Possessing the Past: Themes in Historiography
Postgraduate/ Early Career Research Conference
  | University of Liverpool Saturday June 23rd – Sunday June 24th 2012 Key note Speakers: Dr. Kostas Vlassopoulos Prof. Christopher Tuplin Academic treatment of any historical problem entails a proper appreciation both of the relevant primary evidence and of the framework of understanding established by earlier scholarship. Historiography – the study of the way in which evidence and the interpretation of evidence present themselves to the historian – is therefore an essential component of all historical investigations. In the last thirty years many historically oriented disciplines have seen an immense growth in the study of historiography and a number of themes have begun to emerge. The purpose of this conference is to identify and elucidate some of these common themes, reflect on the role they play in current research in the fields of Classics, English, History, Modern Languages, Philosophy and Politics, and seek to advance an inter-disciplinary understanding of the issues they raise for students of history, intellectual thought and literary representation.
