The book is finally finished. It comes out 25th April 2026. It’s about historians’ β€œpersonal experiences”, how these might relate (critically and analytically) to their histories.

It is called _The Politics of Personal Experience: Writing a History of Munchausen Syndromes_

Ingold – The Rise and Fall of Generation Now – Pasuit

Is het verloop van generaties vergelijkbaar met het stapelen van lagen, of eerder met het vlechten van touw uit stengels gras?

Voor Pas Uit besprak ik The Rise and Fall of Generation Now van Tim Ingold.
