All those who work at the junction of historical research and the history-related public outreach or public policy in museums, at memorial sites, in editorial offices, administrations, schools and universities must find themselves asking this question, as it concerns both their daily professional practice and their history-related freelance activities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e What connects all these people around the world who -- although they work in different institutional settings -- experience their work as essentially common, and describe their professions as a part of a larger field of public history? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e There are countless answers to this question, yet they often converge on a simple common descriptive level which strives to address as many different practices as possible. In recent years, however, an attempt has been made to explain the nature of public history in a way that would provide an operationalizable definition of the concept. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This volume presents a continuation of this debate with contributions from Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Austria, Russia, the USA and Venezuela. By opening a space for a constructive, explicit and reciprocal discourse, this volume also renders public history visible in its form as a dynamic, theoretical scholarly practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marko Demantowsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111252434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111252438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Oldenbourg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Marko Demantowsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579922825471,"sku":"9783111252438","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e90f046-fe41-4422-8ebe-9f2f21b62d19.jpg?v=1763877595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-concept-of-public-history-marko-demantowsky-9783111252438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
