In this book, Zoltán Simon argues that instead of seeing the past, the present and the future together on a temporal continuum as history, we now expect unprecedented change to happen in the future (in visions of the future of technology, ecology and nuclear warfare) and we look at the past by assuming that such changes have already happened. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This radical theory of history challenges narrative conceptualizations of history which assume a past potential of humanity unfolding over time to reach future fulfillment and seeks new ways of conceptualizing the altered socio-cultural concerns Western societies are currently facing. By creating a novel set of concepts to make sense of our altered historical condition regarding both history understood as the course of human affairs and historical writing, \u003ci\u003eHistory in Times of Unprecedented Change \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a highly original and engaging take on the state of history and historical theory in the present and beyond.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZoltán Boldizsár Simon \u003c\/b\u003eis Research Fellow and Board Member of the Centre for Theories in Historical Research at Bielefeld University, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 24, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665966620774,"sku":"9781350192720","price":91.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/OHB1bUhLTnFhdXl0UDRpcDBvZ1RDdz09.webp?v=1779965422","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/history-in-times-of-unprecedented-change-a-theory-for-the-21st-century-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
