ПОСТМОДЕРНИЗАМ И/ИЛИ ИСТОРИОГРАФИЈА?
Post-Modernism and/or Historiography?

Summary/Abstract: Post-Modernism, as a specifi c ideal orientation typical of the last three decades of 20th century, reached historiography with certain delay. Despite that, proclaiming the end of the rationalist European tradition and showing mistrust in meta-narration, Post-Modernism strongly infl uenced historiography, particularly with the thesis of impossibility to know the past reality and of historiography as a literary form. Cognitive skepticism and denial of the scientifi c nature of historiography were thus the direct consequence of the infl uence of Post-Modernist thinking on historical science. Questioning the basis on which historiography rested, Post-Modernism infl uenced historians to re-examine the fundamental suppositions on which the historical science rested and to devote more attention to theoretical and methodological questions by increasing the level of their criticism, developing professional self-awareness and broadening the horizon of their interest to many neglected fi elds of research.
