Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Making History is a comprehensive textbook which explores the practice of history, historical tradition and the theories which surround it. Discussing the development and growth of history as a discipline and of the profession of the historian, the book encompasses a huge diversity of influences, and is organised around the following themes: * The Professionalisation of History : A study of the institutionalisation and organisation of history, including methodology, 'scientific' history and the problem of objectivity, and the primacy of political history. * Challenges to the Statist Paradigm: An assessment of the most significant movements in historical scholarship in the last century, including the Annales School, and the development of social and economic history. * Interdisciplinarity: An enquiry into the increasingly interdisciplinary trends in scholarship, revealing the interconnections between history, archaeology, psychoanalysis, sociology, anthropology, and literature; scholars from non-historical disciplines have contributed to provide a unique approach to a controversial debate.* Social Movements and Theory into History: An investigation into the penetration of theory into historical practice, examining the social movements and ideologies that propelled the change, including Marxism, post-modernism and gender history. * Beyond the Academy: An exploration of the changes in historical practice with reference to film, 'amateur' history, heritage and popular culture. With a conclusion that draws these issues together in an assessment of the relationship between history, power and politics, Making History offers a clear and indispensable guide to the subject for students of historiography, and theory and method in history. This title is a comprehensive exploration of the practice of history, historical tradition and the theories which surround it. Encompassing a huge diversity of influences, it is organized around themes such as crises and transformations and theories into history.
