He introduces key trends in historical theory, including postmodernism, poststructuralism, constructivism, narrativism, and the linguistic turn, shedding light on their profound influence on the way present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the past four decades, these theoretical frameworks have revolutionized the way historians approach their craft, leading to a reevaluation of historical narratives and a broader exploration of diverse topics.
