Hi Extension History Friends (EHF), how are you going to study

for HSC and what do you think are some things worth mentioning

in HISTORIOGRAPHY essay?( i know it all depends on the stimulus

material and the question but still)



Here are the things that are worth mentioning, apart from modern historians are : ancient historians(e.g. Herodotus,Polybius),Englightment, Karl Marx and Annales school, Modernism/Postmodernism/Poststructuralism

P.S sorry if i dont make sense i am tired and about to fall asleep

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FANTASTIC FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi
i'm just going to answer practice questions and revise basic historiography work.
In the exam i'd probably use Ranke and Marx, Herodotos and Thucydides, Windschuttle and Reynolds and Postmodernism etc.
good luck with the exams.

Herodotus is my hero. Otherwise, using Carr a bloody lot. Quotes from his book are easy and good. Bloody Elizabeth is a cast iron bitch though. Who else is doing her?

Most ppl have a 1-2 week break from they 2nd last exam to ext1.

Which is plenty of time to study for 2 essays I recon anyway.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Not hard, just BORRRRRING!!!

ytimk,
jenkins, foucalt and white are hard to make sense of. but Jenkins thinks we should replace the old fashioned debate between carr and elton with a new pair of writers, richard rorty and white, who arent historians but philoshiphers and also in white's case a historiographer.

After my 1 unit Religion exam, I have a week until Extension History. I'm spending 3 days on Historiagraphy (Thucydides, Gibbon, Carr, Summers and Marx) and another 3 days on my case study (Crusades: motivations and aims & actions-I will be using Steven Runciman, Malouf, Nicetas Choniates, the annoynymous writer of the Gesta Francorum and Johnathon Riley Smith). I got everthing planned, so it's all good.

who is this carr person you all speak of? I have heaps of historians for historiography,...but who is carr?

 

[arls]

i think you just know all the main historians every1 has mentioned and then it all depends on the question...

not every historian relates to every question or source!

Very true...but if you read the 2002 exemplar responses you see they use the major historians...very often forcing a connection. Prolly best to have a fair few historians of varying opinions, just mho
