The three editors’ choice of title is a hint to the intellectual debt the so-called Cambridge school of contextualism has to the Oxford philosopher John L. Austin and to his exploration of the performative role of language in How to Do Things with Words (1962). The influence of this seminal work, and of its reception in Quentin Skinner’s work, is evident in the methodology and in the intellectual perspective adopted by all the contributors to this volume. In addition, they emphasize the active role of the historian (with his/her background of beliefs and problems of the age) in writing history, thus problematizing the received notion of historiography: “the object of an ancient historian’s inquiry is a living thing” (p. 1). It is influenced by the theories and methodologies of the day, a consideration which places historiography itself in context.
How to Do Things with History is a collection of essays that explores current and future approaches to the study of ancient Greek cultural history. Rather than focus directly on methodology, the essays in this volume demonstrate how some of the most productive and significant methodologies forstudying ancient Greece can be employed to illuminate a range of different kinds of subject matter. These essays, which bring together the work of some of the most talented scholars in the field, are based upon papers delivered at a conference held at Cambridge University in September of 2014 inhonor of Paul Cartledge's retirement from the post of A. G. Leventis Professor of Ancient Greek Culture.For the better part of four decades, Paul Cartledge has spearheaded intellectual developments in the field of Greek culture in both scholarly and public contexts. His work has combined insightful historical accounts of particular places, periods, and thinkers with a willingness to explorecomparative approaches and a keen focus on methodology. Cartledge has throughout his career emphasized the analysis of practice - the study not, for instance, of the history of thought but of thinking in action and through action.The assembled essays trace the broad horizons charted by Cartledge's work: from studies of political thinking to accounts of legal and cultural practices to politically astute approaches to historiography. The contributors to this volume all take the parameters and contours of Cartledge's work,which has profoundly influenced an entire generation of scholars, as starting points for their own historical and historiographical explorations. Those parameters and contours provide a common thread that runs through and connects all of the essays while also offering sufficient freedom forindividual contributors to demonstrate an array of rich and varied approaches to the study of the past.
