Hur formulerar man ett idéhistoriskt forskningsproblem? Vilken betydelse kan plats ha i idéhistoriska undersökningar? Vilka digitala verktyg kan en idéhistoriker arbeta med? Hur skiljer sig idéhistoriska undersökningar inriktade mot medicinens, filosofins, politikens och vetenskapens historia från varandra? Den typen av frågor och fler därtill ger den nya antologin Att skriva idéhistoria (red. Bruno Hamnell & Frits Gåvertsson) svar på!
Boken kommer att kunna köpas fysiskt men kan redan nu läsas fritt tillgängligt online: https://books.lub.lu.se/catalog/book/348
