In your answer you will be assessed on how well you: present a detailed, logical and well-structured answer to the question use relevant issues of historiography use relevant sources to support your argument Using the Source, answer the question that follows. Source H istory plays a crucial part in our understanding of ourselves, our society and our future and is thus a powerful ideological weapon, constantly being reworked. But academic historians have become more uncertain about this role. They have shied away from producing a readily identifiable and politically manipulable [adaptable] truth ; they have insisted on the openness of history; they have abdicated their own claim to be upholders of national narratives; they have felt uneasy about the sweeping generalisation and the easy myth-making so sought after by any community. We are left with something of a vacuum where once historians spoke authoritatively. There is still a demand for someone or something to fill the old role of history, the metanarrative [national history] of the past from which the nation draws colourful moral lessons. If historians have been unwilling to meet this demand, others have been only too eager. The meaning of the past is everyone s concern. Inevitably, the nation s narratives are still being produced but increasingly by the press, by television mini-series, by advertisements, by politicians, by self-appointed polemicists [people who argue for a cause]. Many of them do it very well. But it remains a history that is imposed on us, if not from above then from people with an axe to grind, a point to score, a product to sell. Memories and Dreams, R. WHITE AND P. RUSSELL, 1997 Question 1 (25 marks) With reference to the source material and other sources, evaluate how approaches to history have changed over time. 2 Section II 25 marks Attempt Question 2 Allow about 1 hour for this section Answer the question in a SEPARATE writing booklet.
