Convergence of Literature and History: 'The Bridge on the Drina' in the Context of Historiographic Metafiction

While the boundary between the disciplines of literature and history has come into question due to the problematization of their ontological natures, their textuality and similar narrative technics stand out as two main elements among the other intersections. As the criticisms of objectivity directed at history have echoed in literary studies, literary works where historical facts and fiction cluster have taken it one step further and rendered it possible to discuss the matter more broadly with cultural aspects. In The Bridge on the Drina, it is seen that the main arch of the narration proceeds along the historical realities, and yet Ivo Andrić’s sole aim is not to put forward a classic historical novel. In fact, rather than foregrounding the realities in question and erasing the fictive elements, he presents a kind of alternative history by palpably bringing together the historical and the fictional. Hence, the aim of this study is to argue that in The Bridge on the Drina, the boundary between history and literature gets blurred and their conventional characteristics get problematised. Presenting views from both historical and literary studies, the primary theoretical frame will be based on the notion of historiographic metafiction.

High school and history teaching in Brazil: historical overview and current guidelines

This bibliographic research is part of an effort to understand High School education in our country through the analysis of the National Guidelines and Curricular Parameters, with theoretical support from the discussions raised by the consulted bibliography, highlighting especially Décio Gatti Junior, Itamar Freitas, and Maria Inês Sucupira Stamatto. The expansion of this segment of education throughout Brazil shows the need to understand the nature and the various changes it underwent during the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the role of the history discipline and its current configuration in the Guidelines and Curricular Parameters. It is observed, through research in articles and other academic texts, that High School education has had different conceptions, ranging from preparation for university courses to technical vocational training for the job market, and this ambiguity permeates the legislation relevant to it. So, this article intends to bring some statements about High School in a changing world.

Situating knowledges, making kin and telling stories: Geographical encounters with Donna J Haraway

Donna Haraway has been a constant presence in geographical thought and practice over the past 30 years. From her early and very influential essay on Situated Knowledges, to her more recent engagements with the Anthropocene in Staying with the Trouble, her work has become a key reference point for questioning the production of geographical knowledge. In this commentary I trace the influence of Haraway's thought on geographical scholarship, exploring how it both shapes our disciplinary histories and provides a critical lens upon them. In particular I highlight how Haraway's work informs feminist and more-than-human geographies, resonates with Indigenous ontologies and challenges geographers to reflect critically on the implications of their positionality and provinciality for academic research.

Romani American history: Historical absences and their consequences

American historians have created an historical absence by ignoring Romani people’s presence in evidence from the past. The origins of this “absence-ing” are multifaceted and interrelated, but fundamentally stem from the continued influence of out-of-date and unprofessional ways of thinking and knowing. Examining and understanding “absence-ing” requires a consideration of the nature of the discipline of history as well as a history of the missing historicization of Romani Americans. The consequences of the “absence-ing” of Romani people from American histories have negatively and distinctively influenced four different groups of people: historians of the Americas; historians of Romani people in Europe; Romani studies scholars of the Americas who are not historians; and Romani Americans. The harm that each of these four groups experiences builds upon and influences the others. Epistemic injustice is thus perpetuated in linked ways.

Historiographic Comics and Abina and the Important Men

ABSTRACT: Comics have long been praised as a medium ideal for nonfiction, and especially for memoirs of experiences in historic events such as war and persecution. I analyze Liz Clarke and Trevor R. Getz’s Abina and the Important Men: A Graphic History (first edition 2012), the first and most successful of Oxford University Press’s Graphic History Series. This series of collaborations between historians and artists exemplifies comics’ capability for nuanced historical representation. OUP’s Graphic History Series are graphic and prose textbooks aimed at high-school and college-level readers, the goal of which is not merely to relay historical facts, but rather to invite readers into historical inquiry, investigating how history becomes knowable as well as the material factors that limit and distort historical knowledge. Abina illuminates one woman’s quest to claim agency for her own life against the entangled forces of slavery, British colonialism, and West African patriarchy. Like the other titles that follow it in the series, Abina and the Important Men is composed of several parts, parts which combine to articulate “History” as a process rather than a simple object of knowledge. The comics portion of the textbook makes strategic use of the medium’s formal potential to complicate notions of time and space, and to exploit dissonances between individuals’ speeches, as well as between verbal and visual representation. These formal manipulations support Abina and the Important Men ’s interrogation of historical practices and invite inquiry into disciplinary history.

“Protean Mechanism”: Robert Willis and the Technics of Architectural History

Abstract Robert Willis’s writing in the nineteenth century was foundational to the development of the discipline of architectural history. Closely related to other Cambridge scientists, including William Farish and William Whewell, Willis deployed similar methods and forms of conceptualization in his writings about medieval architecture. He focused on five areas in particular: the isometric projection, the building as kit-of-parts, detailed technical forms of description using illustrations and specialized vocabularies, the machine tool, and new tools for measuring cogwheels and architectural profiles. Using an interdisciplinary approach and drawing upon contemporary ideas of political economy by Karl Marx and Charles Babbage, this article resituates Willis’s writing in the context of the separation of manual from intellectual labor under industrial capitalism, arguing that the architectural historian was complicit both with the forms of abstraction required of professionalization and with the alienation of labor.

Evolving Narratives: Intersection of Gender and History

This study explores the evolution of gender roles and identities through historical scholarship, analyzing both seminal and contemporary studies. It highlights the dynamic and complex nature of gender as a social construct across different periods and cultures. The study emphasizes the need for a global perspective and interdisciplinary insights to enrich the historiography of gender. It provides a nuanced understanding of the past, encouraging a more inclusive and critical approach to historical narratives. The study reaffirms the vital role of historical analysis in illuminating the intricate interplay between gender and society, offering valuable contributions to the discipline of history and fostering a deeper appreciation for the complexity of human experiences through time.

Archaeology and Special Historical Disciplines at Lviv University: Obvious and Less Obvious Parallels and Intersections

In the article, the history of the development of Archaeology and Special (Auxiliary) Historical Disciplines at the Lviv University (the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv) is traced. The close relationship is emphasised between the teaching and learning of these sciences from the time of the creation of the classical university in Lviv to the present day, as well as the corresponding educational activities, and scientific achievements.

Disability and gender in the history of geographical exploration: Understanding Isabella Bird Bishop as a disabled geographer

AbstractStudying the life and travels of the Victorian explorer Isabella Bird Bishop offers important insights into the history of disabled people within the discipline of geography. Bird Bishop is an important figure within geography's disciplinary history, as one of the first women admitted to the Royal Geographical Society in 1892. She also had a long‐standing spinal condition that intermingled with psychological symptoms. In studying how her disability (and contemporary understandings of her body) shaped her travels, this paper shows how disability interacted with Bird Bishop's racial and gender identity in shaping where and how she travelled and how she wrote about her experiences. By drawing attention to the role that disability played in justifying her travels and the positive effect travel had on her health, this paper highlights her generally positive experiences of geographical travel as a disabled person.

Images of international thinkers

Abstract This article analyses photographic portraits of three international thinkers – Merze Tate, Margery Perham, and Susan Strange – to shed new light on the intellectual and disciplinary history of Internationa Relations (IR). Photographic portraits are ubiquitous, and feminist intellectual recovery projects lend themselves to photographic representation. But IR’s historians have neglected portraits. Drawing together two thriving IR subfields for the first time, visual studies and international intellectual history, this article demonstrates the theoretical and historical gains from analysing portraits of international thinkers. When read alongside other primary and secondary sources, portraits can enable new ways of seeing IR’s history and specific thinkers, offering a distinctive and powerful resource for new narratives about the professional, gendered, and racialised contexts of international thought.

The Empire Cites Back: The Occlusion of Non-Western Histories of IR and the Case of India

The call for a ‘global’ and ‘post-Western’ international relations (IR) discipline is rightly gathering momentum, yet arguably this research agenda contains presumptions as to the absence of a historical tradition of IR thinking in places such as India. Turning attention to marginalized histories of Indian IR, this commentary on the global IR debate offers a historical corrective to these presumptions and calls for greater attention to extra-European disciplinary histories. In so doing, important patterns of co-constitution reveal the connected histories of disciplinary development that challenge the analytical categories that often characterize the global IR and post-Western IR literature. A more historicized global IR debate offers a fruitful research agenda that explores the multiple connected beginnings of IR as a global discipline responsive to a variety of intellectual lineages, encompassing a variety of political purposes and revealing entanglements of imperial and anti-imperial knowledge.

THE UNCERTAIN STUFF OF HISTORY: OUTLINE OF A THEORY OF INTENTIONALITY—THING BY THING

ABSTRACTThis article addresses the issue of historical knowledge in relation to material evidence. More specifically, it asks, What objects capture the historian's attention and what knowledge is gained from those objects? What does the historian's gaze select as “things of history” and thus as removed from a world of object assemblages and fluid matter? Is it the case that only artifacts deliberately produced or modified by humans (regardless of the purpose) count as “things of history”? Or do physical entities produced by unintended human and nonhuman factors also display temporal endurance or alteration occurring over time and resonate with humans? Are “things of history” only entities endowed with shape, or do formless materials qualify too? In this article, I outline a theory of intentionality in relation to material items for two main reasons. First, it allows for a “critique of material evidence,” which is still missing in the historical discipline. Second, it enables us to address any remaining epistemological, ethical, or political issues, biases, or contradictions associated with the multifaceted research on material culture that affect the way we do history.

Expanding Perspectives in the Study of Chinese Social History

Over the past 20 years, the study of social history has become the most remarkable direction in the field of modern Chinese history. The research of modern Chinese social history has gone through three stages: disciplinary revival, system construction, and steady development. The era features of modern Chinese social history research mainly manifest in: prominent achievements in regional social history, with increasingly deepening theoretical research; the burgeoning research on modern rural history, moving towards in-depth exploration; and the attention-grabbing study of social gender history under new concepts. For traditional disciplines of modern Chinese history, the perspective of social history research has greatly expanded, mainly manifested in: breaking through traditional dogma, exploring new fields; shifting the perspective of observation, returning to the people themselves; and paying more attention to small events in the macro background, emphasizing a micro perspective.

Biography, History and Democracy: Contemporary Writing about Australian Lives

ABSTRACT Biography is one of the most potent arts of democracy because it links the individual to the body politic and to history. It stands in parallel with independent long-form journalism. Whereas independent journalism is under threat, biography is currently one of the most popular and productive genres of publishing, breaking down the stratification of readership associated with almost every other category of writing. In the academy, the status of biography has transformed over the last few decades, with historians embracing the genre, literary studies scholars experimenting with form, and a wealth of new infrastructure embedding biographical inquiry in Australia. The biographical turn in Australia has brought the two disciplines of history and literary studies closer together and enriched their scholarship. David Marr’s Patrick White, Fiona Capp’s My Blood’s Country, Mark McKenna’s Return to Uluru and Alexis Wright’s Tracker are just some examples of the field over the last 30 years. This article considers the principles underpinning contemporary biography and its practice. It reflects on the particular challenges of writing about living subjects, negotiating intimacy and privacy, and the uses of empathic listening in biographical interviews. It also explores the value of collective biography as a genre of current significance.

THE DISCIPLINE OF HISTORY OF MUSIC: POSTMODERN CONSEQUENCES AND DEFORMATIONS

Today, the discipline of music history does not seem to be, and indeed is no longer, what Guido Adler and Hugo Riemann formulated in their writings. The difference lies both in the structure and in the understanding of what is, in fact, and history, and music, then and now. If the intention of both inventors of modern musicology was a founding-recuperative one, then both the structure and the postmodern understanding rely exclusively on the recycling procedure with the meaning of rewriting. Hence the set of conflicts between, on the one hand, the new understandings and contents of more and more histories, and, on the other hand, the resistance to preserve the scholastic methodology, which generally refuses to evolve, forming new generations of students in terms of already anachronistic didactic contents.

The Recent Development On The Discipline Of Services Domestic Regulation And The Debate On The Necessity Test: From The Perspective Of The CPTPP, RCEP, And SDR Reference Paper

The discipline of services domestic regulation (“SDR discipline”), with a view to ensuring progressive liberalization of trade in services while also respecting the national regulatory prerogatives at the same time, addresses issues concerning the formulation, publication, and administration of SDR, and the authorization for the supply of a service. In addition to Article VI General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), an increasing number of international trade agreements has developed the SDR discipline with GATS-plus or GATS-extra characteristics, which helps enhance the transparency and regulatory quality of SDR, promote trade facilitation and increase the predictability and efficiency of authorization procedures for the services providers hoping to do business in foreign markets. This paper investigates the negotiating history of the SDR discipline at the multilateral, plurilateral, and regional levels, explores the evolving trends of the SDR discipline from the perspective of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and the Reference Paper on SDR, and addresses the debate on the necessity test surrounding the SDR discipline negotiation. services domestic regulation, necessity test, transparency, trade facilitation, predictability of authorization, gender equality

FROM THE HISTORY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DISCIPLINE «THE HISTORY OF UKRAINE» IN UNIVERSITIES OF THE USSR IN THE 1930S: METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT

The article examines the evolution of Soviet state policy in the field of higher historical education in the Ukrainian SSR in the 1930s on the basis of a previously unpublished archival document introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. On the basis of archival and published sources, the political, social and methodological conditions for the introduction of the discipline “History of Ukraine” are presented in the higher school of the Ukrainian SSR. The influence of the dynamics of the political development of the state on the theory and practice of studying the history of Ukraine is demonstrated. The ideological, political and methodological reasons that led to the introduction of the history of Ukraine as a special course are analyzed. The historical subjects of the discipline «The History of Ukraine” were primarily designed to illustrate the political, social and economic phenomena of the past for the benefit of the current modern events of the young socialist state. The main attention is paid to the consideration and analysis of the methodical aspect of the implemented discipline. The process of restoration of traditional forms and methods of teaching the historical discipline in universities was followed, which was accompanied by an increase in the role of the teacher in the educational process. The measures of the party-state leadership aimed at introducing the discipline «The History of Ukraine” in higher historical education are traced. It is noted that as a result of the long-term work of a large team of scientists, a curriculum was developed, which became a historical narrative in which the official position of the authorities on the main issues of national history was recorded, and at the same time an official reference point for scientists, teachers, educators, political workers, cultural figures. The documentary supplement contains the program on the history of Ukraine for the first year of teachers’ institutes for the summer session of 1938, the level of representativeness and archeographic elaboration of which is quite high, which in total significantly increases the scientific level of the factual basis of the conducted research.

Visual Knowledge Graph Construction of Self-directed Learning Ability Driven by Interdisciplinary Projects

INTRODUCTION: The application of interdisciplinary information technology is becoming more and more widespread, and the application of visual knowledge mapping in the process of students' independent learning is also becoming more and more important; therefore, in this context, takes the history discipline as a starting point to study the construction of visual knowledge mapping of students' independent learning ability under the drive of interdisciplinary projects.OBJECTIVES: To enrich the means of student independent learning aids in China's history discipline and enhance the modernization level of China's history discipline construction; to solve the problem that student independent learning ability under the drive of China's interdisciplinary projects can not be visualized and observed; to further improve China's distance education environment and to enhance the educational capacity of the history discipline.METHODS: Firstly, the relevant modeling uses a visual knowledge map. Secondly, the neural network model assesses students' independent learning ability in history learning. Finally, the convolutional neural network model is used to assess the efficiency of the knowledge map.RESULTS: The Sig and Tanh function models have better robustness, and the ReLU and PReLU functions have weaker interdisciplinary driving performance. However, the iterative Knownledge1 and Knownledge2 models have better robustness of the visualized knowledge graph.CONCLUSION: In studying history, the interdisciplinary, project-driven, and independent learning ability of students could be more vital, and our country should vigorously develop new information network technology to improve the status quo of history discipline education in China.
