In Approaching Historical Sources in Their Contexts, 12 academics
examine how space, time and performance interact to co-create
context for source analysis. The chapters cover 2000 years and
stretch across the Americas and Europe. They are grouped into three
themes, with the first four exploring aspects of movement within
and around an environment: buildings, the tension between habitat
and tourist landscape, cemeteries and war memorials. Three chapters
look at different aspects of performance: masque and opera in which
performance is (re)constructed from several media, radio and
television. The final group of chapters consider objects and
material culture in which both spatial placement and performance
influence how they might be read as historical sources:
archaeological finds and their digital management, the display of
objects in heritage locations, clothing, photograph albums and
scrapbooks. Supported by a range of case studies, the contributors
embed lessons and methodological approaches within their chapters
that can be adapted and adopted by those working with similar
sources, offering students both a theoretical and practical
demonstration of how to analyse sources within their contexts.
Drawing out common threads to help those wishing to illuminate
their own historical investigation, this book encourages a broad
and inclusive approach to the physical and social contexts of
historical evidence for those undertaking source analysis.
