Abstract
This paper addresses the question of the shift towards a new "regime of historicity" and posits that the triumphant moment of a paradigm that succeeded in unifying all the social sciences, structuralism, occurred in the 1960s. Its success was due to several factors: the rise of the figure of the other on the historical stage, embodied by people from the third world who fought for their independence and rejected the western transplant. It was also due to the crisis of revolutionary eschatologies stemming from the discoveries of the Gulag. The result is a fallback on scientism, a radical challenge of a western-centered telos, and a dismissal of all forms of temporal logic. Thus, Clio is temporarily exiled and historians themselves are turning towards long time frames, opting for an almost static time.
