Revisiting History in Hayden White’s Philosophy

Author

  • Mehdi Ghasemi

Abstract

In his “Historical Fiction, Fictional History, and Historical Reality,†Hayden White writes “What we postmodernists are against is a professional historiography.†This statement inspired me to reexamine a number of White’s oeuvre from the perspective of postmodernism so as to find out in what ways and to what extent White is a postmodernist. In addition, I highlight a number of preoccupations of professional historiography and argue how White deploys the discourse of postmodernism to dismantle them.
