Hayden White - Herman Paul

Эта новая книга предлагает четкое и доступное изложение идей Хэйдена Уайта. В увлекательном и всестороннем анализе Герман Пол обсуждает основные идеи Уайта и прослеживает развитие этих идей с середины 1950-х годов до настоящего времени. Начиная с исследований Уайта в области медиевистики и его юношеского увлечения французским экзистенциализмом, Пол показывает, как Уайт становился все более убежденным в том, что историческое письмо - это моральная деятельность. Далее он утверждает, что критические концепции, которые обеспечили Уайту известность, - троп, сюжет, дискурс, фигуральный реализм, - все проистекают из его стремления разъяснить моральные претензии и восприятия, лежащие в основе исторического письма. Уайт предстает страстным мыслителем, неугомонным бунтарем против сциентизма и защитником гуманистических ценностей экзистенциализма. Это новаторское введение заинтересует студентов и ученых в области гуманитарных наук и поможет сформировать критическое понимание все более важного мыслителя.

Paul engages from White's research on the Middle Ages and his initial youthful desperation about the French existentialists. Paul reveals why White became so convinced that history writing is in fact equivalent to morality. Paul then continues to discuss the crucial concepts which have now awed the Literary establishment world-wide; these concepts include tropes, narratives and discourses which easily stem from White's enduring wish to tackle the narrative and illusionary sides of historical writings.

This new book offers a clear and accessible exposition of Hayden White's thought. In an engaging and wide-ranging analysis, Herman Paul discusses White's core ideas and traces the development of these ideas from the mid-1950s to the present. Starting with White's medievalist research and youthful fascination for French existentialism, Paul shows how White became increasingly convinced that historical writing is a moral activity. He goes on to argue that the critical concepts that have secured White's fame – trope, plot, discourse, figural realism – all stem from his desire to explicate the moral claims and perceptions underlying historical writing. White emerges as a passionate thinker, a restless rebel against scientism, and a defender of existentialist humanist values. This innovative introduction will appeal to students and scholars across the humanities, and help develop a critical understanding of an increasingly important thinker.
