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.
