#Arkivism
Vi lever i en unik tid vi skapar, startar, driver, kämpar, anställer, organiserar oss, vårdar, verkar och lever som aldrig förr. Men vad kommer framtiden att minnas av allt vi gjort?
EN PRAKTISK HANDBOK OCH EN GÅVA TILL KVINNAN I DITT LIV SOM INTE FÅR GÅ FÖRLORAD.
Att kvinnorna saknas i den breda historieskrivningen vet vi. Men visste du att det kan se lika illa ut om hundra år om vi inte gör något?
Detta är en praktisk och inspirerande handbok i hur vi alla kan se till att kvinnor gör avtryck.
Dels genom att hitta kvinnorna som döljer sig i våra arkiv, och dels genom att arkivera oss själva och andra.
Tänk på kvinnorna i ditt liv: din kompis som är aktiv i en förening, din släkting som alltid skrivit dagbok eller på förebilden som brutit ny mark. Tänk på allt du själv gör. Sparas inget av detta är det snart ett minne blott och minnen falnar snabbt.
Vad kan du göra för att lyfta in mamma, mormor eller mormorsmor i historien?
Hur kan du själv bli historisk?
Svaren finns i Arkivism: en handbok.
Boken ges ut i samarbete med Stockholms Kvinnohistoriska och innehåller bidrag från: Lina Thomsgård, Helene Larsson Pousette, Sara Martinsson, Mia Skott, Marie Steinrud, Lisa Qviberg, Lisa Ehlin, Lars Ilshammar, Anna Götlind, Fatima Bremmer, Ida Östenberg, Johanna Berg, Rafaela Stålbalk Klose, Karolina Ramqvist, Mats Hayen, Katarina Pirak Sikku, Kristina Lindström och Petra Bauer.
Boken innehåller bland annat:Steg-för-steg guide för att hitta kvinnor i arkivens källor.Steg-för-steg guide för hur du sparar dina dokument för en framtida arkivering. Vad ska vi göra med digitala dokument och handlingar?Frågor du kan ställa för att arkivera dig själv, någon annan eller en förening.

Under det senaste decenniet har samtidshistorien blivit radioaktiv. Det går idag att påstå vad som helst om historiska händelser på sociala medier utan att bli motsagd. Som att Förintelsen i själva verket var Sveriges ansvar. Eller att Ukraina överföll Ryssland 2022. Den sortens propaganda får själva verkligheten att svaja. Och historieförfalskningen har blivit ett politiskt vapen. Som flera historiker och specialister på psykologisk krigföring återkommer till är målet med desinformationen inte att i första hand propagera för en viss ideologi eller politisk linje utan att underminera tilltron till fakta över huvud taget. Om inget är sant kan vad som helst vara det. Sverigedemokraternas ihärdiga och tyvärr mycket framgångsrika försök att smutskasta socialdemokraterna i sociala medier och Trumps återkomst till Vita Huset är väl de mest aktuella och mest talande exemplen på det. Vad är då sant? Finns det ens något som heter ”objektiv sanning”? Jodå, det finns gott om viktig historisk forskning, och det går att skilja agnarna från vetet. Om historikerna själva får komma till tals. Men hur ska sådana röster skära genom bruset? Hur ska den ”vanliga läsaren” kunna slå fast vad som faktiskt har hänt? I den här volymen möter vi några av Sveriges mest kända historiker som resonerar om just detta. Vad gör historieförfalskningen med oss? Och vilket är historikernas eget ansvar?

With its innovative format, Debating New Approaches to History addresses issues currently at the top of the discipline’s theoretical and methodological agenda. In its chapters, leading historians of both older and younger generations from across the Western world and beyond discuss and debate the main problems and challenges that historians are facing today. Each chapter is followed by a critical commentary from another key scholar in the field and the author’s response.The volume looks at topics such as the importance and consequences of the ‘digital turn’ in history (what will history writing be like in a digital age?), the challenge of posthumanist theory for history writing (how do we write the history of non-humans?) and the possibilities of moving beyond traditional sources in history and establishing a dialogue with genetics and neurosciences (what are the perspectives and limits of the so-called ‘neurohistory’?). It also revisits older debates in history which remain crucial, such as what the gender approach can offer to historical research or how to write history on a global scale.Debating New Approaches to History does not just provide a useful overview of the new approaches to history it covers, but also offers insights into current historical debates and the process of historical method in the making. It demonstrates how the discipline of history has responded to challenges in society – such as digitalization, globalization and environmental concerns – as well as in humanities and social sciences, such as the ‘material turn’, ‘visual turn’ or ‘affective turn’. This is a key volume for all students of historiography wanting to keep their finger on the pulse of contemporary thinking in historical research.

De enda historiska källor som finns tillgängliga om romer och resande i Sverige är äldre texter som nästan uteslutande är skrivna utifrån majoritetssamhällets synvinkel. Källorna är ofta ensidiga, fyllda av fördomar och missuppfattningar och innehållet kan uppfattas som smärtsamt och sårande. För att kunna skriva om romsk och svensk historia kan dessa dokument ändå innehålla viktig och användbar information.
I Ett lapptäcke av källor undersöker Lotta Fernstål och Charlotte Hyltén-Cavallius äldre samlingar och sätter fokus på insamlarna. De granskar kritiskt materialens tillkomst och användandet av dem, och belyser därmed den kulturarvsproduktion som samlingarna är en del av. Författarna lyfter även fram nytt, tidigare förbigånget källmaterial i vilka romer och resande själva berättar om sina liv och livsvillkor detta i dialog med insamlarna vid arkiven i en inspelning från 1950-talets Småland och i två nedtecknade levnadsberättelser.
Författarna gör närläsningar och kontextualiserande studier av arkivmaterial vid bland annat Institutet för språk och folkminnen och Nordiska museet samt i viss mån föremål ur museisamlingar. Arbetet är teoretiskt förankrat i forskningsfälten Romani studies, kritiska kulturarvsstudier, arkivstudier och folkloristik med inriktning mot frågor om kunskapsproduktion och insamling.

Modernity in the late eighteenth century transformed all domains of European life -intellectual, industrial, and social. Not least affected was the experience of time itself: ever-accelerating change left people with briefer intervals of time in which to gather new experiences and adapt. In this provocative and erudite book Reinhart Koselleck, a distinguished philosopher of history, explores the concept of historical time by posing the question: what kind of experience is opened up by the emergence of modernity? Relying on an extraordinary array of witnesses and texts from politicians, philosophers, theologians, and poets to Renaissance paintings and the dreams of German citizens during the Third Reich, Koselleck shows that, with the advent of modernity, the past and the future became 'relocated' in relation to each other.The promises of modernity -freedom, progress, infinite human improvement -produced a world accelerating toward an unknown and unknowable future within which awaited the possibility of achieving utopian fulfillment. History, Koselleck asserts, emerged in this crucial moment as a new temporality providing distinctly new ways of assimilating experience.In the present context of globalization and its resulting crises, the modern world once again faces a crisis in aligning the experience of past and present. To realize that each present was once an imagined future may help us once again place ourselves within a temporality organized by human thought and humane ends as much as by the contingencies of uncontrolled events.

We associate the Romans with majesty and greatness: we marvel at their straight roads and innovative underfloor heating, at the dominance of their army and navy, at the grandeur of their palaces and temples. But the Romans were also enslavers. They built an empire on the backs of millions of people snatched from their homes in the aftermath of war, kidnapped from the streets, sold into slavery as punishment or, simply, born enslaved.Servus takes us into the invisible spaces of the Roman world, where millions of enslaved lives were unwillingly dedicated to the perpetuation of the empire that owned them. From the fields of wheat required to give every Roman their daily bread, to the actors and gladiators who provided their circuses, and the miners who kept Rome a city of gold and marble, enslaved people were the bedrock of the Roman Empire. These enslaved people were ubiquitous, but silenced. Through the fragments they left behind, historian Emma Southon traces the pain and tragedy of their lives alongside the love stories, lifelong friendships, small victories and hard-won freedoms.Servus tells the truth about the Roman empire and the unseen lives that made it so dominant.

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores:A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.

The Muqaddimah, often translated as "Introduction" or "Prolegomenon," is the most important Islamic history of the premodern world. Written by the great fourteenth-century Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406), this monumental work established the foundations of several fields of knowledge, including the philosophy of history, sociology, ethnography, and economics. The first complete English translation, by the eminent Islamicist and interpreter of Arabic literature Franz Rosenthal, was published in three volumes in 1958 as part of the Bollingen Series and received immediate acclaim in the United States and abroad. A one-volume abridged version of Rosenthal's masterful translation first appeared in 1969. This Princeton Classics edition of the abridged version includes Rosenthal's original introduction as well as a contemporary introduction by Bruce B. Lawrence. This volume makes available a seminal work of Islam and medieval and ancient history to twenty-first century audiences.

American Labyrinth contains a stimulating and useful collection of essays by historians reflecting on American intellectual history.... As a whole, the book convinces the reader that the field of intellectual history is enjoying a renaissance. The book will be especially prized by intellectual historians, but historians of many different persuasions will find these essays rewarding too.â•ChoiceIntellectual history has never been more relevant and more important to public life in the United States. In complicated and confounding times, people look for the principles that drive action and the foundations that support national ideals. American Labyrinth demonstrates the power of intellectual history to illuminate our public life and examine our ideological assumptions.This volume of essays brings together 19 influential intellectual historians to contribute original thoughts on topics of widespread interest. Raymond Haberski Jr. and Andrew Hartman asked a group of nimble, sharp scholars to respond to a simple question: How might the resources of intellectual history help shed light on contemporary issues with historical resonance? The answers-all rigorous, original, and challenging-are as eclectic in approach and temperament as the authors are different in their interests and methods. Taken together, the essays of American Labyrinth illustrate how intellectual historians, operating in many different registers at once and ranging from the theoretical to the political, can provide telling insights for understanding a public sphere fraught with conflict.In order to understand why people are ready to fight over cultural symbols and political positions we must have insight into how ideas organize, enliven, and define our lives. Ultimately, as Haberski and Hartman show in this volume, the best route through our contemporary American labyrinth is the path that traces our practical and lived ideas.

Sediments of Time features the most important essays by renowned German historian Reinhart Koselleck not previously available in English, several of them essential to his theory of history. The volume sheds new light on Koselleck's crucial concerns, including his theory of sediments of time; his theory of historical repetition, duration, and acceleration; his encounters with philosophical hermeneutics and political and legal thought; his concern with the limits of historical meaning; and his views on historical commemoration, including that of the Second World War and the Holocaust. A critical introduction addresses some of the challenges and potentials of Koselleck's reception in the Anglophone world.

Vid 1800-talets början bestämde sig en grupp aristokratiska politiker och hovmän med Adolf Ludvig Stjerneld i spetsen för att skapa en nationell svensk historia för den nya och krympta stat som kvarstod efter Napoleonkrigen. De ville lyfta fram en stolt och samlande skildring av Sveriges förflutna och etablerade därför verksamheter som Statens porträttgalleri på Gripsholms slott och Kungliga samfundet för utgivande av handskrifter rörande Skandinaviens historia. De drev även sina idéer genom andra inflytelserika institutioner som universiteten och de kungliga akademierna.
Privat beställde de konstverk med fosterländska motiv och samlade in historiska dokument och föremål som kunde berätta om historiska tilldragelser. Med sina insatser och genom att stödja yngre forskare, författare och konstnärer kom de att lägga grunderna till svensk historievetenskap och arkeologi. Deras arbete satte djupa spår i svensk historieskrivning och skildringar i litteratur och konst under de 200 åren som följt.

The past is capricious enough to support every stance - no matter how questionable. In 2002, the Bush administration decided that dealing with Saddam Hussein was like appeasing Hitler or Mussolini, and promptly invaded Iraq. Were they wrong to look to history for guidance? No; their mistake was to exaggerate one of its lessons while suppressing others of equal importance. History is often hijacked through suppression, manipulation, and, sometimes, even outright deception. MacMillan's book is packed full of examples of the abuses of history. In response, she urges us to treat the past with care and respect.

Länge har det saknats en handbok som ger en överblick över det rika historiska källmaterial som finns i våra svenska arkiv. I tidigare böcker har fokus legat på ett område eller delar av det arkivmaterial som finns att tillgå. Äntligen kommer här en översikt som visar vilken generös resurs våra ovärderliga arkiv är och tar ett grepp om skilda ämnesområden och vilka material som återfinns i olika arkiv.
Historikern och arkivarien Claes Westling riktar sig till alla med ett intresse för historisk forskning, lärare och studenter på alla nivåer, journalister, arkeologer, kulturarbetare samt släkt- och hembygdsforskare. Författarens ambition är att boken ska vara ett stöd för dem som redan använder våra arkiv men också att tjäna som en inspiration och bjuda in nya användare. Det blir allt vanligare att arkivforskning bedrivs uteslutande digitalt med hjälp av de arkiv som finns tillgängliga på internet, men en överväldigande stor del av våra historiska arkiv finns endast i form av pergament och papper en slumrande skatt som bara väntar på att upptäckas.

Franz Rosenzweig (1886–1929) is one of the most significant German Jewish philosophers of the twentieth century. Published in German in 1920 and now finally available in English for the first time, Hegel and the State is a major contribution to the understanding of Hegel's political and social thought and a profound analysis of the intellectual currents that shaped the German state in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Through careful readings of Hegel’s early handwritten manuscripts, Rosenzweig shows that Hegel was wrestling with the problem of how to reconcile the subjectivity and freedom of the individual within a community and ultimately the political state. According to Rosenzweig, the route out of this conundrum chosen by Hegel shaped his mature political philosophy, where he saw the relationship between the individual and the state as reciprocal. At a deeper level, the significance of Hegel and the State lies in the way that Rosenzweig explains the failure of Hegel's quasi-communitarian view of the state to emerge, due to the authoritarian direction of the newly unified German state under Bismarck. Anticipating the political and moral disaster that was to follow, Rosenzweig concludes by questioning the very viability of any theory of the state that relies on the pillars of bureaucratic militarism and a government-supported capitalist business culture.With the inclusion of a Foreword by Myriam Bienenstock and a substantial Afterword by Axel Honneth, Hegel and the State is a ground-breaking work of early twentieth-century philosophical and political thought. It is essential reading for students of Hegel, German Idealism, Jewish philosophy, and the origins of critical theory. It will also be of interest to those in related subjects such as the history of sociology, and German and intellectual history.

The Norman Conquest in 1066 was the last time England was successfully invaded, and was one of the most profound turning points in English history, cataclysmically transforming a disparate collection of small nations into a European state. But what actually happened? How was the invasion viewed by those who witnessed it? And how has its legacy been seen by generations since? This fascinating Very Short Introduction reveals how dramatically English life was changed, from its language to its law, and focuses on the differing ways the conquest has been viewed by historians and in folklore ever since. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

A brilliant new reading of the Bayeux Tapestry that radically alters our understanding of the events of 1066 and reveals the astonishing story of the survival of early medieval Europe’s greatest treasure.The Bayeux Tapestry was embroidered (it’s not really a tapestry) in the late eleventh century. As an artefact, it is priceless, incomparable – nothing of its delicacy and texture, let alone wit, survives from the period. As a pictorial story it is delightful: the first feature-length cartoon. As history it is essential: it represents the moment of Britain’s last conquest by a foreign army and celebrates the Norman victory over the blinded Saxon Harold. Or does it?In this brilliant piece of detective interpretation, Andrew Bridgeford looks at the narrative contained within the tapestry and has discovered a wealth of new information. Who commissioned it? Who made it? Who is the singular dwarf named as Turold? Why, in a work that celebrates a Norman conquest is the defeated Harold treated so nobly? Is Harold indeed the victim of the arrow from the sky? And who is the figure depicted in the tapestry who, at the moment of crisis for the Normans rallies the army just at the point when it mistakenly believes William is dead and it will be defeated?Using the tapestry, the book retells with vivid characterisation the story of the remaking of England in and after 1066. It is a compelling story, as is the tale of the extraordinary survival of the tapestry itself: history has rarely been writ so large, with such fine detail and yet been so veiled in mystery.

Med »Västerlandets undergång« ville Oswald Spengler förändra vår syn på historien och flytta perspektivet från vår koncentration på nutiden till en totalvy över världshistorien, där i princip varje epok och varje kultur har samma vikt och betydelse. Spengler hävdar att alla stora världskulturer har ett förutbestämt organiskt förlopp av framväxande, blomstring och bortdöende. Således förutser han en naturnödvändig undergång också för vår moderna västerländska kultur.Mot bakgrund av sin imponerande lärdom för Spengler fram sina argument på en levande prosa och med hjälp av slående metaforer.
»Västerlandets undergång« är ett storslaget försök att betrakta världen, historien och kulturen på ett helt nytt sätt, en blandning av historia och filosofi.

In this intellectual biography, critic and philosopher Boris Groys turns to the Arthur Rimbaud of modern bureaucracy, Alexandre Kojève, a philosopher of little-known writings and profound influence. Kojève was fascinated with Hegel's dialectics and with communism and envisioned a universal empire as the end of history. Kojève drew on Buddhism and also proclaimed himself a Stalinist. At the same time, he was one of the creators of a nascent European Union. His concept of the human as something defined by negation and unique among animals in being separated from nature is highly political. It explains why humans can never be fully satisfied by a political system based on their allegedly 'natural' rights.Groys reveals a Kojève with a unique perspective on our political capacities and human condition.

Vi lever alla omgivna av ett förflutet som på olika sätt påverkar nuet. Men hur ska vi förstå det förflutnas fortsatta verkan och närvaro i samtiden? Inom historieteori diskuterades länge frågan om vi kan veta något med säkerhet om det förflutna. Men under senare decennier har intresset snarare riktats mot de olika sätt på vilka det förflutna finns kvar och formar de efterkommande. En dåtidsorienterad historieskrivning har fått ge plats åt en som rör sig i relationer mellan olika tidsliga dimensioner. I takt med att den historiska tiden historiseras väcks nya frågor: Är det meningsfullt att tala om en sammanhängande fortskridande tid eller bör vi snarare tänka oss flera parallella, multipla och korsande tider? Hur ska vi förstå historisk tid efter att framstegstanken själv alltmer kommit att framstå som en konstruktion? Frågor om vår egen plats i ett historiskt landskap öppnar för nya sätt att tänka det historiska och att historisera, där genealogiska, arkeologiska, dekonstruktiva, konstellativa och andra former av motläsningar tycks öppna nya och olikartade dörrar till det förflutna, i dess skilda gestalter och verkligheter. "Den historiska tidens former" är den första fristående delen i trebandsverket "Historiens hemvist". Den samlar nitton forskare inom skilda ämnen som behandlar frågor om historiens slut, hemsökelser och gengångare, döda och odöda, postapokalyps och messianism, exil, narrativitet och genealogi, polytemporalitet, anakronism och tidens mångfaldigande. Sammantaget bidrar den till att ge nya kartor över det samtida historiska medvetandet i dess struktur och förvandling. Volymen är redigerad av Victoria Fareld, forskare i idéhistoria vid Stockholms universitet, och Hans Ruin, professor i filosofi vid Södertörns högskola, båda knutna till forskningsprogrammet "Tid, minne, representation".

Historiemedvetandet har skiftat mellan olika tider beroende på sociala, ekonomiska, politiska och teknologiska villkor. Dessa skiften har sin grund i olika historiografiska praktiker, minnestekniker och minnesfunktioner, och historiografin och minnet måste därmed själva historiseras. För att förstå historiemedvetandets förändringar blir det därför avgörande att undersöka vilka medier, tekniker och historiografiska praktiker som har använts för att göra en plats meningsfull genom att tilldela den en historia och därmed göra den minnesbärande. På så sätt kan platsen betecknas som ett monument, ett kulturarv eller en minnesinstitution och därmed skiljas från andra platser. Monumentet och dess gränsdragningar är centrala i hela den västliga estetiken, från skulpturens sockel till måleriets ram, men också i religiösa praktiker, inom institutioner som museet samt i hemmet. Dessa tekniker och praktiker för minnes- och historieproduktion är ofta omdebatterade och sociala, ekonomiska, politiska och teknologiska villkor skapar både möjligheter och sätter gränser för historiemedvetandet under en viss epok så även vår egen. I "Minne, medier och materialitet", som är den tredje fristående delen i trebandsverket "Historiens hemvist", fokuserar fjorton forskare på minnespolitiska och historiografiska implikationer och mediala praktiker. De utgår från museer, arkiv, litterära och konstnärliga gestaltningar, liksom från rymden, i sina försök att tydliggöra de historiografiska praktikernas påverkan på vårt historiemedvetande och således på vårt sätt att minnas och förstå medier, platser och föremål som minnesbärande "monument". Volymen är redigerad av Johan Hegardt, docent i arkeologi och forskare vid Institutionen för kultur och lärande, Södertörns högskola, och Trond Lundemo, docent i filmvetenskap vid Institutionen för mediestudier, Stockholms universitet, båda knutna till forskningsprogrammet "Tid, minne, representation".

The Enlightenment has been blamed for some of the most deadly developments of modern life: racism and white supremacy, imperialist oppression, capitalist exploitation, neoliberal economics, scientific positivism, totalitarian rule. These developments are thought to have grown from principles that are rooted in the soil of the Enlightenment: abstraction, reduction, objectification, quantification, division, universalization. Michael McKeon’s collection corrects this defective view by historicizing the Enlightenment--by showing that the Enlightenment has been abstracted from its history. From its past: critics have ignored that Enlightenment thought is a reaction against deadly traditions that precede it. From its present: the Enlightenment extended its reactive analysis of the past to its own present through self-analysis and self-criticism. From its future: much of what’s been blamed amounts to the failure of its posterity to sustain Enlightenment principles. To historicize the Enlightenment requires that we conjure what it was like to live through the emergence of concepts and practices that are now commonplace-society, privacy, the public, the market, experiment, secularity, representative democracy, human rights, social class, sex and gender, fiction, the aesthetic attitude. McKeon’s collection argues the continuity of Enlightenment thought, its consistency and integrity across this broad range of conceptual domains. It also shows how the Enlightenment has shaped our views of both tradition and modernity, and the revisionary work that needs to be done in order to understand our place in the future. In the process, Historicizing the Enlightenment exemplifies a distinctive historiography and historical method.

As omnipresent as it is ungraspable, time has always inspired and eluded attempts to comprehend it. For the early Christians, for the twenty-first-century world, how have past and future been woven into the present? In Chronos, a leading French historian ranges from Western antiquity to the Anthropocene, pinpointing the crucial turning points in our relationship to time.François Hartog considers the genealogy of Western temporalities, examining the orders of time and their divisions into epochs. Beginning with how the ancient Greeks understood time, Chronos explores the fashioning of a Christian time in the early centuries of the Catholic Church. Christianity’s hegemony over time reigned over Europe and beyond, only to ebb as modern time—presided over by the notion of relentless progress—set out on its march toward the future. Hartog emphasizes the deep uncertainties the world now faces as we reckon with the arrival and significance of the Anthropocene age. Humanity has become capable of altering the climate, triggering in mere life spans changes that once took place across geological epochs. In this threatening new age, which has challenged all existing temporal constructions, what will become of the old ways of understanding time?Intertwining reflections on intellectual history and historiography with critiques of contemporary presentism and apocalypticism, Chronos brings depth and erudition to debates over the nature of the era we are living through and offers keen insight into the experience of historical time.

"Time Maps extends beyond all of the old clichés about linear, circular, and spiral patterns of historical process and provides us with models of the actual legends used to map history. It is a brilliant and elegant exercise in model building that provides new insights into some of the old questions about philosophy of history, historical narrative, and what is called straight history."-Hayden White, University of California, Santa CruzWho were the first people to inhabit North America? Does the West Bank belong to the Arabs or the Jews? Why are racists so obsessed with origins? Is a seventh cousin still a cousin? Why do some societies name their children after dead ancestors?As Eviatar Zerubavel demonstrates in Time Maps, we cannot answer burning questions such as these without a deeper understanding of how we envision the past. In a pioneering attempt to map the structure of our collective memory, Zerubavel considers the cognitive patterns we use to organize the past in our minds and the mental strategies that help us string together unrelated events into coherent and meaningful narratives, as well as the social grammar of battles over conflicting interpretations of history. Drawing on fascinating examples that range from Hiroshima to the Holocaust, from Columbus to Lucy, and from ancient Egypt to the former Yugoslavia, Zerubavel shows how we construct historical origins; how we tie discontinuous events together into stories; how we link families and entire nations through genealogies; and how we separate distinct historical periods from one another through watersheds, such as the invention of fire or the fall of the Berlin Wall.Most people think the Roman Empire ended in 476, even though it lasted another 977 years in Byzantium. Challenging such conventional wisdom, Time Maps will be must reading for anyone interested in how the history of our world takes shape.
