Between these two essays, the phrase “the cultural history of representation” replaced “the social history of intellectuals”; and the “history of sensibilities”, replaced “intellectual history”. The new labels advanced a more nuanced picture of the battle between historical sociology and the history of ideas, particularly for the history of mentality or emotion. The shift also may have enhanced the reception that Wickberg’s arguments received among historians. But the two articles share the same internal logic and epistemological commitments, which informed his 1998 book The Sense of Humor. See the exchange with Barbara Rosenwein in the American Historical Review vol. 112, no. 4 (October 2007): 1313–1315.
