how to do it
investigation
yes
the investigation should be carefully organized
attention to the type of question
use both sources throughout the whole investigation
use quotes carefully (they must be explained and integrated into the analysis)
references
show awareness of the historical context
add secondary sources and other primary sources
no
too much narrative
poor referencing of sources
limited awareness of different perspectives
listing of evidence instead of investigation analysis + evidence
overuse of the quotations
plagiarism
poor organization of arguments
few connections to the question and purpose of the investigation
conclusions that are not evidence-based
reflection
What methods used by historians did you use in your investigation?
• What did your investigation highlight to you about the limitations of those methods?
• What are the challenges facing the historian? How do they differ from the challenges facing a scientist or a mathematician?
• What challenges in particular does archive-based history present?
• How can the reliability of sources be evaluated?
• What is the difference between bias and selection?
• What constitutes a historical event?
• Who decides which events are historically significant?
• Is it possible to describe historical events in an unbiased way?
• What is the role of the historian?
• Should terms such as "atrocity" be used when writing about history, or should value judgments be avoided?
• If it is difficult to establish proof in history, does that mean that all versions are equally acceptable?
information
In 1931, the Nazi Party was still in the process of consolidating its power in Germany. In the early 1930s, the Nazi Party was growing by the economic harship and political instability because of the World War i. But it was only until 1933 that Hitler because Chancellor of Germany and the nazi Party officialy assumed control.
Kirchner was associated with the artistic movement known as Die Brücke (The Bridge). This movement aimed to break away from traditional artistic conventions and explore more emotional and subjective forms of expression.
During the time the self-portrai was done, the Nazi Party had not yet fully implemented its aggrassive cultural policies, including the condemnation of moder art as "degenerate". However, the atmosphere of political unrest and the rise of radical ideologies likely imfluenced the cultural climate in which artist like Kircher worked.
The nazi's impact on the arts would intensify after they seized power in 1933, leading to the suppression of artistic freedom and the eventual staging of the Degenerate Art Exhibition in 1937.
