Abstract | These two linked sessions explore creative, imaginative, unusual methods of producing history. That could mean new methodologies in writing history such as auto-ethnography and fictive histories, but it could also mean using different writing techniques or fundamentally different kinds of sources for writing history. It might also mean not writing at all - are your methods better served through the media of film, spoken word, painting, knitting, baking? In this session we consider how we can access history through the five senses. |
