The Impact of History?: Histories at the Beginning of the 21st Century de Pedro Ramos Pinto

The Impact of History?: Histories at the Beginning of the 21st Century

Autor Pedro Ramos Pinto, Bertrand Taithe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 2015
Driven by the increasing importance of discussions around 'impact' and its meaning and implications for history, The Impact of History? brings together established and new voices to raise relevant questions, issues and controversies for debate. The chapters are articulated around the themes of public history, the politics of history, the role of history in the shaping of learning and the situation of history in the changing world of education. While this subject is driven differently by the research bodies and councils of different countries, similar debates about the value and place of the academy in society are taking place in the UK, the USA and Europe as well as in other parts of the world.
Chapters cover diverse areas of history from this perspective including:
  • public history
  • national histories
  • new technologies and the natural sciences
  • campaigning histories
  • the impact agenda.
This collection is a political and intellectual intervention at a time when scholars and readers of history are being asked to explain why history matters and it seeks to intervene in the debates on ‘impact’, on education and on the role of the past in the shaping of our future. Bringing together leading authors from a wide range of fields, The Impact of History? is an accessible and engaging yet polemical and thought-provoking overview of the role of history in contemporary society.

Recenzii

"This book is history here, now and out loud. It buzzes, capturing the energy and discomforts of making history in a world where more is said about the past outside of universities than in."
Marnie Hughes-Warrington, Australian National University, Australia
"This is an original, timely and thought-provoking intervention into contemporary discussions on the 'impact' of academic history, and into broader debates about the value of the humanities. The editors have assembled a strong cast of contributors who write accessibly and authoritatively. Essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of history."
Patrick Finney, Aberystwyth University, UK
