Igor Kobylin's articles collected in this book are devoted, in one way or another, to the genealogy of modern historicism, its pre- and post-history, to use Benjamin's terminology. How does its "settling-and-smoothing" (according to Heidegger) mechanism work? What transformations has historicism experienced and is it currently experiencing, and what today threatens the dialectical unity of its poles? Why can historical rationality be called managerial rationality in the sense accorded to managerialism by Michel Foucault? What new challenges of the extraordinary does historiography currently face, and why does the appropriation of historical heritage result in the collapse of the past, present, and future? The author traces the adventures of historicism across a variety of cultural sources—from the works of theorists like Helen White and Yury Lotman to photography and street art—introducing the reader to current theoretical interventions in the field of history and offering his own perspective on the paradoxes of contemporary historical consciousness. Igor Kobilin is a philosopher, cultural historian, candidate of philosophical sciences, associate professor at the Russian State University for the Humanities, and associate professor at the PMU.
