Beschreibungen/Notizen
Cook both acknowledges the importance of the development of cultural history and interrogates its meaning. It's hard to escape "the cultural turn," he notes, citing as evidence the fact that in Google Books alone, this phrase generates more than 100,000 hits, many of which refer to works of academic history. Like Surkis and Wilder, however, he questions its very nature and historicity. Above all, he seeks to explicate the broader patterns of recent "turn talk," a fast-forming discourse that has increasingly come to define people's broader sense of cultural history. But he also challenges turn talk's larger assumptions. Indeed, his central contention is that much of this talk has made it harder to see the shifting contours of cultural history--how it has changed, the varied forms it has taken, and what it means to practice it now.
