Abstract

Historians are playing an important role in Macedonian society. Their understanding of history and their focus of research interest revolves around the national identity of Macedonians and differentiating them from Others. In recent decades, the political debates in the Republic of (North) Macedonia and its relations with Bulgaria and Greece have had important impact on historiographic production and the new (revisionist) interpretations of the past. History has become an essential element in contemporary politics that is key for framing the national identity of the Macedonians. In this new political context historians are even more engaged in political campaigns and debates, thus making them and their historiographical work one of the sources for symbolic division in the country.

马其顿史学:身份与政治问题

历史学家在马其顿社会中发挥着重要作用。他们对历史的理解和研究兴趣的焦点围绕着马其顿人的民族特性以及他们与其他民族的区别。近几十年来，（北）马其顿共和国的政治辩论及其与保加利亚和希腊的关系对历史学的创作和对过去的新（修正主义）解释产生了重要影响。历史已成为当代政治的基本要素，是塑造马其顿人民族身份的关键。在这一新的政治背景下，历史学家甚至更多地参与政治运动和辩论，从而使他们及其历史学著作成为该国象征性分裂的来源之一。

期刊介绍： Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
