Has the new history from Marc Bloc on contributed to historical understanding, or detracted from it? Has recent emphasis on "multicultural" approaches to history, gender approaches, etc been a fulfillment of the approach of the new historians, or a departure from their path?

Not sure what multicultural approaches that would be, but I'm not enough into the Annales school to know if the two currents of historiography you mentioned fulfill their approach or not. The feminist one does appear a child of it, the multicultural one of a totally different kind though. But as I said, I don't know enough of it to comment.
