This book considers how history is not just objectively lived but
subjectively experienced by people in the process of orienting
their present toward the past. It analyses affectivity in
historical experience, examines the digital mediation of history,
and assesses the current politics of competing historical genres.
The contributors explore the diverse ways in which the past may be
activated and felt in the here and now, juxtaposing the practices
of professional historiography with popular modes of engaging the
past, from reenactments, filmmaking/viewing and historical fiction
to museum collections and visits to historical sites. By examining
the divergent forms of historical experience that flourish in the
shadow of historicism in the West, this volume demonstrates how,
and how widely (socially), the understanding of the past exceeds
the expectations and frameworks of professional historicism. It
makes the case that historians and the discipline of History could
benefit from an ethnographic approach in order to assess the social
reception of their practice now, and into a near future
increasingly conditioned by digital media and demands for
experiential immediacy.
