Abstract: The essays included in this thematic volume of the Anthropology of History Yearbook attempt to look at the puzzle of the representation of the past from the perspective of various humanistic disciplines. Our reflection inevitably circles between the paradigms of thinking about representations in terms of the “same”, “other” or “analogous”. In the first case, present-day representations of the past are credited with the ability to make the past visible to some extent; in the second case, our representations are given the status of a self-presentation or an expression of the will of the culture which produced them; in the third case, they are a mediation between us and the past, a mediation which in some sense resembles the past.
