The Historian in Society. Seminar on the new book by Jorma Kalela,
Making History: The Historian and Uses of the Past (Palgrave
Macmillan 2012).
Helsinki 06.02.2012 klo 10:00

The Historian in Society
Seminar on the new book by Jorma Kalela, Making History: The
Historian and Uses of the Past (Palgrave Macmillan 2012).

Time:  6.2.2012, 10-12
Place: House of Sciences and Letters (‘Tieteiden talo’), Kirkkokatu
6, Seminar room 312

Everyone has a personal connection to the past, independent of
historical inquiry. So, 
what is the role of the historian? Making History argues that
historians have damagingly 
dissociated the discipline of history from the everyday nature of
history, defining their 
work only in scholarly terms. Exploring the relationship between
history and society, 
Kalela makes the case for a more participatory historical research
culture, in which 
historians take account of their role in society and the ways in
which history-making as 
a basic social practice is present in their work.
