reception Explanation: I hadn't come across the term before, but it appears to be just that: Reception history According to Harold Marcuse,[2] reception history is "the history of the meanings that have been imputed to historical events. It traces the different ways in which participants, observers, historians and other retrospective interpreters have attempted to make sense of events both as they unfolded and over time since then, to make those events meaningful for the present in which they lived and live." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reception_theory#Reception_his... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2017-08-16 16:32:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are two aspects of reception: the ways a person or event was portrayed (by the "multipliers" and makers of public opinion), and the ways those portrayals were perceived (by the populace at large). The portrayals are easiest to determine--they make up the historical record. However, we usually only have indirect indications of how those portrayals were perceived by individuals, and even more rarely how groups perceived them. Thus the latter, how groups perceive historical events over time, which is reception history in a narrower sense, is much more difficult to determine. http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/marcuse/receptionhist.ht... Reconstructing Ancient Worlds: Reception Studies, Archaeological Representation and the Interpretation of Ancient Egypt Authors Authors and affiliations Stephanie Moser Abstract Archaeological studies of the reception and representation of the past have proliferated in recent years, but theoretical and methodological work on this area is limited. The wider cultural engagement with prehistoric and ancient cultures is a long-established practice that has continued from antiquity to the present. During this time, there has been an exchange of ideas between those who have investigated ancient material remains and others who have represented aspects of the past in more creative contexts. Such representations of prehistoric and ancient worlds play an important part in generating interpretations of the past, yet we still know little about how they relate to the archaeological process of creating knowledge. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10816-014-9221-z -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2017-08-16 16:35:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2017-08-16 16:36:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry about all the bold text above, I meant to highlight the word "reception" only. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2017-08-16 16:42:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Since the art of Western antiquity has such a privileged, indeed canonical, position in European and American culture, the study of its receptions is an exploration of more recent history’s varied, competing and often ideologically understandings of its own past. https://empiresoffaith.com/jas-elsner/ |
