So in my readings, I have come across a variety of ideas like structuralism, post-structuralism, post-modernism, etc. in historiography.
Even tho finding what those approaches, or "way-of-thinking", are is not hard, but I have seen nowhere good book or article that would give a starting point to understand what those approaches offer in historiography. How can I know if some historian is close to one of them? How can I try to see history in different ways by understanding them?
Hi, this section of our books and resources list may be of some interest to you. In terms of how to know what theoretical school a historian adheres to -- usually the introduction of the book will tell you what kind of a theoretical frame the author is taking, or you can find their professional pages at university or from their publishers that will go into their education.
