Die stand van stedelike en streekgeskiedenis in die RSA.

Abstract

• Opsomming: Die ontleding van navorsing wat in 'n sekere periode ten opsigte van 'n dissipline onderneem word, kan insiggewend met betrekking tot die posisie van 'n takdissipline wees. Hoewel nie alle lopende geskiedenisnavorsingsprojekte in die ontleding ingesluit is nie, is die resultaat tog verrassend. In hierdie geval blyk dit onder meer dat stedelike en streekgeskiedenis nie meer só 'n verwaarloosde ondersoekveld is soos wat algemeen aanvaar word nie.• Summary: The analysis of research undertaken in respect of a discipline over a certain period of time can be very revealing with reference to the position of a section of that discipline. Although not all current history research projects were included in the analysis the result is, nevertheless, surprising. In this case it appears that urban and regional history are no longer such a neglected field of research as generally accepted.
