Through questions such as 'What is power?', 'How are revolutions
generated?', 'Does public opinion really exist?', 'What does
terrorism mean?' and 'When are generations created?', Words in Time
scrutinizes the fundamental concepts by which we confer meaning to
the historical and social world and what they actually signify,
analysing their formation and use in modern thought within both
history and the social sciences. In this volume, Francesco Benigno
examines the origins and development of the words we use,
critiquing the ways in which they have traditionally been employed
in historical thinking and examining their potential usefulness
today. Rather than being a general inventory or a specialized
dictionary, this book analyses a selection of words particularly
relevant not only in the idiom and jargon of the social sciences
and history, but also in the discourse of ordinary people.
Exploring new trends in the historical field of reflection and
representing a call for a new, more conscious, historical approach
to the social world, this is valuable reading for all students of
historical theory and method.
