Things ain't what they used to be

Article Abstract:

There is currently considerable tension between traditionalists and postmodernists within history departments at UK universities. Postmodernists believe that history cannot be separated from the historian, and regard history as constructed narrative which has close links with literature. In contrast, traditionalists believe that history is primarily a discipline, with professional historians collecting and assessing evidence which determines people's views of the past. Social and generational factors are tending to fuel this debate.

From the Teletubbies to Goya

Article Abstract:

Cultural Historian, Writer and Art Critic Marina Warner suggests imagination is influenced by various sources, such as the cinema and paintings. From the very earliest days of cinema dark and frightening images have been projected. Warner points out the imagination is used to look into the dark side rather than the cheerful and pleasant. It has not yet been decided where imagination lies in a representational drawing of the the mind. Warner was due to deliver her lecture 'The Structure of the Imagination' at Darwin College, Cambridge, England, on Mar. 6, 1998.
