Happy Halloween, everybody! I hope you have a great one, whether you're celebrating the holiday or just chilling out on a Saturday. (Or... Sunday... or... whatever time or day it is where you're at!) I'm very excited. :D

Enjoy part 73, and watch out for the monsters!

Speaking of-- are there enough rpers around right now to RP a little? Since I'm always asleep when the good stuff happens, and right now I'm stuck studying for historiography as;dlkf maybe there are some other people around that would like to RP?

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:15:31 UTC

...anon, perhaps you should be disciplined and first finish studying? I would be more than happy to wait for you.

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:17:12 UTC

Oh, dear lord, that would take hours. It's rather tedious reading. RP'ing in between studying helps me not go nuts.

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:18:34 UTC

..then tell me, anon- what have you learned so far?

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:24:41 UTC

Collective memory is an important part of historical understanding, but it must also be kept in mind that collective memory, this being the history of a special group (either nations or minorities such as worker's movements), their history can have a strong bias. It must always be viewed in the perspective of the history that historians practice, and the values of these two groups are completely opposite. With the former, there is always the risk of loss of objectivity, and historial reality may become convoluted.

Historicism started in Germany, under Leopold von Ranke, around 1800. They say that the autonomy of the past must always be first priority-- that is to say, the past is different from the present and must be treated as such. The second ground rule for historicism is that culture and institutes (such as the church, school etc.) can only be understood when thinking of their historical development. History, as such, is essential for a good understanding of the current world.

happy now? DDD:

Well done anon- good!

So is this exam essay, or multiple choice? Is it very soon?

[leans back, runs a gloved hand down your cheek]

Were you given a hint at your prompts ahead of time?

[leans in again and strokes a leather covered thumb down your jawline]

Continue, anon..though I request that you address me as ma'am.

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:37:44 UTC

[cowersss]

N-not really, the prompt was k-know this book and these articles inside out? M-ma'am?

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:40:34 UTC

[licks lips and pets your pretty pretty hair] Yes, so well behaved..

Articles? Could you tell me about them? Do they~

[hooks a thumb under your chin, tilting your head up]

~mention anything regarding Greek history?

o u~ anonymous October 31 2009, 11:46:14 UTC

N-no they don't they're mostly historiographical articles or articles about galileo ma'am anon ma'am. [c-cowers ;;]

oh do behave~ anonymous October 31 2009, 11:48:06 UTC

Tell me about Galileo, then-

[leans right up next to the shell of your ear]

Please..

always, anon! anonymous October 31 2009, 11:50:11 UTC

[shivers]

it just talks about the historical importance of Galileo and whether he did all the things he did first or whether he had a precedent.

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:53:52 UTC

[nuzzles the shell of your ear, purring]

So what is your opinion anon?

Please tell me in a paragraph or two

[rubs your stiff shoulder comfortingly]

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:56:21 UTC

Y-you're pretty touchy-feely, a-aren't you, ma'am?

I-I think that he certainly did ground-breaking things, and was um very gutsy about what he said, but he wasn't the first. There were definitely precedents that he was inspired by, even though they're not as famous as he is. [leans into you ;;]

anonymous October 31 2009, 11:59:28 UTC

I like to reward those who have been good..

[keeps rubbing your shoulders, turning it into a massage]

[walks slowly behind you, fingers trailing to the back of your neck, rubbing]

Could you tell me about the precedents he was inspired by? Who were they and what did they do?
