Historical Concepts
Evidence
concept of evidence is an essential part of historical inquiry
Sources
primary sources
objects created or written at the time being investigated, for example during an event or very soon after
of primary sources include: official documents, such as laws and treaties; personal documents, such as diaries and letters; photographs or films; and documentaries and telligraghs
secondary sources
accounts about the past that were created after the time being investigated
secondary sources include: writings of historians; encyclopaedia entries; documentaries; history textbooks; films; illustrations; reconstructions and websites
is the information gathered from historical sources
Empathy
helps us to understand the impact of past events on particular individuals or groups
appreciation of the circumstances they faced and the motivations, values and attitudes behind their actions
can you walk in someone elses shoes?
it connects us as human beings regardless of how much time has passed
Cause and effect
examine and analyse the reasons why events have occurred and the resulting consequences or outcomes
eg. The Black Death resulted in a range of effects – some short term, others long term. Short-term effects
The concept of cause and effect is used by historians to identify chains of events and developments, both in the short term and in the long term
Significance
relates to the importance assigned to aspects of the past.
includes people, events, developments, discoveries, movements and historical sites
we need to ask whickh is worthy of study and if they are they are usually significant or more so than others
Continuity and Change
Continuity is something that is continuing
Change is when something differs from original product
eg. in the middle ages, hair was not the only thing that barbers cut. They also performed a number of different medical and dental procedures. No barber today would be legally permitted to perform such a procedure
refer to aspects of the past that have remained the same over time as continuities. Aspects of the past that do not stay the same are referred to as changes
Contestability
relates to explanations or interpretations of past events that are open to debate
contestability relies on evidence, imagination and emathy
esample, I might see someone steal some thing then confront them and they lie, I have prof with the security cameras so I am more right tha the other person.
Perspective
is the point of view or POV of someone the position form which people see and understanding events going on in the world around them
histoirans must be able to put aside their own emotions and opinions to understand the people of the past
historians have perspectives, which can influence their interpretation of the past and the way in which they write about it
historians must try to understand the different values and beliefs that shaped and affected the lives of people
feudialism
was a social heirachy that was baced on rights and obligations
