Abstract

What kind of being did a sailor see, when he was confronted with a mermaid? A demon, a fairy, a monster, or only an extraordinary marine mammal? Transmitted by the tradition of ancient natural history the European universities faced many creatures belonging to natural science as well as to mythology, which still could be observed throughout the world. While medieval sholarship treated those beings as subjects for demonology, early modern scholars started to rationalize the sirens and satyrs and developed new models of explanation. Throughout hundreds of academical disputations the debate on hybrid creatures can be followed up to the time of Linne and Buffon and the zoological classifications of the 18th century. This study reconstructs the discussions of hybrid creatures as part of the Early Modern change of paradigms and the longue duree of ancient and medieval natural history with the help of five examples, sirens, satyrs, giants, pygmies, and dragons.

Abstract

Many think they know the legends behind tulipmania and the legacy of the Dutch East India Tea Company, but what basic knowledge of Dutch history and culture should be passed on to future generations? A Key to Dutch History and its resulting overview of historical highlights, assembled by a number of specialists in consultation with the Dutch general public, provides a thought-provoking and timely answer. The democratic process behind the volume is reminiscent of the way in which the Netherlands has succeeded for centuries at collective craftsmanship, and says as much about the Netherlands as does the outcome of the opinions voiced.

Abstract

Si l’on dispose de travaux d’historiographie et d’épistémologie, de réflexions sur les finalités de l’histoire enseignée — enjeux de connaissance et de mémoire, formation intellectuelle et identitaire, critique et civique —, rares sont les recherches qui s’attachent à confronter les effets de la rencontre entre l’approche théorique et la vérification empirique. A partir d’une double enquête auprès des professeurs et des élèves de l’enseignement secondaire, cette étude aborde à la fois les modalités d’apprentissage et les comportements d’enseignement. Les élèves s’approprient les connaissances historiques (événements, concepts, entités) selon des modalités propres à la pensée naturelle, imageante, analogique, métaphorique, ancrée dans une mémoire collective qui fonctionne aux valeurs. Autant dire que ces processus paraissent peu légitimes aux yeux de la rigueur historienne, et souvent aux yeux des professeurs attentifs à respecter scrupuleusement les critères de la discipline : contextualisation, complexité, chronologie. Ces contraintes pèsent lourdement lorsqu’il faut les concilier avec celles de la situation didactique : attachement au programme, lutte contre le temps. Entre ces coutumes d’enseignement en vigueur dans les classes d’histoire et les processus d’apprentissage mis en œuvre par les élèves, la rencontre se fait rarement de manière harmonieuse. C’est à ce point qu’il faut réfléchir si l’on veut dégager de nouvelles perspectives sur l’enseignement de la discipline.

Abstract

Without denying the importance of the postmodernist approach to the narrative form and rhetorical strategies of historiography, the author, one of Germany's most prominent cultural historians, argues here in favor of reason and methodical rationality in history. He presents a broad variety of aspects, factors and developments of historical thinking from the 18th century to the present, thus continuing, in exemplary fashion, the tradition of critical self-reflection in the humanities and looking at historical studies as an important factor of cultural orientation in practical life.

Abstract

The Invention of Science: Why History of Science Matters for the Classroom introduces readers to some of the developments that were key for the emergence of Eurocentric science, the discipline we call science. Using history this book explores how human groups and individuals were key to the invention of the discipline of we call science. All human groups have a need and desire to produce systematic knowledge that supports their ongoing survival as a community. This book examines how history can help us to understand emergence of Eurocentric science from local forms of systematic knowledge. Each chapter explores elements that were central to the invention of science including beliefs of what was real and true, forms of reasoning to be valued, and how the right knowledge should be constructed and the role of language. But most importantly this book presented these ideas in an accessible way with activities and questions to help readers grapple with the ideas being presented. Enjoy!

Abstract

This volume of essays is the result of the EU project "EHISTO", which dealt with the mediation of history in popular history magazines and explored how history in the commercialised mass media can be used in history teaching in order to develop the media literacy and the transcultural competences of young people. The volume offers articles which for the first time address the phenomenon of popular history magazines in Europe and their mediating strategies in a foundational way. The articles are intended as introductory material for teachers and student teachers. The topic also offers an innovative approach in terms of making possible a European cross-country comparison, in which results based on qualitative and quantitative methods are presented, related to the content focus areas profiled in the national magazines.

Abstract

The Japanese history textbook debate is one that keeps making the news, particularly with reference to claims that Japan has never 'apologised properly' for its actions between 1931 and 1945, and that it is one of the few liberal, democratic countries in which textbooks are controlled and authorised by the central government. There are frequent protests, both from within Japan and from overseas, that a biased, nationalistic history is taught in Japanese schools. This is the first time that all the authorised textbooks currently in use have been analysed using a critical discourse that is ancho
