DISCOURSE ANALYSIS AND THE "HISTORY OF NOTIONS” OF REINHARDT KOSELLECK IN THE ADOPTION OF THE CONTEMPORARY WESTERN HISTORIOGRAPHY
Abstract
The article is devoted to the modern Western historiography reflection on historical semantics and modes of historical time, raised in the works of the German reseacher Renhardt Koselleck. His historical epistemology, locating between a "space experience" and a "horizon of expectations" of living generations is seen as a breaking deadlock each of a “linguistic turn” and a traditional historical description. This approach makes possible to combine the analysis of historical experience with its discursive description. The authors examine the impact of theoretical and methodological foundations of Koselleck's historical semantics on contemporary German specific historical research. On the example of Russian studies in Germany in 2000-2015s, the authors consider the internationalization of "the history of notions", and the development of conceptual-historical approach in the context of new subject fields of historical scholarship.
