Historical Culture: On the Recoding of an Academic Discipline

Abstract

In a challenge to contemporary historians and cultural critics, this book proposes that the autonomy and necessity of history, and the concepts of historicity and historicality, are academic myths which block critical access to the reality of the present. For Professor Cohen, narrative history promotes a false comparability of past and present, which renders the present unknowable.
