No / Since 2001 the Trebus Project has been collecting first-person narrative biographies of people with dementia, the majority of whom were living in UK care homes. In 2012 David Clegg, the director of the Trebus Project, received funding from the Wellcome Trust's Arts Awards to carry out an interdisciplinary exploration of the narratives of three people with dementia who, by coincidence, had occupied the same care home room (Room 21) at different times. Analysis of the three narratives to date has discovered some uncanny echoes and resonances. The narrators make frequent reference to other rooms which are temporally or spatially connected with Room 21 in some way. There are worm-hole-like exits and entrances to past times and places, and intimations of other rooms within, behind, and underneath this present living space. At points, events in national and social history sheer dizzyingly away from the accounts of them we have inherited from official sources. Extracts from the narratives of Room 21's three inhabitants, Frances, Peter and Shirley, will be presented in a way that juxtaposes the experience of dementia and post-war postmodern consciousness: liminal, fragmentary, frequently surreal, and beyond the reach of universalising accounts of either the 'illness experience' or revisionist history. Plans to disseminate the findings of the project by means of film and dramatic reconstruction will be discussed.

Against the Tide investigates systematically for the first time how resistances to methodologies advanced by historians associated with the Annales School, one of the most influential twentieth-century schools of historical thought, came to exist in England, France, Germany, Italy and the United States between 1900 and 1970. It defines ‘methodology' in broad terms as the practice of history and poses a series of questions about resistances: who or what created them? What constituted them? Did they centre on a particular methodology, Annales historian or the Annales School as a whole? And what did opposition to methodologies incorporate: technical debates in isolation or wider issues associated with politics, religion and philosophy? The dissertation uses an interdisciplinary conceptual framework,drawing together ideas advanced in the history of science, sociology of education and knowledge, and comparative history, in order to answer these questions. The responses offered refer to and draw on a selection of sources: one hundred and nine scholars' private archives, the articles, books, critical reviews and published letters of a variety of historians and segments of the growing literature both about the Annales School and about the institutions within which the historical discipline operated during the twentieth century. They suggest that resistances played an important part in the international dissemination of Annales historians' methodologies, that resistors held different ideas about the Annales School from those of its creators and divergent methodological commitments, but that they like Annales historians often sought to enhance historical research and sometimes worked on the same subjects but in different and occasionally equally inventive ways. Overall, the findings illustrate a limited but important part of Annales' own history and thereby help to cast the School in new light on terms other than its own by placing it in the transnational context of twentieth-century transatlantic historiography.

anglicky: This master's thesis deals with czech historical facts within teaching czech in Czech School TGM in Chicago. It also includes a perception of czech facts inside the group of Czech compatriots. This community is not numerous as was the case in the half of the 19th century nevertheless its cultural life is still very interesting and is worth the attention. This Czech community is varied because of generation before 2nd World War as migrants from 90's of the 20th centrury. They all have a need to preserve and pass cultural identity to their descendants. The theoretical part of the thesis primarily explains key word facts and its position inside culture and teaching. It also mentions the word heritage language and its transfer. This part deals with basic informations about czech community in Chicago and about a large number of this group activities. The empirical part of the thesis describes and analyzes an author's experiences from teaching in summer czech school in 2017. This part is based on analysis of preparations a study plan, an analysis of diary record from Czech lessons and also an analysis of a questionnaire filled in by participants of summer Czech school and members of Czech community. Research outcomes can help to better cognition facts in teaching and their meaning for children...

Este trabalho se propôs a refletir sobre a história do Museu Histórico Nacional através da dimensão educativa que se fez presente nas práticas institucionais, bem como verificar, sob a perspectiva da História da Educação, a importância do Curso de Museus na construção de representações relacionadas ao caráter educativo da instituição. Compreendeu os anos de 1922 a 1958, período que abrange desde a fundação do museu e as primeiras investidas para a concretização de um curso direcionado para as suas necessidades, até a realização do Seminário Regional da UNESCO Função Educativa dos Museus, bem como as publicações de diplomados do Curso de Museus que tiveram como temática central a educação em museus. A investigação foi realizada utilizando-se a metodologia da análise de textos, percorrendo a trajetória do Museu Histórico Nacional por meio de documentos oficiais produzidos pelo museu; matérias de jornais; livros, artigos, relatórios e entrevista de antigos funcionários da instituição; e publicações de formados pelo Curso de Museus. Para o embasamento teórico do trabalho três áreas do conhecimento tiveram destaque: História da Educação, História Cultural e História dos Museus, dialogando com diversos autores, tais como Antonio Viñao Frago, Moysés Kuhlmann Júnior, Paulo Knauss, Roger Chartier, Pierre Nora, Ulpiano Bezerra de Meneses, Mário Chagas, Aline Montenegro Magalhães. O trabalho ressaltou que desde sua fundação o Museu Histórico Nacional teve definida sua dimensão educativa, condição subsidiada por projetos desenvolvidos pelo corpo funcional da instituição, tendo em destaque o idealizador e primeiro diretor Gustavo Barroso, personagem que fortaleceu a relevância desse museu por meio de evocações como o mote “O Culto da Saudade”. Finalizou ao afirmar que um desses projetos, o do Curso de Museus, em seu processo de consolidação foi capaz de desenvolver uma matriz intelectual no cenário museológico brasileiro tornando-se, por meio dos multiplicadores, um difusor das representações do Museu Histórico Nacional para o País. / This study aimed to reflect about the history of the National Historical Museum through educational dimension that is made present in its institutional practices, as well as verify, under the perspective of the History of Education, the importance of Course of Museums in building representations related to the educational character of the institution. It encompassed the years 1922 through 1958, a period that covers from the foundation of the Museum and the first attempts at achieving a course directed to its needs, to the UNESCO’s Regional Seminar on the Educational Role of Museums, as well as publications of Course of Museums graduates that had as its central theme the museum education. The research was conducted using the analysis of texts methodology, covering the history of the National Historical Museum through official documents produced by the Museum; newspaper articles, books, articles, reports and interviews of former employees of the Institution, and publications by graduates of the Course of Museums. For the theoretical foundation of the work, three areas of knowledge were highlighted: History of Education, Cultural History and Museum’s History, dialoguing with many authors such as Antonio Viñao Frago, Moyses Kuhlmann Jr., Paul Knauss, Roger Chartier, Pierre Nora, Ulpian Bezerra Meneses, Mário Chagas, Aline Montenegro Magalhães. The study emphasized that since its inception the National History Museum had its educational dimension defined, condition subsidized by projects developed by the institution’s functional body, featuring the founder and first director Gustavo Barroso, a character that strengthened the relevance of this Museum through evocations as the motto "O Culto da Saudade." Concluded by stating that one of these projects, the Course of Museums, in its consolidation process was able to develop an intellectual matrix in the Brazilian museum’s scenery becoming, due to multipliers, a diffuser of the representations of the National History Museum for the Country.

Canadian historians periodically reassess the state of their craft, including their role as conveyors of the past to the Canadian public. With each review since the late 1960s, some Canadian historians have attempted to distance the profession from the work of those scholars labelled national historians. Three of the most prominent of these national historians were Arthur Lower, Donald Creighton, and W.L. Morton, whose work was once popular among both professional historians and the general population. Drawing primarily upon reviews of their monographs, this thesis tracks the changing status of national history within English-Canadian historiography since 1945 by examining how Canadian historians have received the work and assessed the careers of Arthur Lower, Donald Creighton, and W.L. Morton.<p> National history can be broadly defined as the history of a specific nation, more typically, a nation-state. While the specific characteristics of national history have, like other types of history, changed over time, Canadian national history in the decades following the end of the Second World War used strong scholarship and clear, readable prose to communicate a specific vision of Canada to the general public. While Lower, Creighton, and Morton applied differing interpretations to their historical research, they all employed these components of national history within their work. After the Canadian Centennial, a new cohort of baby boomer historians brought a different set of values to their understanding of history, and the interpretations so widely acclaimed during the 1950s and early 1960s failed to persuade this new generation of Canadian historians. The lasting reputation of each of these three national historians has been highly dependent on whether each scholars preferred interpretation aligns with the new values held by the new generation of Canadian historians. While W.L. Mortons western perspective fit in well with the regional concerns of the 1980s, and Arthur Lower retained a reputation as an early innovator of social history, Donald Creightons career has been remembered for the strident opinions of his later life, especially regarding the growth of Quebec nationalism and the increasing influence of the United States within Canadian national affairs. It is Creightons diminished reputation among English Canadian historians that is most commonly linked to the moniker of national history. As the gap between the postwar understanding of Canada and the post-Beatles vision for Canada continued to widen throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the Canadian historical community, on the whole, continued to equate all national history with the reactionary reputation of an aging Donald Creighton. While this simplistic view provides convenient shorthand for the genre of national history, it fails to appreciate both the substantial contributions of national historians to Canadian historiography and the widespread influence of their work on the reading Canadian public.

The thesis focuses on the shaping of the national history of Albanians during the Albanian national movement. The time frame of the study is epoch between 1854 when Johann Georg von Hahn published Albanian Studies, and 1912 remarking proclamation of Albanian independence. The main goal of the paper is to introduce the structure of Albanian historical narrative in its romantic phase. For this purpose, the content analysis of works of seven main representatives of the national movement was used. Selected authors include: Jeronim de Rada, Pashko Vasa, Thimi Mitko, Spiro Risto Dine, Sami Frashëri, Naim Frashëri, Jani Vreto. The thesis explains the timeline of historical narrative and the perspective on the role of religion and religious communities. The study also covers creating the pantheon of national heroes and perception of neighbouring nations. The construct of the historical narrative is described in the context of beginnings of European scientific research about Albanian history. A reader will also get familiar with elementary ideological development of the Albanian national movement on the background of pivotal historical moments. The attachment of the thesis represents short biographies of selected authors.
