Conceptualizing the History of the Present Time - Elements in Historical Theory and Practice
Mudrovcic, Maria Ines (Universidad Nacional del Comahue-CONICET-IPEHCS)
This Element explores four meanings of 'contemporary,' emphasizing its designation as a historical field. It argues that disagreements about when the contemporary era begins stem from historians assuming a linear, chronological, and absolute conception of time. It enriches our understanding of the concept of the 'present' in the context of history.
