Sociální dějiny – paměť – medievistika
Dějepisectví jako výzva is the result of research published over the past six years, a period profoundly shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. The essays and studies collected in this volume address issues grouped into three thematic areas: social history, historical memory and memory politics, and major figures of Central European historiography from the 1950s to the 1980s.
In addition to analytical studies examining the origins of such influential concepts as Táborite communism, the bourgeois revolution, and the categories of the rich and the poor, the author critically assesses the contribution of several prominent Czech historians—Jaroslav Mezník, František Šmahel, Josef Válka, and Robert Kalivoda—to European historical scholarship. The volume also includes programmatic reflections on the contemporary challenges of social history, as well as on the various forms of memory politics and the deliberate misuse of memory politics in the Czech Republic.
Dějepisectví jako výzva follows two of the author’s earlier works devoted to the history and theory of nineteenth- and twentieth-century historiography: Dějepisectví mezi vědou a politikou: Úvahy o historiografii 19. a 20. století (2007) and Na vlnách dějin: minulost, přítomnost a budoucnost českého dějepisectví (2020).
