Key research themes

1. How can the practice of historiography reconcile subjective interpretation with rational assessment in the construction of historical narratives?

This theme investigates the epistemological and methodological challenge of historiography as a rational yet interpretive practice. It explores how historians build narratives that synthesize facts and interpretations without relying on absolute truth claims, balancing subjectivity and objectivity. Understanding this balance matters because it shapes the credibility of historical knowledge and the standards for evaluating competing historical interpretations.

Key finding: Kuukkanen develops a postnarrativist philosophy arguing that historiographical works function as informal rational arguments rather than strictly truth-functional narratives. The book rejects both absolute historical realism... Read more
Key finding: Tinam challenges traditional epistemological responses by identifying a deeper metaphysical problem: historiographical claims lack obvious truth-makers in reality because historical events as discrete entities do not exist... Read more
Key finding: Bermejo Barrera delineates a typology of forms of 'talking about history' to demonstrate that historians engage in various discourses beyond writing history, emphasizing that historiographical texts are inherently dialogic... Read more

2. What role do narrative structures and temporal scales play in shaping historiographical methodology and the understanding of historical processes?

This theme focuses on the methodological significance of narrative form and time horizon in history. It assesses the impact of long-term perspectives versus short-termism, the role of narrative as a synthesis device, and the plurality of pasts—including events, structures, and cultural patterns—on the practice and theory of historiography. Addressing these issues is crucial for enhancing historians' ability to represent complex historical realities and for developing more nuanced temporal frameworks in historical research.

Key finding: The History Manifesto identifies the critical methodological issue of short-termism in historiography and public discourse, advocating for long-term historical perspectives that can address epochal changes and counteract... Read more
Key finding: This work advances the methodological insight that history must be understood as 'histories' plural, incorporating both event-centered and non-event-centered phenomena like social structures, institutions, and cultural... Read more

3. How can interdisciplinary approaches and emerging technologies enhance historical methodology and the critical analysis of historiographical practice?

This theme explores the incorporation of interdisciplinary methods from social sciences, natural sciences, and digital technologies into historiography. It addresses how these approaches provide novel analytical tools, source materials, and theoretical perspectives, deepening historical inquiry and enabling better handling of complex data. Such integration is essential for the methodological advancement of history, expanding its empirical reach and critical reflexivity.

Key finding: This paper demonstrates how social history methodology—rooted in archival research, demographic study, and analysis of everyday life—offers valuable frameworks for political science by illuminating social-political dynamics... Read more
Key finding: This research traces the evolution of historians' engagement with digital databases over five decades, critically assessing how computer technologies have been integrated into historical research. It highlights the gradual,... Read more
Key finding: This study systematically justifies the integration of methodologies and conceptual frameworks from related disciplines—including archaeology, linguistics, economics, sociology, and paleontology—into historical research. It... Read more
