Скачать или смотреть How Revisionist History is a Good Thing

The term "revisionism" is often used in a negative way on the internet and in today's hyper-schismatic, polarised society. But its actual academic use in studying history is actually based on pretty solid principles of questioning the status quo by using new evidence, techniques, and questions to allow us to develop a broader understanding of the past.

But what actually is revisionist history? Where does the idea come from? How can we apply its principles respectfully, properly to do good work in studying the past as archaeologists or historians? Why do so many people think it's just a Bad Thing? And why do some people claim to be Revisionist Historians when they're actually conspiracy theorists and denialists?

This one might require a cup of tea and some biscuits. It's a wordy one!
