NUOVA STORIA CULTURALE

Cultural studies is an academic discipline popular among a diverse group of scholars. It combines political economy, geography, sociology, social theory, literary theory, film/video studies, cultural anthropology, philosophy, and art history/criticism to study cultural phenomena in various societies. Cultural studies researchers often concentrate on how a particular phenomenon relates to matters of ideology, nationality, ethnicity, social class, and/or gender.

Nel decennio 1990-2000 la storia culturale è divenuta uno dei paradigmi di riferimento della storiografia occidentale. La storia culturale non è una teoria unitaria che prescrive come organizzare la conoscenza storica né definisce norme per la selezione dei temi degni di studio.

Essa si caratterizza invece per una pluralità di approcci che hanno origine da discipline e tradizioni diverse, con cui condivide l’idea che ogni conoscenza sia legata alla lingua, alla comunicazione e quindi alla cultura, ovvero che il pensare, il sentire e l’agire nella storia siano mediati dalla cultura.

During 1990-2000 the cultural history has become one of the paradigms of reference of Western historiography. The cultural history is not a unified theory that prescribes how to organize historical knowledge nor lays down rules for the selection of subjects worthy of study.

It is characterized for a plurality of approaches that originate from different disciplines and traditions, with which it shares the idea that all knowledge is tied to language, communication and culture, that think, feel and act in history are mediated by culture.

تاريخ ثقافي جديد

التاريخ الثقافي ليست نظرية وحدوي الذي ينص على كيفية تنظيم المعارف التاريخية ولا يدعون إلى تحديد قواعد لاختيار مواضيع جديرة بالدراسة.تعدد النهج يأتي من مختلف التخصصات، والتقاليد. في القاعدة هناك فكرة أن كل المعرفة مرتبط باللغة والاتصال والثقافة. التفكير والشعور والنيابة في التاريخ هي توسط في الثقافة.

The new cultural history does not have a neat and tidy approach, of course, but appears to have emerged out of the myriad of theories which include the insights of anthropologists such as Clifford Geertz and Victor Turner and the linguistic theories of Jacques Derrida and the Deconstructionists. But this new phase seems to have gone considerably beyond some of the excesses of postmodernist theories in which culture often seemed to be little more than a set of words.
