As you've expressed, I think it's vital to transcend notions of objectivity claimed, at times, of certain disciplines (or one could at least allude to an aura of objectivity, say, surrounding a stereotypical form of scientific inquiry) and, instead of this, to dive into the messy stories that are necessarily told (and don't exist before they're told. I find it useful to use the concept of Historie as a backdrop against which Geschichte is cast into relief, insofar as Historie (the way that I understand it) accounts for everything that has been and Geschichte is Historie filtered through an Erzähler.) Definitely a relevant point of discussion for the book we're reading for Dr. Kim's class! Thanks for the thought-provoking read!mjphillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772005937949891057noreply@blogger.com
