歷史與時間：法國史家阿多格來臺演講論文集
阿多格（François Hartog）是當今法國最知名的史家之一，其代表性著作《歷史性運作機制》（Régimes d’historicité），自2003年問世後，逐漸引發國際學界對此議題的討論，現今已有多種外語譯本。
藉著對西方古今歷史編纂學的探討，以及不同時期文藝作品的分析，阿多格試著捕捉人們對於過去、現在、未來的時間感受，以及這些感受所反映的意義。依他所見，以「歷史為人生之師」或未來主義為導向的歷史性運作模式都已無法解釋今日社會呈現的時間失序感。記憶膨脹、襲產熱潮、「人類世」概念的出現，一切事物的加速……我們正面臨一個新的歷史處境。
當代時間經驗及種種相關現象，正是阿多格在其名著出版多年後仍企圖深掘的議題。2019年5月間，透過法國在臺協會與中央研究院人文組的合作，我們有幸邀請阿多格教授來臺演講。此論文集便是他當時的三篇演講文稿，加上兩篇近作所組成的中文翻譯版，除了對歷史學晚近處境提出省思，也為今日社會提出更多洞察。

About the author
François Hartog
44 books26 followersFrançois Hartog is a French historian and Chair of Modern and Antique Historiography at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris. Born in 1946, Hartog attended the 'École normale supérieure. A former student of Jean-Pierre Vernant and assistant to Reinhart Koselleck, Hartog’s early work focused on the intellectual history of ancient Greece and historiography, while his recent work deals mainly with temporality.
His most recent book to be published in English, Regimes of Historicity: Presentism and Experiences of Time (Columbia University Press, 2015, translated by Saskia Brown), engages our “ways of relating to the past, present, and future.” Hartog also tackles the concept of “presentism,” or how we adhere to present-day ideas to attempt to understand the past via interpretations of writing as the “motor of history” and the “contradictory qualities of our contemporary presentist relation to time.”
Hartog’s research frequently attempts to situate the progressions of time and memory against the realities of repetition and methodologies of understanding history from various theoretical reference points.
His other publications include Mémoire d'Ulysse: récits sur la frontière en Grèce ancienne (Gallimard, 1996), Anciens, modernes, sauvages (Galaade, 2005), and Vidal-Naquet, historien en personne (La Découverte, 2007), as well as countless articles, lectures, and, more recently, a series of podcasts on ancient and modern history.
