This book introduces a new way of looking at the writing of
history. Rather than as the production of knowledge or the telling
of stories, it sees writing history as an ethical, existential and
emotional engagement with the people from the past. The conceptual
and philosophical basis for this view is provided by the philosophy
of Emmanuel Levinas. In the first part, the view is presented and
contrasted with other, competing views, such as those of Hans-Georg
Gadamer and Michel Foucault. In the second part, the view is argued
for, most importantly by an in-depth discussion of one specific
tradition of history-writing (microhistory), and a series of close
readings of several classical works from the history of
historiography. The third part, finally, explores some of the
methodological consequences of this view, and applies it to a
non-academic way of dealing with the past, namely historical
performance practice in music. The book features a foreword by
Frank Ankersmit.
