Subject: Re: For undergrads: history vs geneology and de-territorialization


i've always looked at history as looking at events
from certain perspectives (ie religious,
nationalistic, etc), whereas geneology is looking at
the events in the chronology and how the events came
into being, who were the players involved, etc.

history is more subjective whereas geneology is more
objective.

i hope this helps.
