History means many things to many people. But finding an answer to the question 'What is history?' is a task few feel equipped to answer nowadays. And yet, at the same time, history has never been more popular - whether in the press, on the television or at the movies. In understanding our present it seems we cannot escape the past. So if you want to explore this tantalising subject, where do you start? What are the critical skills you need to begin to make sense of the past? Keith Jenkins' book is the perfect introduction. In clear, concise prose it guides the reader through the controversies and debates that surround historical thinking at the present time, and offers readers the means to make their own discoveries.

評分早兩年看這本書的話,我可能會十分睏惑,同麵對哲學的懷疑主義一樣,一不小心就掉入瞭虛無主義的深淵。在發現什麼都不確定的事實之後,變得痛苦又沮喪。兩年之後再來看纔發現真正的信息被我徹底遺漏,不確定性打破的隻是幻想的夢“鏡”,自身的價值不是毀滅而是機會。這是一個能帶來無數可能的機會,一個能重新無數次發問的機會。從現代主義到後現代主義,曾經的“中心”被推翻再推翻;人們對待真相的態度也變成懷疑更懷疑。在破碎又強大的後現代語境中,絕對懷疑除瞭最初帶來的驚愕,已經失去瞭力量和價值。我想,不管是羅素的《哲學的問題》還是Keith的Rethinking History,其實都在說一件事:“追求一個,有且隻有一個的真相是看不到落日的長徵。在這個時代,不確定性或許是個福音,給每個可能帶來瞭話語。所以大膽地質問吧!

評分History is a shifting, problematic discourse, ostensibly about an aspect of the world, the past, that is produced by a group of present-minded workers who go about their work in mutually recognizable ways that are epistemologically, methodologically, ideologically and practically positioned and whose products, once in circulation, are subject to a series of users and abuses that are logically infinite but which in actuality generally correspond to a range of power bases that exist at any given moment and which structure and distribute the meanings of histories along a dominant-marginal spectrum.
