Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite predictions of the "death of the past" and the "end of history," the past refuses to go away. In fact, the start of the twenty-first century has seen an upsurge of interest in popular representations of history on the large and small screen, and of impassioned political conflicts over rival understandings of the past. Historical responsibility and apology have become contentious topics of domestic politics and of international diplomatic relations, and memory a profitable commodity for sale to mass markets. Against this background, how do historians deal with the problems of the search for "historical truth"? The Past Within Us approaches these issues by examining the problems of representing history in the popular media. Drawing on examples from East Asian and American as well as European history, it poses the question: What happens when accounts of history are transferred from one medium to another? How far does the medium shape the message? How can historians deploy contemporary media in ways which evoke and develop the historical imagination? From the romances of Walter Scott to Steven Spielberg blockbusters, from online Irish nationalism to Japanese revisionist comic books, The Past Within Us explores some of the more dramatic modern popular representations and reflects on the key challenges and possibilities for the communication of history in a multimedia age.
Book Synopsis The Past Within Us by : Raymond Martin
Download or read book The Past Within Us written by Raymond Martin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we interpret the past as we do, rather than in some other way or not at all? What is the significance of the fact that we interpret the past? What are historical interpretations? Raymond Martin's approach to these questions transcends both the positivist and humanistic perspectives that have polarized Anglo-American philosophy of history. Martin goes to the source of this polarization by diagnosing a deep-seated flaw in the dominant analytic approach during the period from 1935 to 1975, namely, the emphasis on conceptual analysis rather than the examination of actual historical controversies. As an alternative, Martin proposes an empirical approach that examines what makes one historical interpretation better than its competitors. In addressing how historians should decide which explanations are better, Martin opts for a case-by-case analysis of historiographical practice as opposed to establishing general criteria. His book offers several detailed case studies, involving such topics as the collapse of Lowland Maya civilization in the ninth century A.D., the fall of Rome, and the alleged historical priority of St. Mark's gospel over the other synoptic gospels. Originally published in 1989.

Book Synopsis State Of The Life: The Past Within by : Tmbrr(Sì)i
Download or read book State Of The Life: The Past Within written by Tmbrr(Sì)i and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a modern style, strong and yet delicate metaphors which often draw on the natural world, the poet conveys to her readers both a representation of a modern world firm in its banalities and the portrait of a human being, a strong woman who, at ease in her own skin, summons the fortitude to look back into her past and into the heart-breaking moments that made her who she is now. This collection of poems speaks of loss, pain, love, and the strength required to allow yourself to be brave enough to entrust your heart again to someone else. Raised among the words of authors like Lord Tennyson, C. Baudelaire, E. Allan Poe, O. Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, T. S. Eliot, and Victor Hugo, and by a mother who taught her “to arrange the “galloping moments of existence at such verbal angles as to remind the ear that music bows to nothing, not even the whip of misfortune”, Tmbrr(Sì)i does not believe in dates but in the feelings the past holds and that, once brought to light, compel her to write down the words which now with “trembling hands” are being passed to her readers.
Book Synopsis Encountering the Past within the Present by : Siobhan Kattago
Download or read book Encountering the Past within the Present written by Siobhan Kattago and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encountering the Past within the Present: Modern Experiences of Time examines different encounters with the past from within the present – whether as commemoration, nostalgia, silence, ghostly haunting or combinations thereof. Taking its cue from Hannah Arendt’s definition of the present as a time span lying between past and future, the author reflects on the old philosophical question of how to live the good life – not only with others who are physically with us but also with those whose presence is ghostly and liminal. While tradition may no longer command the same authority as it did in antiquity or the middle ages, individuals are by no means severed from the past. Rather, nostalgic longing for bygone times and traumatic preoccupation with painful historical events demonstrate the vitality of the past within the present. Divided into three parts, chapters examine ways in which the legacies of World War II, the Holocaust and communism have been remembered after 1945 and 1989. Maintaining a sustained reflection on the nexus of memory, modernity and time in tandem with ancient questions of responsibility for one another and the world, the volume contributes to the growing field of memory studies from a philosophical perspective. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory and philosophy with interests in collective memory and heritage.
