ABSTRACT

Among non-verbal motivating aspects of knowledge production, the modes of attention we name wonder, curiosity and fascination stand out. These different modes of attention are sometimes closely intertwined but can still be fruitfully analyzed as three distinct ways in which we encounter and approach objects that attract us or that we want to gain insight into. Wonder, curiosity and fascination will initiate different questions and direct toward various conclusions such as contemplation, causality and reminding. Awareness of which mode of attention one is performing when doing historical work will influence the kind of history one ultimately presents.

摘要

在知识产生的非言语激励方面，我们称为奇迹，好奇心和迷恋的注意力模式脱颖而出。这些不同的注意力模式有时紧密地交织在一起，但仍可以作为三种不同的方式进行富有成效的分析，即我们遇到并接近吸引我们或想要获得洞察力的对象的方式。好奇，好奇和迷恋会引发不同的问题，并指向各种结论，例如沉思，因果关系和提醒。知道在进行历史工作时人们正在采取哪种注意力模式将影响人们最终呈现的历史类型。
