Intellectual History without a Context

In her review essay Alla Zeide critically comments on the quality of the first Russian-language publication of lectures by the Harvard historian Michael Karpovich. She begins by listing the implications of the edition’s having neither a scholarly nor a general editor. Zeide shows that both the academic and political (ideological) contexts of Karpovich’s work are either ignored or misrepresented by the authors of introductory articles, which does not allow an appreciation of the lecture course in all its complexity. She also poses a question (omitted by those involved in preparing the book) concerning why Karpovich’s grand narrative of the Russian past was structured as the history of ideas and ideological currents. Zeide gives her answer to this important question. Finally, she establishes many inaccuracies and unexplainable omissions and distortions of the original meaning in the Russian translation of the lectures and in the commentaries. She concludes that the book, or rather its critical reading, highlights problems with traditional historiography as a genre that should be replaced with a model of intellectual biography. В своем рецензионном эссе Алла Зейде критически отзывается о качестве первого русскоязычного издания лекций по истории России гарвардского историка Михаила Карповича. Она указывает на то, что у издания нет ни научного, ни общего редактора и анализирует последствия подобного обстоятельства. Авторы вступительных статей игнорируют либо неверно интерпретируют как научный, так и политический (идеологический) контексты деятельности Карповича, что не позволяет оценить публикуемые лекции во всей их сложности. Зейде задается вопросом (который не поставили авторы сборника), почему Карпович создает свой гранд-нарратив прошлого России как историю идей и интеллектуальных течений, и предлагает ответ на этот вопрос. Наконец, она отслеживает многочисленные неаккуратности перевода, прямые искажения смысла и необъяснимые пропуски, а также ошибки в комментариях. Зейде заключает, что настоящее издание лекций Карповича высвечивает проблемы историографии как жанра, нуждающегося в реформировании по образцу современной интеллектуальной биографии.

Description:
In her review essay Alla Zeide critically comments on the quality of the first Russian-language publication of lectures by the Harvard historian Michael Karpovich.
She begins by listing the implications of the edition’s having neither a scholarly nor a general editor.
Zeide shows that both the academic and political (ideological) contexts of Karpovich’s work are either ignored or misrepresented by the authors of introductory articles, which does not allow an appreciation of the lecture course in all its complexity.
She also poses a question (omitted by those involved in preparing the book) concerning why Karpovich’s grand narrative of the Russian past was structured as the history of ideas and ideological currents.
Zeide gives her answer to this important question.
Finally, she establishes many inaccuracies and unexplainable omissions and distortions of the original meaning in the Russian translation of the lectures and in the commentaries.
She concludes that the book, or rather its critical reading, highlights problems with traditional historiography as a genre that should be replaced with a model of intellectual biography.
