В статье рассматривается место анахронизмов в переосмыслении подходов к изучению средневековой истории на рубеже XX-XXI вв. В качестве примера рассматриваются американские исследования, определяемые как «новый медиевализм», и в особенности один аспект: размышления над понятием инаковости, которое можно понимать не только как alterity, но и как нечто, что определяется как queer и особенно как preposterous. В этом последнем понятии соединяются значения временного (отсутствия) порядка и противоестественности, нарушения иерархий, абсурдности, монструозности, глупости, безумия. Таким образом, вопрос об анахронизме оказывается связан с целым рядом иных тем, важных для исторических и теоретических исследований рубежа XX-XXI вв. В статье новомедиевалистское понимание инаковости помещается в контекст более ранних дискуссий о своеобразии средневековья и о допустимости анахронизмов в историописании от стремления к полному искоренению анахронизмов в профессиональной историографии XIX-начала XX вв. до их частичной реабилитации в новой культурной истории начиная с 1970-х годов, особенно под влиянием работ Ж. Ле Гоффа. На взгляд автора, при всей важности влияния третьего поколения школы «Анналов», она остается в рамках старых различий между реальностью и репрезентацией, в то время как новые ме-диевалисты переносят внимание на само различие, которое организует это противопоставление и пытаются его историзировать как применительно к средневековью, так и в связи с этим применительно к современной культуре. Особое внимание уделяется политическим коннотациям историзма и анахронизма, различных режимов историчности. В заключение снова говорится о важности понятия preposterous и его риторической предыстории. ; The article deals with the place of anachronisms in the debates about how medieval history should be studied in the late XX and early XXI cent. As an example were taken works of American historians known as new medievalists, and in particular two aspects discussed there: rethinking the notion of alterity, which is related to the definition of something as queer and especially as preposterous. In this last notion are related in a very particular way the meanings of a temporal (absence of) order, of unnaturalness, of disturbing hierarchies, absurdity, monstruosity, folly, madness. So the question of a wrong temporal order, of anachronism, through this notion is related to a range of other issues, which are of importance for historical and theoretical research at the turn of the XX-XXI cent. In the article the understanding of alterity by the new medievalists is related to a broader context of the earlier discussions about the specific character of the Middle Ages as an epoch and about the possibility of anachronisms in historical writing -from a desire no annihilate the anachronisms completely in the professional historiography of the XIX and early XX century up to their partial legitimation in the new cultural history of the 1970s, especially under the influence of works by J. Le Goff. But, as is here argued, despite all the importance of the influences from the third generation of the «Annales» school, which reproduces the old opposition between reality and representations, new medievalists are doing something different, questioning and historicizing the opposition itself, and doing it not only with the Middle Ages, but also our contemporary historical culture in view. A special attention is given in these researches to the political connotations of historicism and anachronism, to the different regimes of historicity. As a conclusion will be discussed again the notion «preposterous» and the relevance of its rhetorical connotations.

This book analyses the role of history education in conflict and post-conflict societies, describing common history textbook projects in Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Far East and the Middle East. Ever since the emergence of the modern school system and the implementation of compulsory education, textbooks have been seen as privileged media. The knowledge they convey is relatively persistent and moreover highly selective: every textbook author must choose and omit, condense, structure, reduce, and generalize information. Within this context, history textbooks are ofte.

A riveting, comprehensive history of the Arab peoples and tribes that explores the role of language as a cultural touchstone This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab peoples and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source of shared cultural identity over the millennia. Mackintosh-Smith reveals how linguistic developments-from pre-Islamic poetry to the growth of script, Muhammad's use of writing, and the later problems of printing Arabic-have helped and hindered the progress of Arab history, and investigates how, even in today's politically fractured post-Arab Spring environment, Arabic itself is still a source of unity and disunity

"This book provides students, scholars, and criminologists with a truly a global perspective on the theory and practice of criminology throughout the centuries and around the world. In addition to chapters devoted to the key ideas, thinkers, and moments in the intellectual and philosophical history of criminology, it features in-depth coverage of the organizational structure of criminology as an academic discipline world-wide"--

This article is a history of postwar discourse on an unequal world. This discourse was profoundly shaped by new influences: quantitative data and an expanding inequality research infrastructure, the "birth of development," decolonization, human rights, the global Cold War, and theories of the world as one integrated global system. Examining academic journal articles written in English, this article traces the emergence of global inequality in the aftermath of the World Food Crisis of 1972–1975. Originally, global inequality was as much about power as about income differentials, mainly referring to multiple inequalities between the so-called Third World and the First. However, even as the late 1960s and the 1970s saw an increased politicization of the discourse on an unequal world, global inequality did not become a key concept in the 1970s.

This book provides an analysis of Singapore's development and success as an international financial centre (IFC). Chapters demonstrate how Singapore plays a critical role in both Asian and global financial markets, despite its relatively small geographic size. The author focuses specifically on the factors that have contributed to the city-state's success and discusses the policy lessons that can be derived from it. The book describes the historical, spatial, political and policy factors that contributed to Singapore's development as a leading Asian financial centre and global city, and will be of interest to both policy scholars and practitioners.
