In recent times there has been recognition of the growing influence
of cultural theory on historical writing. Foucault, Bourdieu,
Butler and Spivak are just some of the thinkers whose ideas have
been taken up and deployed by historians. What are these ideas and
where do they come from? How have cultural theorists thought about
'history'? And how have historians applied theoretical insights to
enhance their own understanding of events in the past? This book
provides a wide-ranging and authoritative guide to the often vexed
and controversial relationship between history and contemporary
theory. It analyses the concepts that concern both theorists and
historians, such as power, identity, modernity and postcolonialism,
and offers a critical evaluation of them from an historical
standpoint. Written in an accessible manner, History and Cultural
Theory gives historians and students an invaluable summary of the
impact of cultural theory on historiography over the last twenty
years, and indicates the likely directions of the subject in the
future.
