| Opplysninger | "Historiography: Contesting the Past; Claiming the Future challenges many of the assumptions underpinning current writing on the interpretations of history. Jeremy Black, one of the UK s leading historians, explains why the traditional academic concept of historiography is deficient. Prof. Black demonstrates how much this concept departs from public perceptions of the nature and value of history. In an account of history-writing from the ancient world to the present, Prof. Black underscores the differences in traditions of history-writing and emphasises the possibility that the Western academic concept of it may not be dominant in the long term. There is a need to see historiography as more than what historians do. In other words, far from being a history of ideas, historiography is also a matter of public history. Prof. Black also suggests deficiencies in current history syllabuses, and proposes a model one."
