Historical parallels, analogies, anachronisms and metaphors to the
past play a crucial role in political speeches, historical
narratives, iconography, movies and newspapers on a daily basis.
They frame, articulate and represent a specific understanding of
history and can be used not only to construct but also to rethink
historical continuity. Almost-forgotten or sleeping history can be
revived to legitimize an imagined future in a political discourse
today. History can hardly be neutral or factual because it depends
on the historian's, as well the people's, perspective as to what
kind of events and sources they combine to make history meaningful.
Analysing historical analogies - as embedded in narratives and
images of the past - enables us to understand how history and
collective memory are managed and used for political purposes and
to provide social orientation in time and space. To rethink
theories of history, iconology and collective memory, the authors
of this volume discuss a variety of cases from Hong Kong, China and
Europe.
