Abstract

ABSTRACT In its concern with orienting students in relation to past, present and future, history education is crucially placed to pioneer generative approaches for making sense of change over time and to equip students to critically scrutinise meanings of history. Impending climate catastrophe, the still unfolding global pandemic and rising xenophobic populism are interconnected crises that demand an expansive view of historical understanding that might equip students to recognise the myriad, powerful ways that meanings of history are imagined and mobilised in human societies. Yet, in the history curricula of Western nation-states, that task remains remarkably narrow, focused on the kinds of knowledge and understanding that modern historical thinking can produce. Our focus in this article is two-fold. First, we show how history curriculum in Australia, Canada, and the United States already implicitly conveys meanings of history – which we label ‘teleological’—and provides only limited opportunities to engage critically with alternate meanings of historical change. Second, we canvass some expanded and enlarged forms of historical thinking that embrace discontinuity, rupture and more-than-humanness that might help students and teachers imagine radically different futures.

目的论历史教育问题与多学科、多学科、非连续历史的可能性
摘要:历史教育关注的是引导学生了解过去、现在和未来,它的关键地位是率先采用生成方法来理解随着时间的推移而发生的变化,并使学生能够批判性地审视历史的意义。即将到来的气候灾难、仍在蔓延的全球疫情和日益高涨的仇外民粹主义是相互关联的危机,需要对历史的理解有一个广阔的视野,这可能会让学生认识到历史的意义在人类社会中被想象和调动的无数强大方式。然而,在西方民族国家的历史课程中,这项任务仍然非常狭隘,专注于现代历史思维所能产生的知识和理解。本文的重点有两个方面。首先,我们展示了澳大利亚、加拿大和美国的历史课程已经隐含地传达了历史的意义——我们称之为“目的论”——并且只提供了有限的机会来批判性地参与历史变化的替代意义。其次,我们研究了一些扩展和扩大的历史思维形式,这些形式包含了不连续性、断裂性和超越人性的东西,可能会帮助学生和老师想象截然不同的未来。

期刊介绍: This acclaimed journal allows historians in a broad range of specialities to experiment with new ways of presenting and interpreting history. Rethinking History challenges the accepted ways of doing history and rethinks the traditional paradigms, providing a unique forum in which practitioners and theorists can debate and expand the boundaries of the discipline.
