Theories of History: History Read across the Humanities de Dr. Michael J. Kelly

Theories of History: History Read across the Humanities

Editat de Dr. Michael J. Kelly, Dr Arthur Rose
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 noi 2019
This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched.In a unique approach to historical representations, the central question of this book is 'what is history?' By describing 'history' through its supplementary function to the field of history, rather than the ground of a study, this collection considers new insights into historical thinking and historiography across the humanities. It fosters engagement from around the disciplines in historical thinking and, from that, invites historians and philosophers of history to see clearly the impact of their work outside of their own specific fields, and encourages deep reflection on the role of historical production in society. As such, Theories of History opens up for the first time a truly cross-disciplinary dialogue on history and is a unique intervention in the study of historical representation. Essays in this volume discuss music history, linguistics, theater studies, paintings, film, archaeology and more. This book is essential reading for those interested in the practice and theories of history, philosophy, and the humanities more broadly. Readers of this volume are not only witness to, but also part of the creation of, radical new discourses in and ways of thinking about, doing and experiencing history.

Recenzii

The contributions are invariably thought provoking . [For] those in the field and interested in the theory of history it is a rewarding read and a valuable contribution on multiple levels.
Theories of History: History read across the Humanities is a major achievement in more than one sense. It instigates thinking about history form a refreshingly new perspective, inspired by the work of Alain Badiou, and staring from the following preamble: History is not about finding or creating truths; truths find history. The book raises all the right questions, to which it provides a truly engaging and genuinely collective response.
This intellectually elegant collection of essays explores the complexities of historical theory as it applies to the humanities, broadly conceived. Its learned contributors examine the implications of historical theory to events, musical interpretation, art as a form of "visual writing," the contexts and rhetorics of conceptions of time, and the implications of imposing boundaries between the past, present, and future, among other absorbing topics. A collective work of erudition, insight, and scholarly imagination, Theories of History neatly challenges disciplinary boundaries. It will reward attentive readers in every humanistic field.
In a series of case studies and theoretical reflections from across the humanities-from archaeology to law to rhetoric-the book gives a vivid snapshot of the most progressive thinking on history today. And if, in its editors' conviction of the power of Alain Badiou's 'evental' vision of history, we seem to approach a theology (rather than a philosophy) of history, the book is exemplary in its attention to the diverse contexts in which history emerges as a vital profession and invigorating problem.
