Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two decades ago, historical practice in the United States and Europe was challenged by social historians with behaviorist approaches which diverged dramatically from the discipline's traditional preferences for textual evidence. Such accounts explained occurrences in terms of individual intention and a narrative presentation of results. This shift of emphasis in social history was toward routinely generated accounts of individual behavior treated quantitatively, explanations made in terms of functional or economically rational behavior, and presentations that incorporated the social-science formalization of hypothesis and test. But such behaviorist trends by no means swept the field of social history, and today's historical practices go in yet another direction. Today what is widely called for involves actor-centered accounts that do not focus upon individuals to the exclusion of groups, markets, cultures, and other socially defined fields of action, and that consider power in human societies as well as the limitations upon that power. Recognizing that historical practices as well as method and discourse are in flux, Theory, Method, and Practice in Social and Cultural History is the result of the second biennial conference of the Pittsburgh Center for Social History, in which a number of the best scholars in the field reflect on the current situation in historical writing and research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by members of the Social Imaginaries Editorial Collective, these programmatic essays showcase new critical interventions in understandings of social imaginaries and the human condition. They include a new comparative approach to theorizing Castoriadis, Ricoeur, and Taylor; the rethinking of the creative imagination in relation to common sense; analyses of political imaginaries in neoliberal and constitutional contexts from perspectives drawing on Gauchet and Lefort; and the taking up questions of historical continuity and discontinuity in civilizational worlds. In addressing pressing questions concerning social imaginaries, the book advances the field as a whole. The book includes a Foreword by George H. Taylor. This book is a must-read for all scholars interested in social and political imaginaries and will appeal to researchers and graduate students working across a wide variety of disciplines in the human sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy, Science, and History: A Guide and Reader is a compact overview of the history and philosophy of science that aims to introduce students to the groundwork of the field, and to stimulate innovative research. The general introduction focuses on scientific theory change, assessment, discovery, and pursuit. Part I of the Reader begins with classic texts in the history of logical empiricism, including Reichenbach’s discovery-justification distinction. With careful reference to Kuhn’s analysis of scientific revolutions, the section provides key texts analyzing the relationship of HOPOS to the history of science, including texts by Santayana, Rudwick, and Shapin and Schaffer. Part II provides texts illuminating central debates in the history of science and its philosophy. These include the history of natural philosophy (Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, Kant, Hume, and du Châtelet in a new translation); induction and the logic of discovery (including the Mill-Whewell debate, Duhem, and Hanson); and catastrophism versus uniformitarianism in natural history (Playfair on Hutton and Lyell; de Buffon, Cuvier, and Darwin). The editor’s introductions to each section provide a broader perspective informed by contemporary research in each area, including related topics. Each introduction furnishes proposals, including thematic bibliographies, for innovative research questions and projects in the classroom and in the field.

Download or read book The Uses of Style in Archaeology written by Margaret Wright Conkey and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1990 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together essays that illustrate the different uses and interpretations of style in archaeology. Style is a widely discussed and controversial issue, which has always been central for archaeological interpretation. The collection considers the history of style in archaeology, its relationship to the concept of style in art history and how stylistic analyses will differ according to different initial assumptions. The essays show how stylistic interpretation works at different levels and they debate stylistic terminologies and concepts. Although these essays show that there is no unified theory of style, they underline the importance of continuing creative discussion through different themes and individual case studies.
