Историята на понятията - дисциплинарни и инструментални чертежи

The text deals with the disciplinary mapping and methods of the conceptual history field. It starts with the already classic opposition between Reinhart Koselleck's and Quentin Skinner's founding notions, and the emerging of many newer interpretations of the issue in the recent years. It pays special attention to 1) the relevance of conceptual history to the cultural history paradigms, and 2) its debatable relevance to comparative methods, which could ensure or not its instrumental power as it refers to different separate case studies, and especially Balkan ones.
