{"product_id":"past-in-the-present-1","title":"Past in the Present","description":"What do we remember from our national past and why? What are the dangers of history being (mis-)appropriated by politicians? \u003ci\u003ePast in the Present \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a critical analysis of recent disputes over Polish historiography. The author uses theories of collective memory as a guideline, and the Polish-German borderlands as his leitmotif. Western academic currents and long-standing (and often forgotten) Polish intellectual traditions serve as backdrop. Throughout his work – with topics ranging from Golo Mann and Stefan Czarnowski to the «other side of memory» and the «political cult of the fallen» – Traba advocates modernization and «polyphony» in the construction of a new Polish history.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246192972120,"sku":"9783631640470","price":66.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783631640470.jpg?v=1766492149","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/past-in-the-present-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
