Rethinking History: Keith Jenkins & Postmodernism

Based loosely on Keith Jenkins’ Rethinking History, this video looks at postmodernism effect on the writing of history, and how ideology, methodology and epistemology shape how history is written. I also look at Margaret Appleby, Lynn Hunt and Margaret Jacob’s Telling the Truth About History, which emphasises how the history of America has changed over time. Thomas Kuhn’s paradigms and Michel Foucault’s epistemes make a guest appearance! Then & Now is FAN-FUNDED!
