What is Cultural History? has established itself as an essential guide to what cultural historians do and how they do it. Now fully updated in its second edition, leading historian Peter Burke offers afresh his accessible guide to the past, present and future of cultural history, as it has been practised not only in the English-speaking world, but also in Continental Europe, Asia, South America and elsewhere.

Burke begins by providing a discussion of the 'classic' phase of cultural history, associated with Jacob Burckhardt and Johan Huizinga, and of the Marxist reaction, from Frederick Antal to Edward Thompson. He then charts the rise of cultural history in more recent times, concentrating on the work of the last generation, often described as the 'New Cultural History'. He places cultural history in its own cultural context, noting links between new approaches to historical thought and writing and the rise of feminism, postcolonial studies and an everyday discourse in which the idea of culture plays an increasingly important part. The new edition also surveys the very latest developments in the field and considers the directions cultural history may be taking in the twenty-first century.

The second edition of What is Cultural History? will continue to be an essential textbook for all students of history as well as those taking courses in cultural, anthropological and literary studies.

读后感

翻完这书，不由得赞叹国内的译介力度。 我最近几年，几乎都在看中文本，可是彼得·伯克提到的这些人物和书籍，竟也看个八九不离十。怪不得西毒说，在中国做学问，再无须自轻自卑了，我们的视界够开阔。 不过塞尔托我确实不知道。他做的关于Louton一群修女被魔鬼附身的研究，谁...

《什么是文化史》一书，以瑞士史学家布克哈特（Jacob Burckhardt）所著之《意大利文艺复兴时期的文化》（1860年）为开端，分门别类地叙述了其后一百五十年间文化史学科发展的种种脉络。它不仅是带领读者进入相关领域之导绎，也是伯克对于自己数十年治史的一个全面定位。英文的c...

1、福柯在新文化史方面的重要影响是什么？ 主要是三种观念产生了巨大的影响。第一，福柯批判了目的论的历史解释。福柯的研究方法则是从“谱系学”入手。这是术语从尼采那里借用来强调“偶然事件”，而不是去追溯思想演进的轨迹或者探究现存制度的起源。福柯还强调文化的非连续...  

用户评价

以前翻看过第一版，这次读了第二版，写的很清楚。后面附录里有一个很棒的书目，列出了1860-2007 年的重要文化史著作。

對于菜雞來說太友好了，因為從入門的角度講廣度比深度要重要（個人觀點）。但真正要懂怎麼做文化史，怎麼把theory和史料有機地結合，不僅要看豬跑（細讀與分析文化史的作品），還要吃豬肉（自己寫篇文化史的文章）。不知道將來會不會退潮？

历史学的边际终将扩展至无穷大。

And now the pendulum has swung uncontrollably in all directions.

看完了！在这里看完的第一本书哈哈哈，其实还蛮stimulating的，感觉很面向未来，强调historians个人的创造力，让我对当代文化充满信心！
