This week, ending in July 10th, 2014:
Today's thread is for open discussion of:
History in the academy
Historiographical disputes, debates and rivalries
Implications of historical theory both abstractly and in application
Philosophy of history
And so on
Regular participants in the Thursday threads should just keep doing what they've been doing; newcomers should take notice that this thread is meant for open discussion only of matters like those above, not just anything you like -- we'll have a thread on Friday for that, as usual.
Still no comments? I guess I'll try my luck again with an earlier, unanswered question of mine:
I have read the term "post-Saidian era" or something along these lines a few times now. Unfortunately, none of the authors cared to expand on it. I'm familiar with Said's work and I'm guessing that post-Saidian historiography would be less focused on clear-cut "Othering". But I'm still left with a lot of questions. Who wants to gain some postcolonial street credibility?
