metadata.value: A turn of modern science towards the study of historical memory gives rise to questions about
  the role of historical science in the formation of collective, in particular, national identity. The
  experience of a historiographic reflection on these problems is presented in a collective monograph
  “The Past for the Present: History, Memory and Narratives of National Identity” written
  by the laboratory “Studies of Historical Memory and Intellectual Culture” of the Center for
  Intellectual History Studies of the Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences,
  headed by L. P. Repina. The authors of the collective monograph examine the processes
  of national identity and historical memory formation in several countries (Russia, Britain,
  Germany, Poland, and Bolivia) in a “longue durée” perspective, in the context of global trends.
  They focus on the role that national narratives created by professional historians played in the
  construction of “historical myths” — mythologized ideas about the “origins” of national history
  that represent the constitutive elements of national identity. The authors raise the problem
  of the competition of different identities and memories, and consider the issue of the audience
  of a national narrative. They highlight the ambiguity of the social role of historical science: on
  the one hand, historians are actively involved in the formation of the national identity and historical
  memory; on the other hand, scientific knowledge provides them with tools for a critical
  analysis of historical myths and well-reasoned reflection on the projects of collective identity.
  The study represents a successful attempt of combining the “memorial paradigm” and “new
  sociocultural history” with the history of nationalism and nation-building.
