    “WHO CONTROLS THE

    THE PAST
    WHO CONTROLS THE
    PAST,

    FUTURE”
    - GEORGE
    ORWELL
    “ Who Controls the Past: Key Takeaways

    •"Who controls the past controls the future"


    is a quote from George Orwell's 1949 novel,
    "1984."
    •The novel describes a dystopian future,
    where all citizens are manipulated by a
    single political party.
    •Orwell was writing when information was
    being controlled by a minority of people,
    and his novel contains references to Nazi
    Germany.
    •The quote still reminds us that it is
    important to identify the sources of the
    “This specific quote of Orwell's has​
    an additional meaning to people who
    study the past, in that scholars need to
    recognize that whoever wrote a history
    book likely had an agenda, an agenda
    that might involve making one group
    look better than another.

    Today we do have the Internet, with lots


    of people giving lots of different opinions,
    but we still need to ask questions of

    What are

    What is
    history?
    The word
    HISTORY
    is taken from the Greek
    word
    HISTORIA,
    which means
    learning by
    investigation or inquiry.
    “History is the witness
    of the times,
    the light of the truth,
    the life of memory,
    the teacher of life,
    and the messenger of
    antiquity.”
    History is the interpretative
    and imaginative study of
    surviving records of the
    past , either written or
    unwritten, in order to
    determine the meaning and
    scope of human existence.
    (Henry Funtecha)
    History is “the
    recorded struggle
    of people for ever
    increasing freedom
    and for newer and
    higher realization of
    the human person.”
    Renato Constantino

    support, and the interests of one’s own
    defense of one’s nation viewed as separate
    country; national from the interests of other
    loyalty.” nations or the common
    interests of all nations.” In
    short, nationalism is a

    What is Source Criticism?

     In order for a source to be used as


    evidence in history, basic matters about
    its form and content must be settled

     1. External Criticism
     2. Internal Criticism
    EXTERNAL AND
    INTERNAL CRITICISM
    All historical sources are subject to
    rigorous scientific analysis to
    determine the authenticity and
    accuracy
    What is External Criticism?
    -is the practice of verifying the authenticity of
    evidence by examining the following:
    1. its physical characteristics;

    2. consistency with the historical characteristics of the


    time when it was produced; and

    3. the materials use for the evidence.

    Example of the things to be examined when


    conducting external criticism of a document are: the
    quality of the paper, the type of ink, and the
    language and words used in the material, among
    Examples of External Criticism
    Analysis of handwriting of experts
    Determines the authenticity of the paper in
    which the
    document was written
    Determines the authenticity of the signature
    in the document
    Carbon dating
    What is Internal Criticism ?
    -is the examination of the truthfulness of the
    evidence (provenance for Gottschalk ).

    It looks at the content of the source and examines


    the circumstance of its production. Internal Criticism
    looks at the truthfulness and factuality of the evidence
    by looking at the author of the source; its context; the
    agenda behind its creation; the knowledge which
    informed it; and its intented purpose, among others
    (Candelaria & Alphora, 2018).
    Tests of Credibility
    1. Identification of the author
    e.g. to determine his reliability; mental processes,
    personal attitudes
    2. Determination of the approximate date
    e.g. handwriting, signature, seal
    3. Ability to tell the truth
    e.g. nearness to the event, competence of witness,
    degree of attention

    Louis Gottschalk, Understanding History


    Context Analysis

    -considers the time and place the historical


    documents were written, as well as, the
    situation or the circumstances during that
    time. Works pertaining to events in the past
    are analyzed by also taking into account the
    author of the document, person’s biographical
    background, role in the event, and the intent
    for writing the document.
    The two other questions to consider when
    doing context analysis are as follows: (1) How
    authoritative is the account/source?; (2) How is
    it relevant today?
