This book aims to fill this gap by exploring the ontologies and ontological units that can feed and inspire historical work and methods. Events and actuality will be at the center of our propositions about historicity. The central philosophical stake for historians is to conceptualize and operationalize properly what is happening in the past and the becoming of that past in the present, the past, and the future. It is to go beyond the usual boundaries of our present, to restore the strangeness (for “us” in the present of our reading) and ordinariness (for “them” in the present of their past experience) of the processes of experience and organization at stake in historical accounts. But crossing these boundaries is a difficult, complex, and even dangerous task. We must carefully question an excess of continuities with “our” present, the invisibility of domination and injustice, the projection of the present, and anachronism.

摘要

This book aims to fill this gap by exploring the ontologies and ontological units that can feed and inspire historical work and methods. Events and actuality will be at the center of our propositions about historicity. The central philosophical stake for historians is to conceptualize and operationalize properly what is happening in the past and the becoming of that past in the present, the past, and the future. It is to go beyond the usual boundaries of our present, to restore the strangeness (for “us” in the present of our reading) and ordinariness (for “them” in the present of their past experience) of the processes of experience and organization at stake in historical accounts. But crossing these boundaries is a difficult, complex, and even dangerous task. We must carefully question an excess of continuities with “our” present, the invisibility of domination and injustice, the projection of the present, and anachronism.
