ABSTRACT Rapid changes in the context and condition of historical practice (technological, institutional, theoretical) invite practicing historians to entertain experimental techniques for engaging the past: for teaching students; for investigating archives; and for presenting the results of historical inquiry. The authors introduce a form of historically oriented research and writing that shows promise as a way of encouraging genuine immersion in the specificity and alterity of the past. This ‘metahistorical’ mode, which engages with historical fiction, but also with traditions of rigorous scholarly research, offers a powerful means by which to cultivate historical consciousness, and to promote imaginative historical practices.

ABSTRACT This essay reflects upon the challenges and the achievements of an exploration of the marginalized experiences of the armed conflict in Colombia. Our methods – interdisciplinary, rooted in an ethos of co-production and openness to a great plurality of ways of storytelling – have created a fuller and richer representation of the horrors of war and their consequences. The lessons we have learned through making it happen will have major policy and administrative implications for the delivery of bilateral research collaborations funded by state resources.

ABSTRACT Questions of agency, narrative emplotment, and power are critical to the work of environmental historians. In an effort to expand the methodological toolbox available to those studying these interconnected problems, this paper develops an analytical distinction between agents and actors that attempts to steer us away from anthropocentric accounts of agency and in the direction of a clearer understanding of the structures and processes of power that are involved in the doing and writing of historical narratives beyond the human. It argues that expanding the scope of agency is pivotal for gaining a fuller understanding of how power moves through the environment and those it hosts and substantiates this claim through a critical reading of a broad range of recent works on environmental history concerning, either explicitly or implicitly, the role of nonhuman agency and power. In the process, this paper explores and questions the dynamics between state and environment, human and environment and ideology and environment.

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.

ABSTRACT This article reflects on the role of art in the memory activism surrounding deindustrialization in the Ruhr region of Germany by focusing on an institution promoting contemporary art: Urbane Künste Ruhr (UKR). It will ask how UKR is bringing together the past, present and future of the Ruhr region through its various activities. In particular, it will focus on UKR’s 2021 exhibition as an example of how the transformation of the Ruhr is imagined through artistic intervention. Art, in many of the activities of UKR, has made important interventions in debates about how to organize the future of the city in light of its past. UKR, the article argues, has been actively engaged in contributing to the democratization of public debates about how people in the region want to live their lives in light of a problematic industrial past and a more sustainable future.

ABSTRACT Sewerage town communities often experience discrimination because of their association with sewerage, and yet they flourish on their abject margins. A recent study of sewerage town communities in Australia and the UK and specifically, the community that grew on Melbourne’s Metropolitan Sewerage Farm, established on the Australian city’s outskirts, highlighted that sewerage town communities are inclusive and highly connected. A poetics of creative writing research methodology supported many elements to come together to explore the abject through these sewerage town communities. The study highlighted the strength of the power vacuum that forms within the community living in a state of abjection, for a belonging existence. These powerful attributes remain once the community abandons the town, as a spirit or essence that continues to emanate as a haunting in the sewerage ghost town. The poetics methodology granted a rethinking of how sewerage towns survive and thrive in their abject margins and what happens once the community abandons the sewerage town, for a paradoxical aesthetic and haunting truth of the sewerage ghost town. Even the murk of mustarding waters, devoid of air but teeming in critters that thrive in the souring stench, and the poor blighter disappearing within those waters of olive and brown, can be beautiful. Insights can be applied to any marginalised or abject community and company town.
