Since its inception, Cultural Anthropology has published a wide range of essays that investigate the production and utilization of history, as well as the history of anthropology as a discipline. Dealing with regions from the Caucasus to Polynesia, and issues ranging from identity formation and museums to narrative and media, much of this collection of essays is united around a concern with how a people construct a specific space and time through their interpretation of the past. For example, see essays by George Marcus (1988), Matti Bunzl (2003), and Christina Schwenkel (2003).
