Beskrivning
Although not a professional historian, the author raises several issues pertinent to the state of history today.Qualifying the "non-historian" as an "able" interventionist in historical studies, the author explores the relationship between history and theory within the current epistemological configurations and re-figurations. He asks how history transcends the obsessive "linguistic" turn, which has been hegemonizing literary/discourse analysis, and focuses greater attention on historical experience and where history stands in relation to our understanding of ethics, religion, and the current state of global politics that underlines the manipulation and abuse of history.

Recensioner i media

"[A] fascinating account of Indian historical consciousness and of how India relates to its past." * From the Foreword "Ranjan Ghosh has written an original and important work - The quality of the thinking and argument is very high - Ghosh has managed to construct the book in a very clever way so as to bring together an exact and engaging meditation on current state of the philosophy and theory of history and an important historiographical examination of how India relates to its past." * Ethan Kleinberg, Wesleyan University "This is an outstanding and remarkable book, beautifully written and meticulously structured. The main virtue of the text is that it operates on several levels, allowing for a wide readership without sacrificing profundity and originality - [I]t integrates theoretical acumen with a profound meditation on love and the nature of emotional and affective relations. It is distinguished from anything else in its field but is not negatively polemical." * Claire Colebrook, Penn State University
