This book situates historical scholarship within a plurihistoricity of contemporary historical culture, exploring conflicting conceptions of historical change in technological utopias of human enhancement, in prospects of human extinction, in societal responses to the Anthropocene, and in the imperative of bringing colonial patterns of historical injustice to justice.Contemporary societies increasingly reclaim history from the academic pursuit of historiography. On the one hand, societal engagement in history is growing palpably. History is literally everywhere: in the fallen statues of past political regimes, in trajectories of environmental degradation, and in technological prospects of space expansion. On the other hand, societal demand for history seems to diminish rather than strengthen the authority of professionalized historical studies. What do these societal historicities stand for? How do they create pasts that matter? What futures do they desire or attempt to avoid? How do they view the historical transitions into those futures? And what is the societal role of historical scholarship and scholarly conceptions of history in the plurihistoricity of contemporary historical culture?By addressing these questions, Simon's book is essential reading for everyone interested in the present and future of viewing the world historically.

The idea of human rights has been much criticized from a historical perspective but curiously enough its theoretical and practical contributions to the study of time, memory, and history have never been systematically explored. How is it to look at the past from a human rights perspective? How can historical writing benefit from applying human rights logic? In tackling these questions, the book first clarifies what a human rights view of the past is. The constituent dimensions of the past - time, memory, and history - are then reviewed, indicating what a human rights perspective can add to the study of each. Finally, the benefits accruing from a human rights view of the past to historical theory and practice are highlighted.

Since the end of the Second World War, the political rationale to remember the past has shifted from previous focus on states' victories, as these began commemorating their own historical crimes. This Element follows the rise of 'auto-critical memory', or the politics of remembrance of a country's own dark past. The Element explores the idea's gestation in West Germany after the Second World War, its globalisation through initiatives of 'transitional justice' in the 1990s, and present-day debates about how to remember the colonial past. It follows different case studies that span the European continent - including Germany, France, Britain, Poland and Serbia - and places these in a global context that traces the circulation of ideas of auto-critical memory. Ultimately, as it follows the emergence of demands for social and racial justice, the Element questions the usefulness of memory to achieve the goals many political actors ascribe to it.

Johnson, Peter, Revisions and Reconstructions in the Thought of R. G. Collingwood: From Pre-History to Economics. 232 pp. 2025:2 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <743-55>

Opening new ground in neglected aspects of R.G. Collingwood's philosophy, Peter Johnson presents essays on Collingwood as a pre-historian, economist, Christian and commentator of Edward Gibbon together with an investigation into the connection between his later works. The chapters shed light on Collingwood's distinctive account of pre-history, the relationship between his last great works The Principles of History and The New Leviathan, and his views on money in comparison to those of J.M. Keynes. They also consider his assessment of Edward Gibbon as a historian and his use of biblical citation in relation to the work of Thomas Hobbes. Johnson's insightful reflections and in-depth analysis of a range of areas in Collingwood's thinking connect them through historical and conceptual themes relevant to contemporary debates about his philosophy. Uniting important and unique perspectives for understanding the scope and depth of Collingwood's philosophy, Johnson's detailed examination of previously underexplored topics will be welcomed by students and scholars across philosophy of history, pre-history, economic theory, intellectual history and philosophical hermeneutics.

This festschrift volume celebrates Tim Murray's significant and wide-ranging contribution to archaeological thought and practice. It includes 27 papers by Tim Murray's colleagues, research collaborators and students-former and current. Together these comprise a substantive and reflective contribution to Archaeology, History, Philosophy and Cultural Heritage in Australia, Oceania, China, India, the United Kingdom, Northern Europe, and North America. The collected papers in this volume tie together Murray's research into the history (or historiography) of archaeological thought, and his commitment to understanding the material culture of the past to 'write history'. They provide a cross-section of philosophical enquiries and substantive research: from epistemological studies of shared lexicons and important debates in the history of archaeological thought, to the minutae of material culture studies. Several papers explcitly and implicitly explore one of Murray's great interests: the role of heritage preservation in our exploration of the past, including dedicated tertiary training programs for Indigenous Australians to manage, research and protect their own Country. The book is divided into four parts: History, Archaeology, Philosophy and Heritage, offering an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the past. This volume would of interest to archaeologists, historians, philosophers of archaeology, and heritage scholars.

This innovative textbook demystifies the subject of world history through a diverse range of case studies. Each chapter looks at an event, person, or place from prehistory to the present and from across the globe - from the Kennewick Man to germ warfare, Japanese industrialization and modern-day soccer - and digs deeper, examining why historians disagree on the subject and why their debates remain relevant today. Through these case studies David Eaton 'unwraps the textbook', introducing key skills and debates and showing that past is not nearly as tidy as most textbooks suggest.This fully revised second edition includes updated historiography throughout plus:- New discussion questions and chapter learning objectives- Additional primary source texts, images and maps- Four new chapters on Gender and the Mongols, the Swahili Coast c.1100-1300, the Itaipu Dam and indigenous rights, and Ebola outbreaks in modern West Africa- A new companion website and online resources Posing provocative questions and demonstrating how historical interpretations can be influenced by contemporary concerns, World History through Case Studies shows how the study of history is relevant to a new generation of students and teachers.

This book brings a selection of the influential writings of Marc Bloch into the English language, largely for the very first time. Chronologically arranged to trace the developmental arc of Bloch's historical philosophy, the translations in The Selected Writings of Marc Bloch offer an illuminating insight into the theories of a pioneer historian and original founder of the renowned Annales school of French social history. The carefully curated translations in this volume reveal Bloch's thoughts on questions that historical studies has grappled with since the birth of the discipline. Why should history exist at all? What value does it have? What exactly is a science of history? What is the actual role of the historian in historical studies? This collection presents Bloch's precise understanding of the contours of the discipline of history, defined by the abuttal and transgression of its borders by other subjects. Consequently, it provides a theoretical underpinning for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary concepts via historical studies, pulling into its fold diverse themes such as customs, agriculture, economics, nutrition, technology, manners, art, fashion, and countless other topics explored by Bloch himself in the process.

Learning Archaeology is designed for undergraduate archaeology students, helping them develop interpretive skills in the classroom through problem-oriented, active learning exercises.This book brings together case studies drawn from real archaeological research so students can understand (and wrestle with) how archaeology is practiced, the kinds of questions that can be addressed with archaeological data (and its limits), and the often contested place of the discipline in the modern world. Experts working across the globe and on a variety of topics have written chapters addressing critical archaeological issues or questions using data and examples from their own research projects. Several chapters are co-authored by experienced practitioners working outside of the academy in archaeology and heritage-related fields, including Tribal or First Nations members. Importantly, each author or group of authors situates their archaeological problem within the social and political context of their practice. With ethical and socio-political considerations woven through each chapter, the book is structured into three sections, Excavation, Analytical Methods, and Archaeology in the Contemporary World and provides both a comprehensive view of archaeological method as well as an understanding the role that archaeological knowledge has in contemporary society.Learning Archaeology is for undergraduate archaeology students and suitable for use in introductory courses in archaeology.

Historiography is one of the most systematic accounts of the fate of culture. It is also a record of human?reflexive and reflective metaphors of the world, simultaneously anthropomorphizing and humanizing it. Historical imagination captures the world in its classical form directly, and in its non-classical form indirectly, through the lens of anthropomorphization. This enables the adaptation of the world to the human dimension or, in other words, to be constructed on a human scale. Historiography and historical thinking, especially the traditional forms, are close to the figures of public discourse because they offer meanings commensurate with it. Additionally, they are openly imbued with values, making them susceptible to easy, casual and biased interpretations. Thanks to these features, historical thinking and historiography provide a framework for texpressing currently important values and the common and specific emotions centered around them.

Materiality looms large in the world of archives, whether in storage, conservation, shape or materials of the records. Increasingly records are created digitally on a hitherto unimagined scale. How do born-digital records transform our understanding of the materiality of the archive? How do digital techniques provide new insights into the materiality of older archives? Archival Materialities in a Digital Age, based on a workshop organised by The National Archives, UK, and the University of Glasgow in 2018, contains a series of authoritative studies by archivists and researchers who are grappling with these issues on a daily basis. The research presented in Archival Materialities in a Digital Age shows how these challenges are causing a reconsideration of archival theories and precepts while at the same time offering a huge range of opportunities to investigate archives in new and innovative ways.

Emotional Labour in Oral History Research critically appraises the many complex ways in which emotion management features in oral history research and its specific implications for the researcher.Uniquely, this volume draws on oral historians' personal accounts of conducting sensitive research and assesses the applicability of the term emotional labour to this work. It examines how oral historians may perform emotional labour, highlighting the often-hidden emotional toll it takes on them. This volume considers how the emotionally taxing implications of conducting sensitive research may be exacerbated or mitigated by the institutional relations and contexts in which the researcher works. The authors evaluate recommendations from related disciplinary fields for ways of supporting researchers and consider how an ethics of care can be fostered in local research environments. Emotional Labour in Oral History Research engages critically with theories of emotion, conceptualisations of emotional labour, questions of power and positionality, an ethics of care and debate on the impact of neoliberal ideas and policies on the higher education sector.This book will be of interest to all those using oral history to conduct sensitive research in all locations and at all career stages, including doctoral students, academics new to oral history, established oral historians, community-based oral historians and qualitative researchers in adjacent disciplines.

In the Gothic, nothing stays buried for long. Since its inception in the mid-eighteenth century, the Gothic imagination has been concerned with the pasts of the societies from which it emerged. This collection, featuring contributions from archivists, historians and literary critics, examines how horror fiction and the wider Gothic mode have engaged with the constructed conception of "history".From Victorian nightmares of Jurassic jungles to ghost stories on the contemporary stage, the contributors adopt varied and innovative approaches to consider how the Gothic has created, complicated and sometimes subverted historical narratives. In doing so, these works blur the distinctions between the "historical record" and creative endeavour, undermine linear and sequential understandings of the progress of time and dissolve temporal boundaries. The collection explores a variety of Gothic forms including drama, poetry, prose, illustration, film and folklore, and it draws on classic texts such as Wuthering Heights and Dracula, as well as less familiar works, including Reynolds' The Mysteries of London and Baldini's Mal'aria.Literature, the Gothic and the Reconstruction of History will be invaluable to students and scholars interested in the confluences of literary and historical endeavour, the creation and depiction of historical constructs in popular culture, and Gothic horror in its myriad forms.

This is the first wide-ranging analysis of Alain Badiou's use, development and transformation of the concept of history. Despite the wealth of perspectives now available on how social and cultural practices take shape, historicism still appears to be the most dominant. The Militant Historian examines this primacy and reveals how Badiou's work offers a radical riposte.Exploring key texts in Badiou's oeuvre and how his philosophical ideas disrupt dominant conceptions of history and the role of the historian, Kerry William Purcell addresses how these ideas could transform our approaches to the historical and what it means to 'do history' as a meaningful endeavour. Adopting a chronological approach to Badiou's work, each chapter explores specific conceptual developments in his writing and how they lend themselves to a reconsideration of the subject who speaks history. From these new and disruptive modes of doing emerges the figure of the militant historian - a role with the potential to impact how we practice history outside the narrow strictures of academic life.

This book provides a cultural history of cultivation theory, a North American mass communication paradigm best known for arguing that television violence was a potent agent of political socialisation. Decades after its inception, cultivation theory remains an evocative force in imagining twenty-first-century media power. This book reveals how many factors shaped the theory: the spectre of twentieth-century fascism, the Cold War, political turbulence in 1960s America, and the realisation that television had profoundly altered the rhythms of social and political life. The book also explains how cultivation theory became a means of analysing diverse media influences, thanks to various scholars who brought different motivations, perspectives and skills to the project. Cultivation theory succeeded because its practitioners related their work to the changing political moods of post-war America. In doing so, they created a unique critical perspective within mass communication research, which continues to shed light on the role media play in political conflict.

Historiographic reasoning from evidentiary inputs is sui generis. Historiography is neither empirical, nor self-knowledge, nor a genre of fiction or ideology. Historiographic reasoning is irreducible to general scientific or social science reasoning. The book applies Bayesian insights to explicate historiographic reasoning as probable. It distinguishes epistemic transmission of knowledge from evidence from the generation of detailed historiographic knowledge from multiple coherent and independent evidentiary inputs in three modular stages. A history of historiographic reasoning since the late 18th century demonstrates that there was a historiographic scientific revolution across the historical sciences in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The underdetermination of historiography by the evidence, counterfactual historiographic reasoning, and false reasoning and other fallacies are further explained and discussed in terms of the probabilistic relations between the evidence and historiography.

This book examines the communication and interaction between archaeologists and the non-archaeological public in a digital age. Moving beyond traditional methods, the book focuses on communication through new (YouTube, MOOCs, TEDx, etc.) and alternative media (virtual and augmented reality, video games, comics, etc.) that connect a traditional archaeological world to a modern digital one. By featuring case studies that make this point, the volume argues for the need to integrate new technologies and media like online education, storytelling, podcasting, and augmented and virtual reality into archaeologists' efforts to communicate their work to the broader society. Drawn from a session at the European Association of Archaeologists Annual Conference in 2018, the book was expanded and enhanced by the inclusion of presentations from the 2020 conference and additional invited papers. The volume presents a variety of approaches to archaeological education that highlight the need for creativity and resourcefulness in re-thinking archaeological presentations in a digital and virtual environment. This volume is of interest to archaeologists, as well as researchers and practitioners in museology and heritage and serves as a guide for archaeologists interested and involved in the world of non-academic communication. This book invites the reader to be part of a movement that is redefining the dialogue between our past and the future of communication, learning, and digital storytelling.

In 2021, the American Historical Association published a study on how the American public perceives and understands the past. Almost half of the respondents argued that they turn to Wikipedia to learn about history and acquire a historical understanding of the past. Wikipedia was ranked higher than other historical activities, such as “Historic site visit,” “Museum visit,” “Genealogy work,” “Social media,” “Podcast/radio program,” “History lecture,” and “History-related video game.” These findings combined with the appropriation of Wikipedia’s corpus by ChatGPT and Wikipedia’s partnership with the most central search engine in the digital world, Google, and other digital assistants, such as Siri and Alexa, make clear how crucial the role of Wikipedia in how the public learns about history and makes sense of the past is. But how is historical knowledge produced on Wikipedia? How do Wikipedia editors engage with historical events of the past and transform the past into historical knowledge? Why do they decide to contribute to the production of history? By placing Wikipedia editors at the center of research inquiry and using multiple methodologies and different kinds of data, this book explores how historical knowledge is produced in one of the most central digital communities of knowledge, Wikipedia.

Many people around the world ask themselves: what is in fact this "public history". All those who work at the junction of historical research and the history-related public outreach or public policy in museums, at memorial sites, in editorial offices, administrations, schools and universities must find themselves asking this question, as it concerns both their daily professional practice and their history-related freelance activities. What connects all these people around the world who ?? although they work in different institutional settings ?? experience their work as essentially common, and describe their professions as a part of a larger field of public history? There are countless answers to this question, yet they often converge on a simple common descriptive level which strives to address as many different practices as possible. In recent years, however, an attempt has been made to explain the nature of public history in a way that would provide an operationalizable definition of the concept. This volume presents a continuation of this debate with contributions from Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Austria, Russia, the USA and Venezuela. By opening a space for a constructive, explicit and reciprocal discourse, this volume also renders public history visible in its form as a dynamic, theoretical scholarly practice.

This book examines the origins, development, and current state of myths surrounding 'lost civilizations' and, more importantly, how these myths contribute to modern political ideologies. By examining the myths, legends, and scientific record concerning Atlantis, the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons, and the Celts, pre-Contact North America and the Aryans, this book reveals the faulty science, logical fallacies, anti-intellectualism, and outright racism motivating the recurrent interest in them. It delineates the development of pseudohistory from its allegorical Classical origins, through renaissance and enlightenment literature, to nineteenth-century popular writing, and finally to modern pseudoscience. It describes how at every stage pseudohistory has been used to reinforce and reproduce dominant ideologies by marginalizing subordinate groups in favor of social elites. This book is ideal not only for the general reader interested in world history, but also for courses across the humanities, including pseudoarcheology, historiographic and scientific methods, and classics.

Part manifesto, part manual, this book offers historians of all levels both subject and approach. The subject is work. In every place-time people made and sold objects - and struggled with annoying customers or government regulation. They healed clients - and wanted to bolster their prestige and keep out interlopers. Studying work allows historians to delve into the experiences of non-elite groups using texts, images, or objects. The wide-ranging approach is based on the Chicago-school sociology of occupations, which starts from the premise that work isn't just a job: it's a drama created by people making decisions that shape and are shaped by their place-time. Packed with examples from Ming Chinese apothecaries to twentieth-century New York City doormen, this book is a must for those who want to enliven their study of the past by examining how people spent most of their days and lives: at work.

How has the digital turn shaped the practices of film historical research and teaching? While computational approaches have been used by film historians since the 1960s and 1970s, the arrival and use of digital tools and methods in recent decades have fundamentally changed the ways we search, analyze, interpret, present, and so think and write about film history ? from digital archival and curatorial practices, data-driven search and analysis of film historical collections to the visualization and dissemination of film historical materials online. While film historians have increasingly embraced the new possibilities brought by digital technologies, their practical, epistemological, and methodological implications need further exploration. What implications has the mass digitization of film historical sources for film historians? What new questions can be raised by analyzing, interpreting, and visualizing film historical data at scale? By focusing on the concepts, tools and practices of digital film historiography, this edited volume aims to contribute to a better understanding as well as critical reflection on the changes and continuities of doing film history in the digital age.

This book collects works by the late Professor Martin Wight (1913-1972), an historian and scholar of international relations. Wight conducted research on many topics, including British colonial history, European studies, international institutions, and the history of states-systems. He is nonetheless best known for his lectures about the political philosophy of international relations at the London School of Economics (1949-1961) and the University of Sussex (1961-1972). He is widely regarded as an intellectual ancestor and pathbreaker of the 'English School' of international relations, even though this term only gained currency nine years after his death. While there is no generally accepted definition of the 'English School', it is usually construed as signifying an approach to the study of international relations more rooted in historical and humanistic learning than in the social sciences. Wight's achievements are consistent with this broad definition. This volume draws together a number of Wight's published works as well as many of his previously unpublished, obscurely published, and anonymous writings about faith and the philosophy of history. Owing to his premature death at the age of 58, he was unable to complete several works in progress, partly because his perfectionism led him to refrain from publishing many of them.

Otto Hintze (1861?1940), der bedeutendste deutsche Historiker der ersten Haelfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, widmete sich intensiv dem modernen Staat, seiner Geschichte und Anatomie, Verfassung, Verwaltung und geopolitischen Lage. Auf dieser Grundlage und mit Rueckgriff auf Max Webers soziologische Methode und Erkenntnisse setzte er sich mit den Staatstheorien auseinander, wie sie in der Staatsrechtslehre, Soziologie und Geschichtswissenschaft im fruehen 20. Jahrhundert entwickelt wurden. Bis heute beeindruckt die kuehle Praezision seines historisch-soziologischen Blicks. Seine Soziologie des Staates ist Grundlagenforschung, daneben aber auch leidenschaftliche Analyse des Schicksals des deutschen Staates seiner Gegenwart. Seine globalgeschichtliche Perspektive und seine nuechterne Analyse der machtpolitischen Grundlagen des europaeischen Staatensystems machen ihn zu einem eminent aktuellen Autor.

What is history about? This Element shows that answers centred on the keyword 'past events' are incomplete, even if they are not simply wrong. Interweaving theoretical and historical perspectives, it provides an abstract overview of the thematic plurality that characterizes contemporary academic historiography. The reflection on different sorts of pasts that can be at focus in historical research and writing encompasses events as well as non-events, especially recursive social structures and cultural webs. Some consequences of such plurality for discussions concerning historical methodology, explanation, exemplification, and representation are also outlined. The basic message, reinforced throughout, is that the great relevance of non-event-centred approaches should prompt us to talk more about "histories" in the plural and less about "history" in the singular.

This book offers an original reading of Carlo Ginzburg's work, tracing his trajectory in the context of Italian micro-history, his debates on the objectivity of historical knowledge, and the connection of his work to the expanded perspectives constructed in recent decades by global history.Ginzburg's theories have achieved notoriety not only in the field of history but also among the wider public. This volume uses Ginzburg's own aesthetic and intellectual practices in its analysis, and it deciphers the elements that drove and influenced the making of his work. By highlighting the procedures that Ginzburg has constructed to respond to problems of cultural history, the book also pays close attention to Erich Auerbach and Aby Warburg, whose influences played a crucial role in reformulating Ginzburg's conception of micro-history. From there, the volume demonstrates the radicality of Ginzburg's micro-history through the discussion of some of his most recent contributions to international historiographical debates.Thought-provoking and thoroughly researched, Deciphering Carlo Ginzburg is an innovative study in Ginzburg's methods and theories.

This book explores the history, practice, and possibilities of writing about the lives of First Nations' peoples in Australia as well as Aotearoa New Zealand, North America, and the Pacific.This interdisciplinary collection recognises the limitations of Western biographical conventions for writing Indigenous long- and short-form biographies. Through a series of diverse life stories of both historical and contemporary First Nations figures, this book investigates innovative ways to ameliorate the challenges we face in recovering the stories of Indigenous people and reimagining their lives in productive new ways. Many of the chapters in this collection are deeply reflective, aiming not just to relate the life story of an individual but also to reflect on the archival, intellectual, and emotional journeys that biographers undertake in researching Indigenous biography.This volume will be of value to scholars and students interested in Indigenous Studies, biography, history, literature, creative writing, archaeology, and colonial and postcolonial studies.

Das Anthropozaen fordert die Geschichtsschreibung heraus: Muss sich die Geschichtswissenschaft veraendern, um in Zukunft noch relevant zu sein? Die Debatte um das neue Erdzeitalter Anthropozaen praegt auch die historischen Wissenschaften. Forderungen nach neuen Methoden, neuen Quellen und neuen Narrativen bestimmen das Feld. Fragen nach der Bedeutung der Natur, der Ausdehnung der Zeit und der Rolle des menschlichen Akteurs beruehren die Geschichtswissenschaft im Kern ihres disziplinaeren Selbstverstaendnisses. Um unter den Bedingungen des sich abzeichnenden Klimawandels noch ueber relevante Deutungsmacht zu verfuegen, muss sich auch die Geschichtswissenschaft wandeln. Die Autorin fuehrt durch die internationale Debatte um das Anthropozaen, sucht nach Zusammenhaengen und Anknuepfungspunkten und schlaegt vor, neue Narrative von Kontamination und Relation zu entwickeln.

Focusing on the career of the Soviet historian M.N. Pokrovskii, the author examines the evolution of historical writing in the first decade of Soviet rule. As Deputy People's Commissar for Education, Pokrovskii was among those who established the academic institutions of the new regime. The study of Pokrovskii's writings and the political context in which they were conceived helps explain the origin of interpretations of modern Russian history current in Soviet times. The book can for that reason be regarded as a preliminary to the study of the Russian revolutionary era, and a key to the critical evaluation of the historical sources for the period.

In this revised and expanded second edition of Third World Studies, Gary Y. Okihiro considers the methods and theories that might constitute the formation of Third World studies. Proposed in 1968 at San Francisco State College by the Third World Liberation Front but replaced by faculty and administrators with ethnic studies, Third World studies was over before it began. As opposed to ethnic studies, which Okihiro critiques for its liberalism and US-centrism, Third World studies begins with the colonized world and the anti-imperial, anticolonial, and antiracist projects located therein as described by W. E. B. Du Bois in 1900. Third World studies analyzes the locations and articulations of power around the axes of race, gender, sexuality, (dis)ability, class, and nation. In this new edition, Okihiro emphasizes the work of Third World intellectuals such as M. N. Roy, Jose Carlos Mariategui, and Oliver Cromwell Cox; foregrounds the importance of Bandung and the Tricontinental; and adds discussions of eugenics, feminist epistemologies, and religion. With this work, Okihiro establishes Third World studies as a theoretical formation and a liberatory practice.

An indisputably prominent figure in twentieth-century philosophy, R. G. Collingwood often remains elusive even to those who admire his achievements. This volume of new essays aims to reintroduce Collingwood to twenty-first-century philosophical readers and to show why, and how, his achievements matter. Each essay offers an original contribution to the understanding of some aspect of Collingwood's thought, including new interpretations of several of his central ideas, re-examinations of his place in twentieth-century philosophy, and an extended consideration of a previously undiscussed manuscript. The essays span the wide range of Collingwood's interests, including metaphysics, epistemology, logic, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, and political philosophy, as well as Roman British history and the history of art. Emphasis is placed on Collingwood's connections to traditions with which his name is not typically linked, including pragmatism, analytic philosophy, and phenomenology. This rich volume will stimulate further examination of Collingwood and his legacy.

Sources and Methods in the History of Sexuality outlines some of the challenges of retracing sexual acts, identities, and desires in the past, and shows how historians have responded to these methodological challenges with ingenuity and creativity.The volume acknowledges that the history of sexuality poses particularly interesting challenges in relation to sources due the peculiar nature of sexuality. On one hand, sexuality is frequently hidden and private, its practices often unknown, denied, and evaded, its desires fleeting or obsessive, its reality confused or illuminated by fantasy; yet on the other, sexuality consistently breaks into the public sphere through moral panics, waves of persecution, taxonomizing projects, and medical/juridical interventions. With vivid case studies from renowned contributors, the chapters provide different theoretical approaches along with more practical examples of how to study the history of sexuality. The volume has a broad chronology from the ancient world to the present, an extensive geography covering not only Europe and the Americas but also Latin America and Africa, and also includes a variety of gender and sexual expressions. The book also privileges texts that offer an intersectional approach, asking how sex and sexualities were constructed alongside/against other categories of difference.With accessible writing, this volume encourages the reader to think creatively about how to find evidence of sex/sexuality in the past and will be of value to students as well as scholars interested in the history of sexuality.
