The history I am interested in is how the contemporary individual,
family, community and government talk, interpret and utilize the
past in order to construct the present. In other words, I am
interested in how the past is told and retold in different periods
and by different groups, how reality is chosen and forgotten in the
process of reconstructing the past, how fiction is historicized and
how past events are fabricated. I am interested in how voices are
controlled, who controls them and where we can find the lives and
ways of living of those individuals and groups of people whose
voices are forgotten or not heard. Perhaps the history I am pursuing
is the self-reflexive I who is being molded and remolded through the
process of thinking and learning. |
