Narrative logic and historical representation

Šuch, Juraj, 1969- Narrative logic and historical representation = Naratívna logika a historická reprezentácia / Juraj Šuch. -- The author of this article deals with Frank Ankersmit's constructive understanding of the nature of historical narrative. He introduces Ankersmit's analysis of the process of the construction of historical narration in his first book, Narrative Logic (1983), where Ankersmit makes a distinction between the phase of historical research and the phase of historical writing. According to Ankersmit, historical writing is connected with the application of narrative substances ("colligatory concepts"), which are related to sentences of historical narrative, but not related to historical reality. The idea of narrative substances plays a crucial role in his understanding of historical narrative as historical representation, which is considered a postmodern theory of historical writing. The author of the article also points to the relevance of the criticism of Ankersmit's holistic understanding of the nature of historical narrative, which stresses the indetermination of the meaning of facts.
