Eric Hobsbawm Frases famosas

“Mito e invenção são essenciais à política de identidade pela qual grupos de pessoas, ao se definirem hoje por etnia, religião ou fronteiras nacionais passadas ou presentes, tentam encontrar alguma certeza em um mundo incerto e instável, dizendo: "Somos diferentes e melhores do que os Outros.”

Eric Hobsbawm

On History

“Uma previsão: a guerra no século 21 provavelmente não será tão assassina como era no século 20. Mas a violência armada, criando sofrimento e perda desproporcionais, continuará onipresente e endêmica - ocasionalmente epidêmica - em grande parte do mundo. A perspectiva de um século de paz é remota.”

“A história, mesmo quando generaliza com muita eficácia - e em minha opinião ela não vale muita coisa se não genereliza -, sempre está atenta à dessemelhança. A primeira lição que um historiador profissional aprende é ficar à espreita de anacronismo ou de diferenças naquilo que à primeira vista parece ser a mesma coisa, como a monarquia britânica em 1797 e 1997.”

Eric Hobsbawm

On History

“O domínio do passado não implica em uma imagem de imobilidade social. É compatível com visões cíclicas de mudança histórica, e certamente com a regressão e a catástrofe (ou seja, o fracasso em reproduzir o passado). É incompatível com a ideia de progesso contínuo.”

Eric Hobsbawm

On History

“É precisamente essa a dificuldade de uma antropologia histórica-e-social que abandona a velha crença nos procedimentos e vocações de ambas as disciplinas, por inadequadas que possam ser sub specie aeternitatis, principalmente para o tipo de modelos intelectuais que assolaram os departamentos de literatura. Fica muito difícil conferir estrutura intelectual e expositória ou literária aos nossos escritos, afora o risco de que nosso tema seja desconstruído em fragmentos unidos apenas pela experiência comum de uma crise de identidade incomunicável.”

Eric Hobsbawm

On History

“Naturalmente, minha objeção não é quanto aos historiadores tomarem de empréstimo técnicas e ideias de outras ciências sociais e incorporarem a seu próprio trabalho os mais recentes desenvolvimentos nessas ciências, desde que sejam úteis e pertinentes. É quanto à distribuição de bagagem histórica em uma série de vasos não comunicantes. Não existe uma coisa do tipo história econômica, social, antropológica, ou história psicanalística: existe apenas história.”

“Como eu penso de volta, eu me pergunto, de novo e de novo: houve uma alternativa para o avanço indiscriminado, brutal, basicamente não planejado do Plano de Cinco Anos? Eu gostaria de poder dizer que houve, mas não posso. Não consigo encontrar uma resposta.”

“The destruction of the past, or rather of the social mechanisms that link one's contemporary experience to that of earlier generations, is one of the most characteristic and eerie phenomena of the late twentieth century.”

Introduction, The Century: A Bird's Eye View
The Age of Extremes (1992)

“It was the tragedy of modernist artists, Left or Right, that the much more effective political commitment of their own mass movements and politicians - not to mention their adversaries - rejected them. With the partial exception of Futurist-influenced Italian fascism, the new authoritarian regimes of both Right and Left preferred old-fashioned and gigantic monumental buildings and vistas in architecture, inspirational representations in both painting and sculpture, elaborate performances of the classics on stage, and ideological acceptability in literature.”

“However, mass expulsion and even genocide began to make their appearance on the southern margins of Europe during and after World War I, as the Turks set about the mass extirpation of the Armenians in 1915 and, after the Greco Turkish war of 1911, expelled between 1.3 and 1.5 millions of Greeks from Asia Minor, where they had lived since the days of Homer.1 Subsequently Adolph Hitler, who was in this respect a logical Wilsonian nationalist, arranged to transfer Germans not living on the territory of the fatherland, such as those of Italian South Tyrol, to Germany itself, as he also arranged for the permanent elimination of the Jews.”

“The cultural revolution of the later twentieth century can thus best be understood as the triumph of the individual over society, or rather, the breaking of the threads which in the past had woven human beings into social textures. For such textures had consisted not only of the actual relations between human beings and their forms of organization but also of the general models of such relations and the texted patterns of people's behaviour towards each other; their roles were prescribed, though not always written. Hence the often traumatic insecurity when older conventions of behaviour were either overturned or lost their rationale, or the incomprehension between those who felt this loss and those too young to have known anything but anomic society.”

Chap. 3 : What Can History Tell Us about Contemporary Society?
On History (1997)

“The past is therefore a permanent dimension of the human consciousness, an inevitable component of the institutions, values and other patterns of human society. The problem for historians is to analyse the nature of this 'sense of the past' in society and to trace its changes and transformations.”
