Автобиографическое в научном нарративе: история и личный опыт историка (предварительные заметки)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of autobiographical information in historian’s academic narrative. The emerging post-non-classical science is transforming the subject-object dichotomy towards dialogue. Characteristic of this process is the more pronounced presence of autobiographical information in the academic’s text. The author shows the development of these trends using the example of foreign and domestic historical writing. A preliminary systematization of the nature of the autobiographical (personal) information presented in the academic-historical narrative is carried out. Attention is drawn to the fact that a story about the experience of a historian can be placed both in a monograph (introduction or main part) and in an article. The academicians are increasingly willing to share information about how their investigation was conceived, how sources were collected, and the research process itself. Among the important trends, the dependence of the historian’s personal information presented on the research subject of studying is highlighted. Thus, the experience of talking about oneself in studies of subjectivity seems characteristic. The author pays special attention to the experience of “lyrical historiography” by I.V. Narsky, who proposed in contemporary Russian historical writing perhaps the most radical version of the knowledge’s subject presence in the academic narrative.
