This book is open access and available on
www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched.
In a unique approach to historical representations, the central
question of this book is 'what is history?' By describing 'history'
through its supplementary function to the field of history, rather
than the ground of a study, this collection considers new insights
into historical thinking and historiography across the humanities.
It fosters engagement from around the disciplines in historical
thinking and, from that, invites historians and philosophers of
history to see clearly the impact of their work outside of their
own specific fields, and encourages deep reflection on the role of
historical production in society. As such, Theories of History
opens up for the first time a truly cross-disciplinary dialogue on
history and is a unique intervention in the study of historical
representation. Essays in this volume discuss music history,
linguistics, theater studies, paintings, film, archaeology and
more. This book is essential reading for those interested in the
practice and theories of history, philosophy, and the humanities
more broadly. Readers of this volume are not only witness to, but
also part of the creation of, radical new discourses in and ways of
thinking about, doing and experiencing history.
