Inventing the new from the old – from White's ‘tropics’ to Vico's ‘topics’ (Referee's Report)
As usual, this paper arrived with the author's name deleted, but from the references within the text it is obvious that it is written by Eelco Runia. And so, as usual, Runia's originality, provocat
Nobody does it better’
This article is divided into two uneven parts. In the first the author outlines what he calls ‘the conditions of possibility’ for a radical history which will keep historical representations, hopefully, at work for political emancipation and empowerment of a left-wing kind. In the second part he sketches out how this ‘position’ relates to his reading of Hayden White
Cohen contra Ankersmit
Sande Cohen
In this paper, a general introduction to the work of Sande Cohen based (primarily) on his book-length treatments of historical culture in (especially) Western capitalist social formations, the significance and relevance of Cohen is argued for by way of his indexicality with such social formations in ways suggesting that his analyses cannot be avoided by all those who genuinely aspire to understand history and historical culture today unflinchingl…
The end of the affair
In this paper the author argues that there never has been, and there never will be, any entailed connection between history and ethics and that this is a ‘good thing’. This is not to say that, in practice, history is not governed throughout by ‘values’ (politics, ideology, etc.) and that ethics are not always ‘historical’ and similarly ‘governed’, but that there is no ‘formal connection’. It is argued that it is this ‘break’ that enables just any…
On History, Historians and Silence
In this short article I argue that, for Lyotard, the ethically responsible historian need not ‘fill in’ the ‘Silences of History’ by empirical noise; there are times when silence speaks volumes. The Holocaust/Auschwitz are examples of this; for Lyotard these are ‘test cases’ for the shortfall of the empirical, the shortfall of the epistemological, indicating the poverty of all forms of historical representation. And Lyotard is happy about this co…
Modernist Disavowals and Postmodern Reminders of the Condition of History Today
Arguing that modernist ‘epistemologically striving’ histories are constituted by what they disavow—that as a genre of literature history is necessarily, and primarily, the product of rhetorical figures and devices—Jean François Lyotard's work is used here in order to remind historians of both the failure of the empirical/epistemological and the actual aesthetic construct that all histories are...and always have been. It is argued, further, that d…
Ethical Responsibility and the Historian
In this article I try to answer the question posed by History and Theory's"call for papers"; namely, "do historians as historians have an ethical responsibility, and if so to whom and to what?" To do this I draw mainly (but not exclusively and somewhat unevenly) on three texts: Alain Badiou's Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil, J. F. Lyotard's The Differend, and Edward Said's Representations of the Intellectual; Jacques Derrida and Ric…
Refiguring History
In this engaging sequel to Rethinking History, Keith Jenkins argues for a re-figuration of historical study. At the core of his survey lies the realization that objective and disinterested histories as well as historical 'truth' are unachievable. The past and questions about the nature of history remain interminably open to new and disobedient approaches. Jenkins reassesses conventional history in a bold fashion. His committed and radical study p…
Rethinking History
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. 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? The perfect introduction to this thought-provoking area, Jenkins' clear and concise prose guides readers through the controversies and debates that surround historical t…
On disobedient histories
I argue that what is brilliant about historians’ representations of the past is that they are always ‘failed representations’ and that this, rather than being regretted, is the ‘best thing to be hoped for’. It is to be eagerly embraced because it allows new ways of historicizing/shaping/figuring the past, ways which, without being prescriptive, are essayed in the form of ‘dispositions’ in the final section
A Postmodern Reply to Perez Zagorin
This article engages with the arguments forwarded by Perez Zagorin against the possible consequences of postmodernism for history as it is currently conceived of particularly in its “proper” professional/academic form (“History, the Referent, and Narrative: Reflections on Postmodernism Now,” History and Theory 38 [1999], 1‐24). In an overtly positioned response which issues from a close reading of Zagorin's text, I argue that his all‐too‐typical …

Why Bother with the Past? Engaging with some issues raised by the possible ‘end of history as we have known it’
It seems rather obvious to say that perhaps the main reason why historians study the past is because they consider that what this work may produce ‐ a historical consciousness ‐ is a good thing. But today, beyond this minimalist intention, common endeavour and agreement collapse. For given that it is the idea of the good which defines the desired type of consciousness; that is, if a good historical consciousness is anything the definer so stipula…
Predictive accuracy of bioelectrical impedance equations for women
This study assessed the predictive accuracy of age‐ and fatness‐specific BIA equations in estimating the fat‐free mass (FFM) of a heterogeneous sample (N = 152) of women, 20–72 years (yr), with 11–57% body fat (BF). The criterion method was hydrostatic weighing (HW) at residual volume. The Siri (Siri [1961] Natl. Acad. Sci., pp. 78–89) two‐component model was used to convert body density into relative body fat (% BF) for calculation of criterion …
Predictive accuracy of bioelectrical impedance equations corrected for fat‐free body size
This study examined whether the predictive accuracy of age‐specific bioelectrical impedance (BIA) equations was improved when estimated fat‐free body (FEB BIA ) was corrected for the influence of FFB size on whole body resistance (WBR) and residual errors of prediction for 152 women, ages 20–72 years. The criterion measure of FFB (FFB HD ) was obtained from hydrostatic weighing at residual volume (RV). FFB BIA was predicted from age‐specific equa…
Validity of single‐site and multi‐site models for estimating body composition of women using near‐infrared interactance
The purpose of this study was to develop a multi‐site near‐infrared (NIR) model (Model I) and compare its predictive accuracy to single‐site models (IIA and IIB). In Model I, the sum of two optical density (OD) measures (Σ2OD), age, body weight, height, and physical activity level were used as potential predictors of body density (D b ). In Model IIA, the variables used in the manufacturer's NIR equation (biceps OD 1 and OD 2 , body weight, heigh…
