DIE GEBURT DES ARCHIVS(THE BIRTH OF THE ARCHIVE: A HISTORY OF KNOWLEDGE)
Book ID/图书代码: 13560018C00123
English Summary/英文概要: The Birth of the Archive traces the history of archives from their emergence in the Late Middle Ages through the early modern period,and vividly shows how archives permeated and fundamentally changed European culture. Archives were compiled and maintained by peasants, kings, merchants, and churchmen; conceptions of archives were as
diverse as those who used them. The complex, demanding job of the archivist was just as variable: they served as custodians, record-keepers, librarians, legal experts, historians, scholars, researchers, public officials, or some combination thereof; navigating archives was often
far from straightforward. The shift of archival storage from haphazard collections of papers to the methodically organized institutionalized
holdings of the nineteenth century was a gradual, nonlinear process.
Friedrich provides an essential background to the history of archives over the centuries and enriches the story of their evolution with chapters on key sociocultural aspects of European archival culture. He discusses their meaning and symbolism in European thought, early modern conceptions of the archive’s function, and questions of access and usability. Exploring
the close, often vexed relationship between archives and political power, Friedrich illustrates the vulnerability of archives to political upheaval and war. His introspective look at the way historians have used their knowledge of and work with archives to create distinct self-representations of themselves and their craft concludes the book.
This volume introduces archive studies and archivology to the arena of culture studies and social history and engages with scholarship
in political history, the history of mentalities, conceptions of space, historiography, and the history of everyday life in early modern Europe.
While this book has much to offer specialists and scholars, the jargon-free prose of this translation is also accessible to the general reader
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 本书追溯了中世纪晚期出现至近代早期档案的历史,生动地展示了档案如何渗透并从根本上改变了欧洲文化。档案是由农民、国王、商人和教会人员编制和保管的;档案的概念与使用档案的人一样具有多样性。档案工作者复杂、高要求的工作也是多姿多彩:他们充当保管人、记录保管员、图书馆员、法律专家、历史学家、学者、研究人员、公职人员,或多重角色的组合。档案存储工作从最初随意的论文集演变到十九世纪有条不紊的、组织化的存储经历了一个渐进的、非线性的过程。
作者提供了几个世纪以来档案史的一个重要背景,并用几个章节介绍了欧洲档案文化的关键社会文化因素,丰富了档案的进化史。他讨论了档案在欧洲思想中的意义和象征意义、早期档案功能的概念,以及获取档案和可用性的问题。通过探讨档案与政治权力之间亲密关系又令人烦恼的关系,作者说明了档案面对政治动乱和战争时的脆弱性。
本卷将档案研究和档案学引入文化研究和社会历史的舞台中,并加入了政治史、心理学史、空间观念、史学和近代早期欧洲的日常生活史等方面的学术研究。本书对专家和学者有很大的帮助,但通俗易懂的译本也非常适合普通读者阅读。(LYR)
