the craft of social historians and their uses of their sources and archives.
Prof. Catherine Hall has had a signal impact on social history in two fields: gender history and the history of empires. Prof. Hall, who was actively involved in the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s, is one of the pioneers of gender history. She redefined the relationship between gender and family, and the manner in which gendered identities shaped ethnicity, religion and class. Her studies of slavery and abolition have pointed at the depth and scope of the legacies of slavery in societies across the globe.
Present Time Dimension – Combatting Poverty

Prof. Arlette Farge
Prof. Arlette Farge is a Professor at the Center for historical research, Paris. She has expanded the meaning of social history and changed it. She engaged in women’s history, urban history, and the history of crime and its policing and control, as well as the history of literacy. Focusing on the margins of society, such as the poor, small artisans, women and children and petty criminals, not only as social groups, but also as individuals, she redefined the craft of social historians and their uses of their sources and archives.
Farge is a creative archives historian. She is a historian of voices and the ways in which “voice becomes an event”, of visual materials and of the interplay between words, images and things. Her book The Allure of the Archives demonstrates the historian’s connections with documents; it is about epistemology and social history of the archives themselves.
Over the course of her productive career, she has published more than 30 books (written or edited), as well as dozens of articles in journals such as Annales: E.S.C.; French Politics, Culture, and Society; Ethnologie Française; and Le Mouvement Social.
