- Abstract
- This article examines the treatment of historical typology in an unpublished manuscript by Mikhail Abramovich Barg (1915–1991). The relevance of this subject remains significant, particularly in relation to the conceptualisation of historical periodisation – that is, the construction of temporal frameworks within the context of historical space and the formation of a global image of the past. Barg’s manuscript is noteworthy for identifying the immanent foundations of the theory of historical knowledge, as well as the methodological approaches derived from these foundations, which place typology at the forefront of efforts to understand and define historicism. Even at the lowest levels of abstraction and in closest proximity to empirical reality, it scarcely requires argument that the proper subject of historical inquiry is neither “personalities”, nor “events”, nor isolated “cause-and-effect” relationships. Rather, it is the spatio-temporal unfolding of society conceived as an integral whole – and therefore to be analysed in all its interconnections, structures, and contextual dimensions. The approach articulated by Barg prioritises an analysis of the categorical and substantive structures inherent in historical phenomena over considerations of superficial resemblance. Contemporary historiography has devoted relatively little attention to historical typology as a category of historical knowledge. Yet this neglect represents a significant gap in scholarship, particularly in light of the globalisation of regional histories and the resulting demand for theoretical tools capable of synthesising diverse historical experiences within a coherent analytical framework.
