This article analyses the relationship between History and Social Sciences, investigating over a century of conceptual and institutional conflicts and reciprocities between them. The text draws as a debate that culminates in structuralist anthropology, which, led by Lévi-Strauss, rethinks the confrontations between methodical history and Durkheim’s sociology, through the combats for history of the Annales’ founders. Over the last decades, the increasing proximity between history and anthropology has revived the debate, culminating in the recent reflections about the identity of history and its openness towards other human sciences, both in the tradition of "total history", and in recent micro-analytic approaches.
