i've never done windschuttle. he seriously is not that interesting in terms of historiography and i can think of much better contemporary historians that remain curiously untouched by the majority of history extension students.

didn't get that impression myself, nor did i see much representation or justification of that particular view. hmm wonder whyyyy

yeah-- i also am interested in others' views on White Oleander. after reading it a second time i wanted to smash it into a gazillion pieces. i have such disgust for that book now.

so how does this work exactly? do we just read the three (?) selected texts in a week (though i have read the likely ones already....) and then just rave on about them until a poll is made for some new ones?

hahaha ohh dear. when are they gonna ditch DWM.

yeah i know. it is useless to us, but for someone who claims to have "nothing" it is a good start i think

pleeeeaaaasssee not 1984

yeah i also forgot to mention---- CONCEPT is kind of difficult, if you're looking for something somewhat unique and sophisticated; and then wrapping all your writing (if creative) around your concept. my teacher used to rave on about how mine was too 'intellectual' but in comparison to some of...

yeah i would suggest you refer to both postmodernism / post-structuralist views of history as well as a few thinkers on it-- i would suggest Foucault (genealogy & archaeology) and Derrida (deconstruction / linguistics / semiotics et cetera; you probably know how it goes) and through this you can...

okay so wait-- so we have to (/ought to) state the name of the source - whether from the BOS book thing or otherwise - in our essays? i mean i can understand why perhaps for the case study question, but is it necessary for the first question? i always figured we just used as many HISTORIANS...

oh fuck my mistake i meant Charles Sturt. (http://hsc.csu.edu.au/society_culture/index.htm)

yeah i didn't think it was hard at all (though it's a nice thing to play up :P), i didn't do any research or put any real effort in...but it gets stressful if you leave it all to the last few weeks and have to force your creativity.

haha i just wanted to say that this thread makes me laugh every time i see it-- that has to be one of the most un-talked about and undiscovered areas of history that highschoolers look at. good luck with it!

HAHA asylum. let us pretend to be entirely beyond it all now. :D ps NeverSummer YES-- the writers of post-structuralist works and theory are more concerned with language, though more than just its inherent bias. authority, power, layers within deconstruction et cetera. i read this FUCKED UP...

you're all mad i don't know how you write so much

i finished with about 1 min. but i looked around a lot during, because i ran out of things to say for the second question. :(

yeah i'm thinking 40ish, though i am not confident that i got 20 or up for the creative part.

nuh if yr nerd enough to get on here then there'll definately be a whoollle world that knows less than you :)

we were slow moving and didn't get to its un-defineable-ness 'til the third lesson i think... too busy learning how to spell and pronounce it and "lieutenant".

hopefully they'll change it all for next years kids after reading my mangled attempt to make the entire world postmodern :D
