History means many things to many people. But finding an answer to the question 'What is history?' is a task few feel equipped to answer nowadays. And yet, at the same time, history has never been more popular - whether in the press, on the television or at the movies. In understanding our present it seems we cannot escape the past. So if you want to explore this tantalising subject, where do you start? What are the critical skills you need to begin to make sense of the past? Keith Jenkins' book is the perfect introduction. In clear, concise prose it guides the reader through the controversies and debates that surround historical thinking at the present time, and offers readers the means to make their own discoveries.
觉得Routledge这个英国书局也有点偏袒本国人,这本书内容固然还不错(对史学的很多看法我非常同意),但Jenkins的水平总体来说是不和这套丛书的其他作者Jung、Bourdieu、Freud等在一个档次的,估计Yates也是。
评分早两年看这本书的话,我可能会十分困惑,同面对哲学的怀疑主义一样,一不小心就掉入了虚无主义的深渊。在发现什么都不确定的事实之后,变得痛苦又沮丧。两年之后再来看才发现真正的信息被我彻底遗漏,不确定性打破的只是幻想的梦“镜”,自身的价值不是毁灭而是机会。这是一个能带来无数可能的机会,一个能重新无数次发问的机会。从现代主义到后现代主义,曾经的“中心”被推翻再推翻;人们对待真相的态度也变成怀疑更怀疑。在破碎又强大的后现代语境中,绝对怀疑除了最初带来的惊愕,已经失去了力量和价值。我想,不管是罗素的《哲学的问题》还是Keith的Rethinking History,其实都在说一件事:“追求一个,有且只有一个的真相是看不到落日的长征。在这个时代,不确定性或许是个福音,给每个可能带来了话语。所以大胆地质问吧!

评分History is a shifting, problematic discourse, ostensibly about an aspect of the world, the past, that is produced by a group of present-minded workers who go about their work in mutually recognizable ways that are epistemologically, methodologically, ideologically and practically positioned and whose products, once in circulation, are subject to a series of users and abuses that are logically infinite but which in actuality generally correspond to a range of power bases that exist at any given moment and which structure and distribute the meanings of histories along a dominant-marginal spectrum.
