Kula
Considering the reconstruction of ‘the vision of the world and
the man’ of a particular historian (individual case) as a crucial part of studies on the
history of historiography, the author analyses the connections between the concept of
history by Witold Kula and his research on the past with anthropology. […] Regardless of
the fact that the author aims at presenting the role of Kula in the process of
anthropologising history and the transitions that have taken place in historiography (not
only our, local, but also global), it is undeniable that the monograph goes beyond these
goals. […] The monograph is also an answer to the ongoing debates concerning the future
of historical research, including theoretical and methodological approaches. Introducing
the new aspect of studies on historians’ works, the book […] becomes the illustration
of the current trends in the studies on history, characterised mainly by their
interdisciplinarity.
