Study of an open society, without estates, but classes; without subjects, but citizens; without royal Absolutism or any state monopoly, but with a dynamic and varied civil society, et al. And it is that, quite possibly, Americans have a rich modern history (lato sensu), with extensive experience in the coexistence of crowds, the management of migratory waves, the implantation of democratic culture, etc. Even when addressing the historical study – as has also been noted – Americans seem to show greater availability and sensitivity to the attention of other social and cultural factors.
The American national identity construction was never ideological or a monopoly of any government or nation-state (as it did in much of Europe after the Enlightenment), but has been in the hands of a people – believed – united and protected by God (foundation of their civil religion, which in turn is the sustenance of their Americaness). Reflected said in discarded authors like Gary Nash and Gordon Wood.
Thus, to study American history, it is lawful, as well as very convenient, to question why and how colonial settlements begin in the current US. In this regard, although it is considered for this thesis, it is not taken advantage of here by any of the epistemological reformulations related to the controversial debate about the discovery of America, since each variant of Cultural Studies that comes about defends its own in a way almost exclusive and exclusive.
As written by Cobbs et al., 2012, the analysis of the two perspectives indicated can be determined. No doubt there are representative authors in the Neowhig. His contributions have transcended the postwar consensus itself, constituting a thesis of the main lines of interpretation of the period studied throughout the historiography of the Revolution. Gordon Wood is a historian, therefore fundamentally political and his work is a vital reference. Ideology of the revolutionary period, starting from the colonial.
The basic theory connects colonial political thought with metropolitan English, can be found with political radicalism as a characteristic source to understand the oppositional character of said colonial thought, relating as key ideas for the perspective in Wood in virtuosity, a thought socially homogeneous and national. As evidence, consensus is found throughout the social community. Highlighting political philosophy, and not based on the idea of liberalism, but of republicanism. A republicanism that emphasizes the ideas of virtue and citizenship, sharing principles of moral unanimity and conservative revolution.
On the other hand, with Gary Nash, the New left History, the socio-cultural history is highlighted, keeping the plural subject as perspective, and an emphasis on conflicts and social differences, with a Neoprogressive school. With the thesis the new manual, reflecting generations of critics, respondents and revisionists.
Special attention is given to the ideas, forms and movements, which have best contributed to the sustainable and harmonious progress of the relations between power, the sacred and freedom, of the United States. In addition, there was undoubtedly the delimitation of the established or challenges to overcome, to continue progressing (it is about reach the limits and cross them, hence the role of religion, to set the moral minimums that separate civilization from barbarism, just as they coincide The historians of the border, vid. supra).
Therefore, everyone who had different proposals to what was already established, had to go to the border to rehearse, and if it was successful and beneficial, these proposals would be integrated into the acquis common. Thus the new peripheral and interior colonies were founded (e.g. Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio), with irradiated dissidents from the theocracies of New England; or impulse was given to the conquest of the West, stimulating the nascent and unbound.
In times when history is considered of great value, in times when discourse, our discourse, historical narration, has become from the postmodern perspective, one of the central axes of the analysis, a set of readings and interpretations always variable The tip of an iceberg that examines each and every one of the aspects in which the task, the social role, the media impact or the professional relevance of the historian is called into question. The frontier of progress is present in American history, even in public policies, to consolidate the US welfare state, as well as give momentum to the special race.
The generation of historians who devoted the study of the border factor to explain the American evolutionIn addition, our definition of culture along with history reflects the vision of a contemporary, globalized social space, whose operation is so familiar to us that the regularities and the rules that govern it escape. To address a national problem, and analyzing historical perspectives, it can be seen that there is elite culture and the tradition of the people, the positions are based on historical hierarchy.
Based on this, it is important to take into account postmodern relativization, of all fundamentalism, with analysis in the popular, and the massive about modernity, elaborating open, progressive thoughts, between levels, genres and forms of social sensitivity. Integration of American progressivism, with radical American singularity (from its foundational roots), resulting in the historiological proposal of integration, the American case is different for having conformed oblivious to the great conflicts and problems of other powers. The techniques, the historiological proposal of analysis, the American case is different because oblivious to the conflicts and problems of other powers.
