Abstract In this article, we highlight the exciting and growing historical podcast scene in Canada. We chose a variety of podcasts to represent the diverse institutions, communities and individuals who are telling histories through this medium. To represent popular history, we looked at Our Fake History a project that delves into historic mythologies and conspiracies. For the academic perspective, we looked at Active History, produced by Sean Graham of Carleton University, and at the museum-based podcast, Kitchen Stories, from the Jewish Archives of British Columbia, as an example of institutionally produced media. Community podcast The Nameless Collective and student-run podcast 3600 secondes d'histoire round out our survey. Each podcast shows a different approach to telling history, and allowed us to explore the issue of authority. Asking the question, “Can we trust historical podcasts?”, we examine how each podcasters establish their relationship to their audience, and conveys their expertise on the topics they discuss. Regardless of the perceived level of formal authority, from individual to institution supported podcaster, we found that trust was formed primarily through the intimate listening experience. Listeners are invested in keeping the podcasters accountable and therefore help produce trustworthy historical podcasts.
摘要在这篇文章中,我们强调了加拿大令人兴奋和不断发展的历史播客场景。我们选择了各种播客来代表通过这种媒介讲述历史的不同机构、社区和个人。为了代表大众历史,我们看了《我们的虚假历史》 一个深入研究历史神话和阴谋的项目。从学术角度来看,我们将卡尔顿大学的肖恩·格雷厄姆制作的《活跃历史》和不列颠哥伦比亚省犹太档案馆的博物馆播客《厨房故事》作为制度制作媒体的一个例子。社区播客The Nameless Collective和学生运营的播客3600 seconds d'historire完善了我们的调查。每一个播客都展示了讲述历史的不同方法,让我们能够探索权威问题。在提出“我们能信任历史播客吗?”这个问题时,我们考察了每个播客是如何建立与 他们的听众,并传达他们对所讨论主题的专业知识。无论正式权威的感知水平如何,从个人到机构支持的播客,我们发现信任主要是通过亲密的倾听体验形成的。听众致力于让播客负责,从而帮助制作值得信赖的历史播客。

Abstract The Russian Revolution of 1917 altered the fate and political landscape not only of Europe, but of the world. The article discusses the many exhibitions in Russia on the centenary of the Russian Revolution in major museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in other parts of the country. In most exhibitions, poignant questions and conflicting memories put forth by different groups about the same events were strictly avoided, and many curators shied away from offering interpretations or making assessments as much as possible. What the jubilee year has shown is that the causes and consequences of the Revolution will continue to be studied and discussed.
摘要1917年的俄罗斯革命不仅改变了欧洲的命运和政治格局,也改变了世界的命运。这篇文章讨论了俄罗斯在莫斯科和圣彼得堡以及该国其他地区的主要博物馆举办的许多关于俄罗斯革命一百周年的展览。在大多数展览中,不同团体对同一事件提出的尖锐问题和相互矛盾的记忆都被严格避免,许多策展人也尽量回避解释或评估。周年纪念表明,革命的原因和后果将继续被研究和讨论。

Abstract This article examines the recent disputed, intertwined re-sitings of Arnaldo Zocchi’s Monument to Christopher Columbus (1910) and Andrés Zerneri’s Monument to Juana Azurduy (2015) in Buenos Aires. It analyzes issues of commissioning and political motivation in President Kristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s call to remove the Columbus monument and the resulting backlash by civil society groups. The intervention by a head of state to uproot a monument dedicated to the Genovese navigator is just one of many ways in which distinct approaches to the legacy of Columbus is addressed in the transnational public sphere. This study will also consider the lack of memorials dedicated to women and First Nations in public space.
摘要本文探讨了最近在布宜诺斯艾利斯对阿纳尔多·佐奇(Arnaldo Zocchi)的克里斯托弗·哥伦布纪念碑(1910年)和安德烈斯·泽内里(Andrés Zerneri)的胡安娜·阿祖杜伊纪念碑(2015年)的有争议、交织的重新定位。它分析了克里斯蒂娜·费尔南德斯·德基什内尔总统呼吁拆除哥伦布纪念碑的委托和政治动机问题,以及由此引起的民间社会团体的强烈反对。一位国家元首的干预行动铲除了一座热那亚航海家纪念碑,这只是在跨国公共领域处理哥伦布遗产的众多方式之一。这项研究还将考虑公共场所缺乏专门纪念妇女和第一民族的纪念碑的问题。

Abstract Controversy around the celebration of Captain Cook as a founding father of the Australian nation is not new, but dates back to the nineteenth century when his first statues were raised. The latest plans made by Australia’s government to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his so-called discovery of the continent has sparked renewed controversy which is linked to global debates about the contemporary value and meaning of civic statues to heroes associated with Indigenous dispossession, colonialism and slavery.
围绕库克船长作为澳大利亚国父的庆祝活动的争议并不新鲜,但可以追溯到19世纪,当时他的第一批雕像被竖立起来。澳大利亚政府为庆祝他所谓的“发现新大陆”250周年而制定的最新计划引发了新一轮的争议,这与全球关于与土著被剥夺、殖民主义和奴隶制有关的英雄公民雕像的当代价值和意义的辩论有关。

Organizing Public History 组织公共历史
IF 0.4 Q2 HISTORY Pub Date : 2018-06-01 DOI: 10.1515/IPH-2018-0005
Arnita A. Jones
With apologies to Charles Dickens, “It was the worst of times, it was the best of times.”1 It was the mid-1970s, a time of misery and disappointment for hundreds of new PhDs in history in the United States, virtually all of them groomed for college and university teaching, and competing for far too few jobs. But it was also the beginning of public history as a field of graduate history education, a development that would revitalize both the teaching and the practice of the discipline and which continues to expand its horizons to the present day. Public history came into my life in the spring of 1977 when I saw an advertisement in the AHA Newsletter announcing a search for a project coordinator who would staff a new initiative sponsored by the American Historical Association (AHA), the Organization of American Historians (OAH), and several regional and specialized history groups.2 The aim of this new effort was to address what had come to be considered a crisis in the employment market for new PhDs in history – a crisis fueled by unprecedented growth in the number and size of history doctoral education programs created as a part of the expansion of American higher education after World War II. By the mid 1970s, however, that growth in higher education had run its course, ending with a sharp drop in the need for new faculty in history and many other fields. The National Coordinating Committee for the Promotion of History (NCC), as the new effort was inelegantly named, was meant not only to identify and publicize existing employment opportunities for newly minted PhD historians in and around the academy, but also to explore what were called “non-traditional” positions or “alternative” careers as well. Curious, and in need of employment myself, I sent a letter of application to AHA’s executive director Mack Thompson, landed an interview, and ultimately a job–the best job I ever had because, as it turned out, I had to invent it. Other than the initial job advertisement for a Project Director of the NCC, there was little structure and budget for this position. I was provided decent but modest salary, a desk in a renovated bathroom on the top floor of the American Historical Association headquarters at 400 A Street on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and telephone numbers of several historians in the Washington area who had agreed to chair resource groups in possible employment areas like federal government, state and local government, business, and historic preservation. But what exactly was the problem? Too few jobs? Too many historians? Or historians insufficiently prepared for positions that might actually exist? A book on the shelves of the AHA library yielded a partial answer to the first two questions, and the contacts I had been given for the resource groups shed welcome light on the third. The Education of Historians in the United States, published in 1962, was the work of an AHA Commission on Graduate Education in History, established in 1958 w
我要向查尔斯·狄更斯道歉,“这是最坏的时代,也是最好的时代。”那是20世纪70年代中期,对美国数百名新历史学博士来说,这是一个痛苦和失望的时期,他们几乎都是为学院和大学教学而培养的,他们竞争的工作太少了。但这也是公共历史作为研究生历史教育领域的开始,这一发展将使该学科的教学和实践都焕发活力,并继续扩大其视野,直到今天。1977年春天,我在《美国历史协会通讯》上看到一则广告,宣布要招聘一名项目协调员,为一个由美国历史协会(AHA)、美国历史学家组织(OAH)以及几个地区性和专门的历史团体赞助的新项目工作这项新努力的目的是为了解决被认为是新的历史博士就业市场的危机——二战后作为美国高等教育扩张的一部分而创建的历史博士教育项目的数量和规模的空前增长加剧了这场危机。然而,到20世纪70年代中期,高等教育的增长已经结束,历史和许多其他领域对新教师的需求急剧下降。国家历史促进协调委员会(National Coordinating Committee for Promotion of History,简称NCC),这个新成立的机构的名字很不雅观,它的目的不仅是为学院内外的新晋博士历史学家确定和宣传现有的就业机会,而且还旨在探索所谓的“非传统”职位或“另类”职业。出于好奇,我自己也需要一份工作,于是我给AHA的执行董事麦克·汤普森(Mack Thompson)发了一封求职信,得到了一次面试机会,并最终得到了一份工作——这是我拥有过的最好的工作,因为事实证明,我必须创造它。除了最初招聘NCC项目总监的广告外,这个职位几乎没有结构和预算。在华盛顿特区国会山a街400号的美国历史协会总部顶层,我得到了一份体面但不高的薪水,在一间翻修过的浴室里有一张桌子,还有华盛顿地区几位历史学家的电话号码,他们同意在联邦政府、州和地方政府、商业和历史保护等可能就业的领域担任资源小组的主席。但问题到底是什么呢?工作岗位太少?历史学家太多了?还是历史学家对可能存在的立场准备不足?美国心脏协会图书馆书架上的一本书给出了前两个问题的部分答案,我为资源团体提供的联系方式对第三个问题提供了可喜的启示。《美国历史学家的教育》出版于1962年,是美国历史学会研究生教育委员会的工作成果。该委员会于1958年在纽约卡内基委员会的支持下成立,旨在调查近期历史学家博士的供求问题。在杜兰大学历史学家约翰·斯内尔的领导下,研究生教育委员会对过去培养历史博士的情况进行了详细的调查,并根据人口趋势预测了不久的将来可能的需求。最终的报告相对保守。例如,它没有提倡为历史研究生学习提供新的外部支持来源,而是建议一些目前不提供研究生教育的历史系考虑这样做,并呼吁现有的研究生项目适度增加入学人数然而,在整个报告中,重点是博士学位是为学院和大学教学做准备,而不是在博物馆、公司、档案馆、政府机构和其他地方的职业生涯。例如,从1930年代大萧条期间年轻历史学家失业的早期时期得出的教训很简单:“在1939年,1931年至1935年的历史博士中,可能不超过三分之二的人在大学、学院和大专院校从事教学工作,但如果其他人能找到工作,他们就会教书。”很明显,研究历史的专业人士不会为20世纪70年代发生的事情做好准备,当时只有不到一半的新博士有学术职位空缺。

Public history came into my life in the spring of 1977 when I saw an advertisement in the AHA Newsletter announcing a search for a project coordinator who would staff a new initiative sponsored by the American Historical Association (AHA), the Organization of American Historians (OAH), and several regional and specialized history groups.2 The aim of this new effort was to address what had come to be considered a crisis in the employment market for new PhDs in history – a crisis fueled by unprecedented growth in the number and size of history doctoral education programs created as a part of the expansion of American higher education after World War II. By the mid 1970s, however, that growth in higher education had run its course, ending with a sharp drop in the need for new faculty in history and many other fields. The National Coordinating Committee for the Promotion of History (NCC), as the new effort was inelegantly named, was meant not only to identify and publicize existing employment opportunities for newly minted PhD historians in and around the academy, but also to explore what were called “non-traditional” positions or “alternative” careers as well. Curious, and in need of employment myself, I sent a letter of application to AHA’s executive director Mack Thompson, landed an interview, and ultimately a job–the best job I ever had because, as it turned out, I had to invent it. Other than the initial job advertisement for a Project Director of the NCC, there was little structure and budget for this position. I was provided decent but modest salary, a desk in a renovated bathroom on the top floor of the American Historical Association headquarters at 400 A Street on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and telephone numbers of several historians in the Washington area who had agreed to chair resource groups in possible employment areas like federal government, state and local government, business, and historic preservation. But what exactly was the problem? Too few jobs? Too many historians? Or historians insufficiently prepared for positions that might actually exist? A book on the shelves of the AHA library yielded a partial answer to the first two questions, and the contacts I had been given for the resource groups shed welcome light on the third. The Education of Historians in the United States, published in 1962, was the work of an AHA Commission on Graduate Education in History, established in 1958 w","PeriodicalId":52352,"journal":{"name":"International Public History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/IPH-2018-0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48061384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
