Historical Understanding : Past, Present, and Future
The first decades of the new century shake old certainties.In a whirlwind of profound changes, do we have more history or less?Does history overwhelm us in all domains of life or is historical understanding in yet another crisis?The answers do not come easily. The recent demise of humanities education, the technological alterations of our social lifeworlds and the human condition, the anthropogenic changes in the Earth system, the growing sense of memory, trauma and historical injustice as alternative approaches to the past, seem to entail contradictions and complexities that do not fit very well with our existing notions of historical understanding.Historical thought as we know it is facing manifold challenges, and we struggle to grasp a larger picture that could encompass them. Boasting a range of contributions from leading scholars, this volume attempts just that.In an innovative collection of short essays, Historical Understanding explores the current shape of historical understanding today, by surveying a variety of historical relations to the past, present, and future in the face of socio-political, ecological and technological upheavals. This book is an invaluable research tool for students and researchers alike, presenting a kaleidoscope-like overview of manifold new ways which we navigate “historically” in coping with present-day challenges, both in wider society and in historiography

Understanding Bakhtin, Understanding Modernism
Explores and illuminates the impact of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin on our understanding of literary modernism.

Understanding Cavell, Understanding Modernism
Stanley Cavell, undoubtedly one of the most singular and influential voices in contemporary philosophy, has written extensively on modernist art – particularly on painting, photography, music, and literature.He has also dedicated an impressive body of work to cinema, whose complex and nuanced status in regard to modernism constitutes one of Cavell’s main concerns.However, Cavell’s importance for understanding modernism is not exhausted by his interest in, and analyses of, modernist art and literature.Equally significant, and perhaps even more original, is his understanding of ordinary language philosophy as a modernist enterprise in its own terms.Following the template for the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series, this volume is divided into three distinct parts.The first part, "Conceptualizing Cavell," features introductory essays on Cavell’s most important works.The second part, "Cavell and Aesthetics," delves into more specific aspects and problems pertaining to Cavell’s aesthetics and its moral and political implications.The third part is an extended glossary of Cavell’s key words and concepts.

Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism
Over the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the most celebrated contemporary philosophers.His remarkably diverse body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is entirely "immersed" in modernity, as he puts it.Within this plural framework, art – which he explicitly defines as a modern construct – plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general, particularly as they relate to “our” experience of modernity.The contributors to Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism fully delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored modernism of Nancy’s writings on philosophy and the arts through close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In addition to an interview with Nancy himself, a final section consists of an extended glossary of Nancy’s signature terms, which will be a valuable resource for students and experts alike.

Clarifying the Past : Understanding Historical Commissions in Conflicted and Divided Societies
Clarifying the Past provides a comprehensive analysis of state-sponsored historical commissions operating in conflicted and divided societies, developing a theoretical and methodological framework within the historical dialogue paradigm, key to understanding the work of such commissions. The theoretical and methodological framework is complemented with an extensive empirical analysis of 27 historical commissions that operated in different social and political contexts from 1990s to the present.The detailed examination of these cases gives a broad perspective into the potential capacities of historical commissions in different settings.Although only sampling the most recent cases, this volume shows how the steady increase of the number of historical commissions indicates that we are not dealing with a marginal phenomenon.The increased recognition of the potential of historical commissions to address the legacies of contested pasts and potential introduction of such commissions to transitional justice, makes this book highly relevant. This book has been written with the objective of deepening and broadening the existing knowledge on state-sponsored historical commissions.Its intended audiences are scholars and practitioners in the fields of historical theory, public history, and historical dialogue, transitional justice, peace and conflict studies.

Empathy and History : Historical Understanding in Re-enactment, Hermeneutics and Education
Empathy and History offers a comprehensive and dual account of empathy’s intellectual and educational history.Beginning in an influential educational movement that implanted the concept in R.G.Collingwood’s re-enactment doctrine, the book goes back to reveal the fundamental role that empathy played in the foundation of the history discipline before tracing its reception and development in twentieth-century hermeneutics and philosophy of history.Attentive to matters of practice, it illuminates the distinct character of the historical context that empathetic understanding seeks to capture and sets out a new approach to empathy as a special variety of historical questioning.
