This volume considers how the act through which historians
interpret the past can be understood as one of epistemological and
cognitive translation. The book convincingly argues that words,
images, and historical and archaeological remains can all be
considered as objects deserving the same treatment on the part of
historians, whose task consists exactly in translating their past
meanings into present language. It goes on to examine the notion
that this act of translation is also an act of synchronization
which connects past, present, and future, disrupting and resetting
time, as well as creating complex temporalities differing from any
linear chronology. Using a broad, deep interpretation of
translation, History as a Translation of the Past brings together
an international cast of scholars working on different periods to
show how their respective approaches can help us to better
understand and translate the past in the future.
