Writing History: Language, Class, and Gender

Abstract

Can one write about “Writing History” and not deal with the interaction of writing and history, an interaction so methodologically and philosophically problematic? Writing presumes words, history the world that speaks them. Seemingly distinct, they form a seamless web, for how can we know the world except through the words it constructs? History offers us no exit from this circle of mutual referents, for history itself is part of the circle, a composite of words about words, a narrative of narratives. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
