[Shanan]

Just a question. Is our study of JFk a historical enquiry or a character study?????

 

[fleepbasding]

it's a historiographical study. We don't study him so much as we study the various historical represenations of his character and events he was involved with.

i wud go so far as to say that its not really about him at all...
more the interpretations (so i gues yes you could say its about jfk) but a study into historiography given the context of the course

i use hersh, schlesinger & r.reeves
