no, i haven't even heard of the jesus debate

I dont think it would be a major disadvantage at all. there might be one however minuet if the source for the historiography question is on Windschuttle V Reynolds but other wise i dont think so. It might be a good idea to do some study on them just incase they are in the exam but unless you...

My teacher has never shown us the source book or even refers to it but i know it exists. With what *10# said though "other sources" means anyother source it doesnt have to be the source book, like you can use works by marx or Herododotos you dont have to just use the source book.

Is this a Windschuttle bag out session? I mean most of what i have read on this is thread is aimed not at the Windschuttle V Reynolds debate but soley at Criticising Windschuttle. If i was to write an essay in class like most of what has been written here, where it is definetly an unbalanced...

the question stated atleast one other related text so you cant be marked down at all

It is against the point of postmodernism to define it! But what you could say is that it is against a single unified way of looking at the world The 'post' in 'postmodernism' means "after", so 'postmodernism' means "after modernism" modernism has 4 major beliefs which are: * people share a...

Are you also doing Herodotos? if so you can compare the two if need be. Anyway i think as Yami said know his personal context, his belief as a historian i.e 'Traditionalist' even though the concept of traditionalist v relativist wasnt around yet, his methodology and quotes. Basically...

Edward Gibbon wrote during as you probably know during the age of enlightenment and he had wrote some work in The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire on the Crusades. Basically he has the belief that the crusader's motives were mainly materialistic but also believes that they did have a minor...

our class has only done two of the areas, because our teacher has noticed that three of the five areas over lap dramatically (the origins of the crusades, origens and motivations of the crusaders and aims and actions of the crusaders) so we have only really done the origins and motivations of...

Thanks, The quotes are no problem, i'll send them asap.

yeah i know that! But historians and sources have to be interpreted and analysed to find the objective truth if you believe that one exists and you should discuss your point of view support it with evidence and sources and also show your knowledge of the topic and identify the other perspectives...

it doesnt matter if a historian is mad or not, their perspective is still relavent because even if it is a different perspective to everyone elses you can use it to show how an arguement has arisen and display your historiographical skills

The antiquity text book has a fair few useful quotes in it. if you want i can put some on file and send you some( it might take a while) and if you want i have some other quotes here aswell

do you have the antiquity text book?

I was told that you could use other prescribed texts as a realated text as long as you point out from the start what your prescribed text is and that the other prescribed text you are using is being used as a related text.

Historiographhy is the study of the writing of history, right? So that means we study how it is written by the historians (methodology), which is how they use their sources etc. In historiography you also look at a historians baises and personal perspective in their work. So (even though i dont...

hey thats no problem, i have the opposite problem my teacher gives me notes galore. It is good in that you have plenty of notes to refer to but there seems like too many notes sometimes.

hey guys, just remember the Res Gestae will have Augustus' own perspective and biases in it since he was writing about his own achievements! so use him but point this out to show that you are assessing the validity of the source and analysing what is said instead of just pulling qoutes out of...

I agree with wiggum you can quote from anyone whose work has been published, they dont have to be a world renowned historian. I dont think it really wise though to qoute from bradley or a textbook historian because they are really a guide for your study.

i have some quotes on Pompey actually i have hundreds of them, he was the subject of my History extension major work, but it really depends on what sort of qoutes you need. If you need quotes for his character and what he done i have plenty from Plutarch, Cicero, Caesar, and some from the modern...
