Necroheritage
This theoretical article outlines the main ideas and concepts of “necroheritage”, focusing particularly on remains, artefacts, mass graves, clandestine burial sites and killing sites as a specific type of cultural-natural heritage. It introduces the concept of “necrocide” in the context of mass killings and genocides to refer to the mechanical and chemical destruction of remains and graves intended to conceal mass crimes and obstruct or at least …
Expanding the Boundaries of the Analytical Philosophy of History
This introductory article outlines the intellectual agenda of the special issue “Current Trends in the Analytical Philosophy of History.” It identifies a marked shift in the field: from the traditional focus on formal, ontological, and epistemological foundations of historical knowledge toward broader engagement with the practical, social, and political functions of historiography. The contributions gathered in this issue reflect this trend, empl…
Revisiting Montaillou
Based on extensive scholarship in English and French, this article offers an analytical survey of both the laudatory and critical reception of Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie's Montaillou (1975). I revisit the Latin text of Jacques Fournier's register and compare it with relevant fragments in the French and English translations of Montaillou. This comparison provides a starting point to comment on Le Roy Ladurie's novelistic writing style and the "hypnot…

The ethics of narrative
This article is a collaborative commentary on the first volume of a two-part anthology of works by Hayden White, The Ethics of Narrative, edited by Robert Doran. Informed by the collection and inspired by the co-authors, in this paper we discuss White's writing. Herman Paul compares White's constructivism with that of Berger and Luckmann, and discusses the extent to which the tools of historical narrative criticism developed by White are expediti…
Zastanawiając się nad historią w czasach permanentnego kryzysu
Zapis wystąpienia podejmuje problem zmieniających się relacji pomiędzy różnymi lokalnymi i indygenicznymi wiedzami o przeszłości a historią akademicką. Autorka twierdzi, że w tych różnych wiedzach zachodzą procesy, które przybliżają je do siebie, jeżeli chodzi o zbieżność celów, metod i podejść do aktualnych problemów. W sytuacji coraz to nowszych kryzysów i zagrożeń badaczka promuje idee historii potencjalnej Arielli Azoulay, ujmowanej jako rodz…
Mikrobiologia obecności. O sztuce Anny Zagrodzkiej
This article locates Anna Zagrodzka's project Alternaria alternata in the context of reflections on the relations between genocide and ecocide as manifested in problems of conservation of Nazi extermination camps. The artist's photographs depicting elements of the landscape of death camps chronicle the events and processes of deterioration that result from objects, such as buildings, walls, fences and plants, being inhabited by bacteria, fungi an…
The Legacies of the Holocaust Beyond the Human and Across a Longer durée (In Response to Omer Bartov, Eric Katz and Jessica Rapson)
We are grateful to Omar Bartov, Eric Katz and Jessica Rapson for their comments and critical remarks regarding the articles published in the special issue on “The Environmental History of the Holoc
The Paternalistic Liberation of History by Theory
Este artigo revisitará as tensas relações entre “practicing historians” e teóricos/filósofos da história. A abordagem dualista descrita, por exemplo, no livro Haunting History (2017) de Ethan Kleinberg e no manifesto de autoria de Kleinberg, Joan Wallach Scott e Gary Wilder intitulado "Theses on Theory and History" (2018) destaca a divisão e sustenta tensões entre essas duas "tribos". Identifico uma posição expressa nos textos acima que clama pel…
Jerzy Topolski’s Marxist Anthropocentrism
In this article I demonstrate that the ideas outlined in Jerzy Topolski’s Methodology of History (Polish 1968, English translation 1976) could not only offer a reference point for and indeed enrich ongoing debates in the philosophy of history, but also help to set directions for future developments in the field. To support my argument, I focus on two themes addressed in Topolski’s work: 1) the understanding of the methodology of history as a sepa…
Anthropocenic historical knowledge
In the form of a conversational exchange of ideas, Ewa Domańska, Zoltán Boldizsár Simon and Marek Tamm reflect on the condition and role of historical knowledge in the Anthropocene. In the conversation on the potential of ‘anthropocenic historical knowledge’ – including the limitations and use of the term – each author offers and elaborates on one main theme for discussion, on which the other two co-authors reflect: Tamm begins by posing the ques…
Prefigurative Humanities
In this article, I propose that a future-oriented project of prefigurative humanities will provide a much-needed framework for fostering alternative ways of approaching the past beyond history. I consider whether such future-oriented humanities, which are guided by the idea of critical hope and epistemic justice (understood as the inclusion of knowledges created in "epistemic peripheries"), might provide critical tools for imagining different sce…
Archaeological Theory
Re-Figuring Hayden White
Produced in honor of White's eightieth birthday, Re-Figuring Hayden White testifies to the lasting importance of White's innovative work, which firmly reintegrates historical studies with literature and the humanities. The book is a major reconsideration of the historian's contributions and influence by an international group of leading scholars from a variety of disciplines. Individual essays address the key concepts of White's intellectual care…
Unbinding from Humanity
This article shows that the question of “Historical Thinking and the Human” demands expanding the field of the philosophy of history. What I propose is to investigate the issue from two perspectives: firstly, by positioning it in the broader philosophical context, one that increasingly transcends the boundaries of the humanities to enter the realm of the life sciences; and secondly, by drawing on a wider range of analytical material than has usua…
Dekonstruktywistyczne podejście do przeszłości
Zacznę od parafrazy znanego stwierdzenia Claude'a Lévi-Straussa i powiem, że dla mnie -historyka z wykształcenia, antropologa z zamiłowania (a archeologa z niespełnionego powołania) -książka Ethana Kleinberga jest jedną z tych publikacji, które czyta się z dużym zainteresowaniem i przyjemnością nie dlatego, że "nadają się do jedzenia" (w istocie może się ona okazać trudna do przełknięcia dla historyków, którzy są sceptyczni wobec teorii i mają al…
The Environmental History of the Holocaust
The introduction conceptualizes environmental history of the Holocaust as a subdiscipline of Holocaust studies. The authors approach this emerging field of research through the context of environmental humanities with its current interest in the Anthropocene, soil science, forensics, multispecies collectives, and explorations of relations between ecocides and genocides. Proposed approach considers post-Holocaust spaces and landscapes as specific …
The Environmental History of Mass Graves
The author presents an ecological-necrological perspective on the ontology of the human dead body and remains in the context of Holocaust studies. The article examines the environmental history of mass graves and reflects on the ontological status and condition of human remains. The author proposes an approach that combines humanities and soil sciences while thinking about post-genocidal spaces and sites of mass killings in order to discuss the i…
Globalizing Hayden White
This conversation originated in a plenary session organized by Ewa Domańska and María Inés La Greca under the same title of ‘Globalizing Hayden White’ at the III International Network for Theory of History Conference ‘Place and Displacement: The Spacing of History’ held at Södertörn University, Stockholm, in August 2018. In order to pay homage to Hayden White’s life work 5 months after his passing we knew that what was needed – and what he himsel…
Afirmativní humanitní vědy
Studie představuje stručný nástin širšího výzkumného projektu tzv. afirmativních humanitních věd. V návaznosti na koncepty afirmativní etiky a politiky, jež rozvíjí Rosi Braidotti, navrhuji pojetí afirmativních humanitních věd jako posunu od postmoderního zájmu o apokalypsu, katastrofy, zanikání, trauma, utrpení, prázdno, mlčení a exkluzi. Afirmativní humanitní vědy chápu jako do budoucnosti orientovaný projekt, jenž rozvrhuje budoucnost více v p…
Is This Stone Alive? Prefiguring the Future Role of Archaeology
By reflecting on new and emerging perspectives and trends in the contemporary humanities and social sciences, including the critique of anthropocentrism, Eurocentrism and secularism, the questioning of human epistemic authority over knowledge building, the 'indigenization of the academy', and debates over the applicability of the humanities to the problems of the contemporary world, the author identifies tendencies that are relevant to discussion…
Animal History
This review reflects on animal history as a subfield of the discipline of history and presents its main arguments and future tasks. Its main goal is to identify the new research prospects and potentials proposed by the book edited by Susan Nance, The Historical Animal . These include such topics as the problem of “the animal's point of view,” animal agency (animals understood as “historical” agents and actors), the problem of identifying traces o…
The Material Presence of the Past
This article deals with the material presence of the past and the recent call in the human sciences for a "return to things." This renewed interest in things signals a rejection of constructivism and textualism and the longing for what is "real," where "regaining" the object is conceived as a means for re-establishing contact with reality. In the context of this turn, we might wish to reconsider the (ontological) status of relics of the past and …
Some Reflections on Heritage and Archaeology in the Anthropocene
Are we now living in a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene? Geo-scientists discuss whether there is a need for a new concept covering the last 250 years' immense human impact on the earth. How are we going to understand and define ‘heritage’ and archaeology in a rapidly changing global environment? The ‘linguistic turn’ in humanities and social sciences has had a huge impact on both archaeology and heritage studies since c. 1980. A criti…
Toward the Archaeontology of the dead body
The postmodern breakthrough revealed the limitations of history understood as the dominant approach to the past, but it does not follow that history should be abandoned. We might wish, rather, to try to seek an alternative to history, or at least a supplement to it. The search for such an alternative could begin on the border between archaeology and history, where the status of material culture and historical sources can be investigated. Contempo…

Frank Ankersmit
This paper analyzes key issues in the work of Frank Ankersmit: narrative, representation and sublime historical experience. It argues that his recent turn to experience marks a shift from an interest in narrative and the textual dimension of the past to an examination of the notion of an experience about the past. It suggests that although Ankersmit is usually associated with postmodernist avangardism in historical theory (narrativism, constructi…

Ecological Humanities
Archaeology of the Anthropocene
What role will archaeology play in the Anthropocene – the proposed new geological epoch marked by human impact on Earth systems? That is the question discussed by thirteen archaeologists and other scholars from five continents in this thought-provoking forum. Their responses are diverse and wide-ranging. While Edward Harris looks to archaeological stratigraphy for a material paradigm of the Anthropocene, Alice Gorman explores the extent of human …

Hayden White and liberation historiography
This text deals with issues which for the past decade preoccupied Hayden White's reflection. These are issues such as the practical past, the social role of history, global capitalism, the modern state, anarchism, utopia and the emancipatory role of the humanities. White has repeatedly stressed the ambivalent connections between utopia and history, the reductive and disciplinary character of science, as well as the oppressive nature of the state.…
A conversation with Hayden White
This conversation deals with basic issues of historical knowledge, such as the nature of historical reality, the distinction between fact and event, the social function of historical knowledge, and the utility of ‘methodology’ in the study of history, as understood by Hayden White. It also addresses the problem of distinguishing between methods and conventions in historical research. White presents his idea of a ‘progressive history’ and advocate…
Hayden White
A crisis of our age that is usually identified with the loss of the sacred was one of the causes of the fall into irony in the nineteenth century. In the case of historians, asHayden White has shown in Metahistory, this irony was caused by a"bitterness" stemming from the failure of reality to fulfill their expectations. Anironic apprehension of the world arose in an atmosphere of social breakdown or cultural decline.A current stage of irony manif…

Encounters
Frustrated with the usual methods of scholarly inquiry, Ewa Domanska hit upon the idea of interviewing some of the world's most original and important theorists and philosophers of history to get at the heart of contemporary understandings of The result is Encounters, an exciting collection of these dialogues. So old-fashioned as to seem revolutionary, the interview format allows for a concise presentation of the main ideas of each writer, provid…

Chris Lorenz's idea of conceptual inversion
The text deals with Chris Lorenz’s idea of conceptual inversion, understood as an epistemological blockade that stands as a barrier to the development of a proper theory of humanities and social sciences. According to Lorenz, the methodological and theoretical views of scientific programmes embody negations (i.e. inversions) of the views being criticized by them. Because of this process of “turning upside down”, many of the conceptual problems co…

Sprawiedliwość epistemiczna w humanistyce zaangażowanej
Artykuł podejmuje kwestie współzależności między ideą „nauki powolnej” (slow science), tj. kładącej nacisk na jakość prowadzonych badań oraz formacyjną rolę uczenia i praktykowania badań naukowych, a kwestią sprawiedliwości epistemicznej i zwróconej ku przyszłości humanistyki prefiguratywnej. Proponuje, by uznać sprawiedliwość epistemiczną za dyrektywę sterująca prowadzonymi w ramach tej humanistyki badaniami, a także za jeden ze środków w proces…
