00:00.000 --> 00:06.000
Two intertwined disciplines that offer unique insights into the past.

00:06.000 --> 00:10.000
Let's embark on a journey to understand their definitions,

00:10.000 --> 00:13.000
natures, goals and methods.

00:13.000 --> 00:17.000
Let's understand history and historiography.

00:17.000 --> 00:25.000
To learn more, let's delve further into both concepts for clarity and better understanding.

00:25.000 --> 00:30.000
History is the study of past events, people and societies.

00:30.000 --> 00:33.000
It seeks to uncover what happened in the past,

00:33.000 --> 00:37.000
relying on objective facts and evidence.

00:37.000 --> 00:41.000
Historiography, on the other hand, studies the methods,

00:41.000 --> 00:47.000
theories and practices used in interpreting and writing history.

00:47.000 --> 00:52.000
It delves into the interpretive nature of historical narratives,

00:52.000 --> 00:57.000
recognizing the influence of perspectives and biases.

00:57.000 --> 01:03.000
While history aims to understand the past through factual analysis,

01:03.000 --> 01:08.000
historiography explores how historical narratives are created and shaped,

01:08.000 --> 01:12.000
acknowledging the subjective nature of interpretation.

01:12.000 --> 01:19.000
Historians use research, analysis, interpretation and synthesis of historical evidence

01:19.000 --> 01:23.000
to uncover the truths of the past.

01:23.000 --> 01:30.000
In contrast, historiography involves the analysis and synthesis of historical methodologies.

01:30.000 --> 01:34.000
It examines how different historians have written about events,

01:34.000 --> 01:39.000
considering various interpretations and perspectives.

01:39.000 --> 01:43.000
As we navigate the realms of history and historiography,

01:43.000 --> 01:47.000
we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the past

01:47.000 --> 01:53.000
and the diverse ways in which it is understood and interpreted.

01:53.000 --> 01:58.000
History is the study of past events, people and societies.

01:58.000 --> 02:03.000
Whereas historiography is the study of methods and theories in written history,

02:03.000 --> 02:08.000
history is objective, factual and evidence based.

02:08.000 --> 02:13.000
Historiography is interpretive, subjective and perspective influenced.

02:13.000 --> 02:16.000
History aims to understand the past.

02:16.000 --> 02:21.000
Historiography aims to understand historical narrative creation.

02:21.000 --> 02:27.000
In history research, analysis and synthesis of evidence is done.

02:27.000 --> 02:34.000
Whereas in historiography, critical analysis of methodologies is done.
