ABSTRACT

This is the text of a talk I was scheduled to deliver at a Wesleyan University conference in April 2020 (canceled due to Covid-19) devoted to the memory and work of Hayden White. Based on issues surrounding the relationship of an innovative historical narrative to the work of theorists, and White, in particular, it argues that innovation arises from a nontheoretical mindset, but needs interaction with theorists as a commentary on the new forms of history innovation proposes.

在像这样的会议上，像我这样的叙事历史学家是做什么的？

抽象的

这是我原定于2020年4月在卫斯理大学会议上发表的演讲的文本（由于Covid-19而被取消），该演讲专门讲述海顿·怀特的记忆和工作。基于围绕创新历史叙事与理论家的工作之间的关系的问题，尤其是怀特，它认为创新源于非理论思维，但需要与理论家互动，作为对历史创新新形式的评论。
