Torkunov, rector of Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), told me about the published results of a joint historical research project between Russia and Poland that had adopted a “parallel history” approach. I was particularly intrigued to learn of this because several scholarly groups in Japan had also attempted to conduct such parallel history studies with their colleagues in China and Korea, with varying degrees of success. Parallel histories do not seek to reach agreement on a common history, rather they aim to present different perspectives on various aspects of history. Although this might appear a relatively easy task in that experts are simply asked to offer scholarly opinions, in actual fact it is quite challenging. Scholars on both sides develop a certain historical perspective based, in part, on a sense of strong pride in the history of their own country. It requires a high level of intellectual maturity to be able to listen to and understand another viewpoint. This is especially true when seen against the backdrop of recent events such as invasions and occupations, and when calls for justice might overshadow the need for intellectual open-mindedness. While patriotism is important, the challenge of a parallel history such as the present study is to balance this patriotism with a respect for each other’s country. An analogy might be drawn to Akutagawa Ryūnosuke’s 1922 short story Yabu no naka (In a Grove), which was later made into the film Rashomon by the famed Japanese director Kurosawa Akira. In the tale, three men discuss a murder in a mountain forest, but interestingly, they all have completely divergent views. The expression “Might makes right” might well be overstating the case; in essence, when there is no intellectual basis for the acceptance of diversity in a multicultural world and there is a tendency toward narrow-minded nationalism, the likelihood of conflict is inevitable. But the opportunity to examine history from the standpoint of another country and its historians is not only enjoyable but also gives rise to parallel history studies as demonstrated in this publication. Another aspect that all historians must share is a respect for well-grounded facts and rationale. While any country possesses its own values and its own narratives about its own history, in any joint historical research there must be a mutual, deferential respect for empirical evidence in order to avoid descending into a war of words that can surround national histories. Initially, I contemplated whether such lofty aims would be possible when embarking - 978-90-04-40085-6 Downloaded from Brill.com11/09/2020 12:06:26PM via free access
