The Words Are Not the Same: Difference and Contemporary Historical Writing
About This Novel
Differences are ubiquitous in current historical research. Differences diversify our research objects and themes. Differences are changing our questioning methods. More importantly, the connection between differences and identity makes us have a more complex relationship with the research objects. This book is a collection of the results of the discussion on "Difference and Current Historical Writing", the second of the series of conferences "Writing History: Reflections in Practice" held in 2016. It shows the possibility of current historical research and also shows that differences emerge at different stages and levels of historical writing. Asking about difference is also asking, in historical writing, what is its antonym, and how do the entanglements of meaning associated with it emerge? The semantic changes of difference are caused by the accumulation of academic history and have penetrated into the daily practice of historians. From encountering "historical materials" to searching for explanations, and even encountering research results with readers, every step is closely related to difference.
