>>24746063Good god, finally. I was getting worried.What are some recent cultural historians who are direct continuations of The Annales School?
>>24746261You can't be a "direct continuation," while remaining contemporary, as you'd know. I guess you're asking for either genetic or thematic evolution. Fuck genetic. Thematically there's been an attempt by the right to produce Long Duration Lies, which lack any attempt to grapple with sources and functional relations over time.To be honest if you want the inheritors of Annales School in popular reception: CK#, EU#, Vicky#.HOI is a fucking waste of time full of pure fantasy rather than a systematic analysis of fascism, liberalism and bolshevism as comparative varieties of capitalism. For that matter "Varieties of capitalism" analyses might help you as an inheritor of the Annales concerns about analysing the constitution of the configuration of relations producing modernity? Personally I prefer autonomism (obviously given what I've said here). But I fucken prefer CPGB(h) to that Annales Shite. FUCKEN FIGHT ME CUNT, BROKEN LONG NECKS OUT THE BACK OF THE AHA CONFERENCE. CONNEL AND IRVING HAVE MY FUCKEN BACK CUNT. TIME TO READ CLASS STRUCTURE IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY AND PRACTICING SHOOTING PRIME MINISTERS ("IRONICALLY AND PRETEND") AS PART OF AUTONOMIST THEORY.
>>24746373What a weird answer. Okay.
>>24746373Not an argument.
>>24746373these days even the schizoposters are pseuds trying to show off
I'm looking to read Estoria de España and Grande e general estoria, both by Alfonso X el Sabio. I can read most of medieval spanish, although it would make the process slower than reading a contemporary spanish adaptation.
>>24746063>author of "Ike and dick"
/lit/ does not read /history/ or anything else for that matter.
>>24746063One of the worst presidents in US history.
>>24749709Arshinov, every libcoms start of a fantasy world more self destructive than Leninists being in love with 1921.
>>24746063Obligatory
Wtf Ameribros
>>24746063Comfy history of Medieval English piety and the bastards that subverted and ruined it. Curl up with some Gregorian chants for the first 2/3. Cry and pray the last 1/3
The Oregon Trail by Francis Parkman>Account of Parkman's observations and adventures during a journey to the Rocky Mountains in 1846 with his friend Quincy Adams Shawhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1015
>>24750894Been reading Prescott thinking seriously of hitting Parkman next. Any thoughts on The Conspiracy of Pontiac?
>>24747494Explains the background of the Russia/Ukraine/NATO/US conflict in meticulous detail, starting from the fall of the Berlin wall and the fall of the Soviet Union.
>>24747919>Hairy Ass Truman
>>24750653>Wtf AmeribrosTime to read about when the punishment rapes ended in Japan.
>>24750677I need to get to that book. I have a copy on my e-reader
Thinking of tackling Hobsbawm’s “Age of…” series soon. Last read: When Montezuma Met Cortes by Matthew Restall. 10/10.
Anything on Japan that goes slightly deeper than surface level history?
>>24752182Depends on what you consider surface level. What have you read and what's on your TBR?
>>24752186I just finished this. A badly written, mind-numbingly boring Wikipedia article with a journalistic bent. In any case, the basic historical overview did provide me with a foundation from which to delve deeper. Anything pertaining to history, religion and philosophy would be interesting.
>>24752206I know that you shouldn't be judging books by their cover, but yeah, I can tell it's ass>Anything pertaining to history, religion and philosophy would be interesting.The classic work on understanding Japanese culture (mostly anthropology with some history mixed in) would be>The Chrysanthemum and the Sword - Ruth BenedictOld but still pretty good, though best supplemented by secondary literature to see critiques + extra content.Another recommendation>The Making of Modern Japan - Marius JanssenThe still definitive history of Japan in the modern era from the end of the Sengoku period to the present. Of interest if you're more into the Meiji period and Japan's process of industrialization like I am.Can't give any recs on religion and philosophy in good faith since I haven't really explored the topic myself.
>>24751792>Thinking of tackling Hobsbawm’s “Age of…” series soon.I'd suggest Chris Hill who actually focuses on a topic where archival work will have an impact, instead of producing grand narratives entirely constitutive of Hobsbawms analysis of the world rather than of the texts?But that's just me. If you need grand sweep but want archival there's annales…
Just very strange to me how much of the world today is based on Woodrow Wilson’s vision and he doesn’t get the credit for it as much as you’d think.
>>24752664>Woodrow Wilson's vision>Not Rockefeller>Not RothschildSir, you need to breed.
>>24752206
>>24746063btw, nice thread
>>24752220I thought Ruth Benedict was an anthropologist not a historian?
>>24750918Parkman is excellent, Oregon Trail and Conspiracy of Pontiac both hold up quite well.
>>24752917She is, but there is some historical element to The Chrysanthemum and the Sword, like the impact of the Meiji Restoration and the war on Japanese culture
>>24753120Yes and a Dentist should do open heart surgery. On you mate, on you. There's nothing wrong with anthros for being anthros (there's something *very fucking wrong* with anthro as a discipline). But Anthro ain't historiography.
>>24753141It's not a serious work of history in the way other books posted in this thread are. It's primarily a work of anthropology with some history to contextualize things. It's perfectly serviceable, and in fact pretty well-written for what it is, don't rag it until you've actually read it.
>>24753150"This anthropology might be useful to explain Japanese mentalities" would be a responsible way to introduce it to fellow historians, yeah? History threads tend to attract a more self responsible type of poster than other threads for a reason. We are the least damaged of the humanities and it is easy to filter the fucktarded larpers off to >>>/pol4/ sorry >>>/his/. Maybe I am just having a really fucking bad day to the point at which I'm touchy over "Sure, let's let the *journalists* in to play, I've read about the Soviet Union's history, I've read Applebaum!!!onebang"
The Falls of Rome by Michele Renee Salzman>Over the course of the fourth through seventh centuries, Rome witnessed a succession of five significant political and military crises, including the Sack of Rome, the Vandal occupation, and the demise of the Senate. Historians have traditionally considered these crises as defining events, and thus critical to our understanding of the 'decline and fall of Rome.' In this volume, Michele Renee Salzman offers a fresh interpretation of the tumultuous events that occurred in Rome during Late Antiquity. Focusing on the resilience of successive generations of Roman men and women and their ability to reconstitute their city and society, Salzman demonstrates the central role that senatorial aristocracy played, and the limited influence of the papacy during this period. Her provocative study provides a new explanation for the longevity of Rome and its ability, not merely to survive, but even to thrive over the last three centuries of the Western Roman Empire.It's basically a history of the Roman Senate from Late Antiquity until it dissolved somewhere in the 7th century. The central thesis is how they dealt with threats and impacts to Rome and themselves.
>>24753059Have that volume. Will start one or the other before September ends. Thanks.Also, Prescott on Spain and the New World (The Conquest of Mexico in particular) is worth checking out
