The article was noticed and included in the II edition of Stefan Kieniewicz’s preeminent work on the January Uprising2. A few years later, I advanced a thesis claiming that Kętrzyński restored his Polishness in an evolutionary way, and not – as he wrote – as a result of his sister’s letter in which she revealed that their father’s name was Kętrzyński, and so they were Poles, not Winklers – Germans3. In 1968, in the Os- solineum Library in Wrocław, I found 5 of his notebooks with his juvenile poetry. At that time, together with Antoni Łukaszewski, retired employee of the Region- al State Archives in Olsztyn, we could support the view established in 1970 with new sources.4 Since that time, several decades have passed.

  • World's Largest Congress of Americanists to Take Place in Vienna In
    World’s Largest Congress of Americanists to Take Place in Vienna in 2012 From 15 to 20 July 2012, the University of Vienna will host the 54 International Congress of Americanists (54 ICA). Around 5000 participants from Latin America and Europe are expected to gather in Austria for interdisciplinary exchange and international networking. The International Congress of Americanists returns to Vienna for the third time after 1908 and 1960, under the theme ‘Building Dialogues in the Americas’. Prominent scholars from the fields of Humanities and Social Studies will gather here to present their latest research findings and engage in professional exchange with fellow researchers. The exceedingly high interest in this congress is reflected in the large number of approved symposia, which currently stands at 460. Around 5000 participants are expected to attend the 54 ICA, with an estimated 50% from Latin America. The various thematic fields covered by the congress range from Environment and Resource Politics over Economy to Human Rights. However, the fields of History and Social and Cultural Anthropology are the most widely represented. As illustrated by the motto of the congress, ‘Building Dialogues in the Americas’, the organizers’ aim is to bridge the regional and disciplinary divides within the research area. Each day there will be various symposia and workshops as well as keynote speeches and roundtable discussions. One such keynote speech will be held by the acclaimed Ecuadorian economist and former Minister of Energy and Mining, Alberto Acosta, also known as one of the advocates of the indigenous concept of ‘Buen Vivir’. This concept of ‘good life’, which has its origins in Latin America, is also starting to attract more and more interest in Europe.

  • Friedrich Katz 1927-2010
    TTTTTTT Friedrich Katz 1927-2010 I E l Dr. Friedrich Katz fue, sin duda, uno de los historiadores extranjeros que más contribuyeron al conocimiento y difu- sión de la historia de México, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Fue hijo único del matrimonio formado por Leo y Bronia Katz. Nació en Viena, Austria, en 1927, aunque sus primeros años transcu- rrieron en Berlín. A la llegada de Adolfo Hitler al poder en 1933, los miembros de la familia Katz se trasladaron a París, ahí concluyó Friedrich sus primeros estudios. Poco después, su padre fue expulsa- do de Francia por participar en diversas actividades antifascistas, ra- zón por la cual la familia se estableció durante un tiempo en Nueva York. Posteriormente, los Katz fijaron su residencia en México. Go- bernaba en ese entonces el general Lázaro Cárdenas, quien mantenía una política de puertas abiertas a los perseguidos políticos. El joven Friedrich continuó su formación escolar en México, al quedar inscrito en el Liceo Franco Mexicano. Según el testimonio que nos da el histo- riador John H. Coatsworth, “La familia escogió el Liceo porque Friedrich ya se expresaba en un francés fluido y apenas empezaba a aprender el español. Las escuelas alemanas todavía eran pro-nazis y antisemíticas por lo que estaban vedadas para él. Irónicamente el amor de Friedrich Katz hacia México y su pasión por la cultura y la historia comenzó a desarrollarse mientras aún hablaba alemán en casa y fran- cés en el aula, y cuando vivía entre refugiados europeos preocupados 233 T TZINTZUN • Revista de Estudios Históricos TTTTTTT por una conflagración mundial que nunca afectó a México directa- mente”.

R. Epstein Forthcoming in C. Dyer, P. Coss, C. Wickham eds. Rodney Hilton’s Middle Ages 400-1600, Cambridge UP 2007 A founding member of the Historians’ Group of the Communist Party, of the journal Past and Present, and of a distinctive and distinguished School of History at the University of Birmingham, Rodney Hilton was among the most notable medieval historians of the latter half of the twentieth century. He was also the most influential of a small number of Marxist medievalists in Britain and Continental Europe who practised their craft before the renaissance of Marxist and left-wing history after 1968. Surprisingly, therefore, his work’s historiographical and theoretical significance has not attracted much attention.1 Although Hilton was, first and foremost, a ‘historian’s historian’, and made his most lasting contributions to the fields of English social, agrarian, and urban history, his engagement with Marxist historical debates cannot be lightly dismissed.2 Hilton’s Marxism, a central feature of his self-understanding as a historian, reflects both strengths and weaknesses of British Marxist historiography in its heyday, and his interpretation of a locus classicus of Marxist debate, the transition from feudal to capitalist modes of production, still carries considerable weight among like-minded historians.

  • HI 2108 Reading List
    For students of HI 2106 – Themes in modern American history and HI 2018 – American History: A survey READING LISTS General Reading: 1607-1991 Single or two-volume overviews of American history are big business in the American academic world. They are generally reliable, careful and bland. An exception is Bernard Bailyn et al, The Great Republic: a history of the American people which brings together thoughtful and provocative essays from some of America’s top historians, for example David Herbert Donald and Gordon Wood. This two-volume set is recommended for purchase (and it will shortly be available in the library). Other useful works are George Tindall, America: a Narrative History, Eric Foner, Give me Liberty and P.S. Boyer et al, The Enduring Vision all of which are comprehensive, accessible up to date and contain very valuable bibliographies. Among the more acceptable shorter alternatives are M.A. Jones, The Limits of Liberty and Carl Degler, Out of our Past. Hugh Brogan, The Penguin history of the United States is entertaining and mildly idiosyncratic. A recent highly provocative single- volume interpretative essay on American history which places war at the centre of the nation’s development is Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton, The Dominion of War: Empire and Liberty in North America, 1500-2000 All of the above are available in paperback and one should be purchased. Anthologies of major articles or extracts from important books are also a big commercial enterprise in U.S. publishing. By far the most useful and up-to-date is the series Major problems in American History published by D.C.

  • Marxist Antony Kalashnikov
    British Marxist Historians: An Appraisal Antony Kalashnikov Abstract This paper examines several of the leading British Marxist historians of the twentieth century and the contribution made by these Marxist historians to the field of historiography. The differences and similarities in the arguments presented by key Marxist historians is examined and critically analysed throughout this paper to identify the role these historians within the field. Introduction: In the second half of the twentieth century, Marxism became firmly integrated into the Western academic tradition as a valid and powerful mode of analysis. In 1950’s Great Britain, Marxism became particularly prevalent in the discipline of history. At least superficially, a group of historians was associated by their membership within the British Communist Party. Several critics, however, have argued that the British Marxist historians came to represent a school, of sorts, characterized by much more than paying homage to Marx and his historical materialism. Indeed, sociologist Harvey Kaye, in his book The British Marxist Historians, contends that they constitute a separate “theoretical tradition.” Specifically, he argues, they share a common theoretical problematic, historical problematic, approach to historical study (i.e. a methodology of class struggle analysis), and a contribution to British political culture.1 Social theorist Perry Anderson, for his part, also groups these Marxist Historians together, albeit indirectly, in his more negative critique of them. Particularly, he argues against their theoretical underdevelopment and lack of strategy. This essay will appraise the two scholars’ arguments for British Marxist historians’ commonality, in particular looking at the Marxist historians Edward Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. In doing so, I will explicate Kaye’s and Anderson’s arguments, illustrating their points with examples from Thompson’s and Hobsbawm’s work.
