Historical Parallels, Commemoration and Icons

Andreas Leutzsch

4.9/5 (18891 ratings)

Description:Historical parallels, analogies, anachronisms and metaphors to the past play a crucial role in political speeches, historical narratives, iconography, movies and newspapers on a daily basis. They frame, articulate and represent a specific understanding of history and can be used to construct, but also to rethink, historical continuity. Almost forgotten or sleeping history can be revived to legitimize an imagined future in a political discourse today.History can hardly be neutral or factual because it depends on the historian's, as well the people's, perspective as to what kind of events and sources they combine to make history meaningful. Analysing historical analogies - as embedded in narratives and images of the past - enables us to understand how history and collective memory are managed and used for political purposes and to provide social orientation in time and space.To rethink theories of history, iconology and collective memory, the authors of this volume discuss a variety of cases from Hong Kong, China and Europe.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
