Historiography

A Cultural Approach

Akira Iriye, Harvard University, USA & Petra Goedde, Temple University, USA In place of the usual focus on great-power rivalries, diplomatic negotiations and military conflict, this book focuses on intercultural relations as individuals, races, religions, and non-state actors interact across national boundaries, to provide a fresh perspective on modern international history. Themes covered include nationalism and cosmopolitanism, migration, cross-cultural encounters, consumerism and youth cultures, environmental transformations and economic and technological globalization. Akira Iriye and Petra Goedde's approach offers a deeper understanding of international history, focusing on people and their cultures rather than just state level interactions.

Photographs and the Practice of History

A Short Primer

Elizabeth Edwards, De Montfort University, UK Structured around key concepts in historical methodology which are recognisable to all undergraduates, Photographs and the Practice of History shows that from the mid-19th century onward, photographs have influenced historical enquiry. Exposure to these mass-distributed cultural artefacts is enough to change our historical frameworks even when research is textually-based.

Modern Historiography in the Making

The German Sense of the Past, 1700-1900

Kasper Risbjerg Eskildsen, Roskilde University, Denmark At the end of the 19th century, German historical scholarship had grown to great prominence. Academics around the world imitated their German colleagues. Intellectuals described historical scholarship as a foundation of the modern worldview. To many, the modern age was an ‘age of history’. This book investigates how German historical scholarship acquired this status across the 18th and 19th centuries and offers a radical revision of the history of scholarship by focusing on practices of research and education.
