| contents | The Future of History: Perspectives on Parahistory, Ethics, and our Relation to the Past (an Interview with Kalle Pihlainen) Christian Palocz Historia parahistory perspectivism constructivism historiography narrative theory This interview with Kalle Pihlainen, conducted by Christian Palocz, examines central questions in the theory and philosophy of history, with a focus on constructivist and “postmodern” approaches. The conversation explores the disciplinary status of history, its relation to objectivity, and the implications of narrative construction for historical understanding. Engaging with figures such as Nietzsche, Hayden White, and Derrida, Pihlainen reflects on the epistemological and ethical challenges of perspectivism and discusses the tension between the evidentiary research phase and the interpretive nature of historical writing. The exchange also considers the political and normative roles of historiography and its entanglement with “parahistory” -understood here as the pervasive, non-academic ways in which societies remember and represent the past. In doing so, it raises questions about whether history constitutes a coherent field with a stable object or method, and how its value must be understood in relation to other disciplines. Throughout, the interview offers an accessible articulation of Pihlainen’s theoretical and philosophical commitments, while also engaging in broader reflection on the role, practice, and the future of history. 2026 otro 1405-0927 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58984242011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/589/58984242011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/589/58984242011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/589/58984242011/58984242011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/589/58984242011/movil 10.48102/hyg.vi66.621 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=589 Historia y Grafía application/pdf Universidad Iberoamericana, Ciudad de México Historia y Grafía (México) Num.66 |
