If historical culture is the specific and particular ways that a
society engages with its past, this book aims to situate the
professional practice of public history, now emerging across the
world, within that framework. It links the increasingly varied
practices of memory and history-making such as genealogy,
podcasting, re-enactment, family histories, memoir writing,
film-making and facebook histories with the work that professional
historians do, both in and out of the academy. Making Histories
asks questions about the role of the expert and notions of
authority within a landscape that is increasingly concerned with
connection to the past and authenticity. The book is divided into
four parts: 1. Resistance, Rights, Authority 2. Memory,
Memorialization, Commemoration 3. Performance, Transmission,
Reception 4. Family, Private, Self The four sections outline major
themes emerging in public history across the world in the 21st
century which are all underpinned by the impact of new media on
historical practice and our central argument for the volume which
advocates a more capacious definition of what constitutes 'public
history'.
