{"product_id":"history-as-a-translation-of-luigi-alonzi-9781350338258","title":"History as a Translation of the Past: Case Studies from the West","description":"This volume considers how the act through which historians interpret the past can be understood as one of epistemological and cognitive translation. The book convincingly argues that words, images, and historical and archaeological remains can all be considered as objects deserving the same treatment on the part of historians, whose task consists exactly in translating their past meanings into present language. It goes on to examine the notion that this act of translation is also an act of synchronization which connects past, present, and future, disrupting and resetting time, as well as creating complex temporalities differing from any linear chronology. Using a broad, deep interpretation of translation, \u003ci\u003eHistory as a Translation of the Past\u003c\/i\u003e brings together an international cast of scholars working on different periods to show how their respective approaches can help us to better understand and translate the past in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luigi Alonzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350338257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350338258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Luigi Alonzi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484968726783,"sku":"9781350338258","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96bcc011-3286-4fb6-9d96-1cb36c244e8d.jpg?v=1778047036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-as-a-translation-of-luigi-alonzi-9781350338258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
