S,SEASN - Seminar Historiography

Why history? What is the nature of pastness, and the epistemological warrants for understanding its connections? History is about events. It is, therefore, a discipline bound to memory, knowledges, ideologies and silences. Can we make valid connections between events without hopelessly impoverishing the idea of causal precision? Where does one stop? This course explores a selection of essential contributions to the study of history, posing questions vital to the responsible production of historical scholarship.
