Hayden White - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia White rejected the post- R.G. Collingwood philosophy of history by brushing away previous distinctions and debates, and by rejecting the notion of causality in history. Hayden White is an historian in the tradition of In Metahistory (1973), White extended the use of tropes from a linguistic usage – figures of style – to general styles of discourse, underlying every historian's writing of history. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hayden_White

White, Hayden White asserts that the vision of a given historian derives not from the evidence, since the vision decides in advance what will constitute the relevant evidence, but rather from conscious and unconscious choices made among the possibilities offered by the categories of his historical poetics. Although White believes that historical texts are an ideal place to study narrative realism because historians traditionally claim to represent reality itself rather than fictional simulacra, his inquiry into the ideology of narrative forms and his use of tropology extend to all narrative forms. In asking how a non-narrative history is possible, White does not examine the analytic, socioeconomic historiography of recent decades (which he considers fundamentally narrative) but rather pre-narrative forms--the medieval annals and chronicles. press.jhu.edu /books/hopkins_guide_to_literary_theory/hayden_white.html

History Bump: Wraslin' Hayden White White is not telling us how discourse functions, but is describing the ways in which analogies are made and noting how these analogies, when used as description, slip away from the data itself. Our primary way of communicating, according to White, is through “easily recognizable examples,” which seem to fall into the four tropes he defines and also necessarily change the data according to their function as a trope (23). First, at the end of her summary, Becky paraphrases White’s idea that his tropes “seem to be analogous structures, rather than replications of a common theoretical model” (19). wrt-howard.syr.edu /historybump/archives/2005/01/wraslin_hayden.html

whiteho.html White thinks that the way the 'historical field' (a given set of events, developments, structures, agents etc.) takes shape in the historian's mind is ultimately determined at deep level, deeper than that on which the modes operate (which to some extent can be chosen and reflected upon consciously). White thinks that in principle any of the modes of emplotment can be combined with any of the modes of argument and any of the modes of ideology (thus in principle one could have a history written as mechanistic anarchist comedy). More important are two other claims of White's: Firstly, that all history written in the conventions established in the 19th century (and this means most historical writing up to the present day) defines itself by reference to these categories, i.e. users.ox.ac.uk /~spet0201/lectures/histlink/whiteho.html

Trailing in the Dust -- by Kevin D. Paulson Hayden writes: "As I have investigated the matter, I have concluded that a misinterpretation of what Ellen White meant when she says we are to perfect a Christian character propels some people to take extreme positions regarding the lifestyle counsels she gave to the remnant" (p. Ellen White's counsel recognizes, of course, that while country living is ideal, it is not possible for all, which is why she writes of the need to keep young people "as far as possible" from the contamination of city life (141). Hayden doesn't help his credibility or the maturity of dialogue in the church when he nurtures the myth that the debate over music is a clash between generations. www.greatcontroversy.org /reportandreview/pau-trailing.html

May 1998 Evaluation of the influence of Hayden White on the theory of history is made difficult by his preference for the essay form, valued for its experimental character, and by the need to find comparable data. In the case of historians, as Hayden White has shown in Metahistory, this irony was caused by a "bitterness" stemming from the failure of reality to fulfill their expectations. White however has consistently maintained that there is a difference, although not the one conventionally postulated. www.historyandtheory.org /archives/may98.html

waldman The present essay is a reply to Hayden White, "The Value of Narrativity in the Representation of Reality," Critical Inquiry 7 (Autumn 1980): 5-27. White is relatively unfamiliar with cultures in which the listing strategy that is used in his annals and chronicles continue to be present (in more or less elaborate guises). White allows that annals and chronicles could be seen as different rather than as lower or earlier forms but tends to read them for what they lack that "full" narratives have. www.uchicago.edu /research/jnl-crit-inq/issues/v7/v7n4.waldman.html

Narrative Psychology: Theorists and Key Figures T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z White's now familiar formulation of "externalizing the problem" arose at this time when he was predominantly concerned with helping clients in solving the major problems of their lives. Though Michael White has been one of the seminal figures in founding narrative therapy, the details of his own personal narrative -- as opposed to the development of his ideas regarding therapy -- are hard to come by. White's first career involved mechanical drafting, a profession he abandoned to study social work and, particularly, family therapy. web2.lemoyne.edu /~hevern/nr-theorists-tuvwxyz.html

Hayden White's Narrative Theory of Discovery - craig stroupe In his book Tropics of Discourse, Hayden White examines the ways that human beings structure their experience of the world with narrative forms—a process that he calls “the linguistic equivalent of a psychological mechanism of defense” (2).

Metahistory MetaFilter Hayden White is not a philosopher or a philosopher of History or even a historian of philosophy, he is a literary critic doing a rhetorical analysis of historic literature. I like Hayden White a lot, but this post is just a link to a short and poorly edited summary of a presentation given by a graduate student for some seminar. Hayden White is very pragmatic; he's trying to fine-tune the machine of history, which he perceives as being in disrepair. www.metafilter.com /mefi/38661

Hayden White's Metahistory Hayden White initiates his study in Metahistory with an arguments that all historical explanations are rhetorical and poetic by nature. Using White’s formulation and method, one is also able to recognize and analyze the type of story in a given historical account (Comedy, Tragedy, Satire, Romance, or Epic), and this emplotment accounts for the inclusion or exclusion of certain details, as well as why the historian finds some details more ‘important’ than others. The relevance of White’s work is to be able to examine and classify historians and historical accounts and to better understand and mitigate clashes over historical technique. www.stanford.edu /~skij/white.html

Electronic Seminars in History: Seminar 1. The Bishops' Census of 1563: A Re-examination of its Reliability While still constrained by what actually happened (historian's do not invent events, people or processes) as the French historian Paul Veyne suggests, the meaning of history as a story comes from a plot, which is imposed, or as Hayden White insists invented, as much as found by the historian. White's formalistic construction of history with its emphasis on the literary artifice of interpretative narrative rather than either objective empiricism or social theorising means writing history requires the emplotment of the past not just according to the evidence, but taking into account the rhetorical, metaphorical and ideological strategies of explanation also employed by historians. White has spent 22 years labouring to persuade us that our access to the past is always constituted textually as when, for example, historians create a context within their text in order to develop an interpretation. www.history.ac.uk /projects/elec/sem5.html

the untimely past bibliographies / historiography as text White, Hayden, "The Tropics of History: The Deep Structure of the New Science." In Giambattista Vico's Science of Humanity Giorgio Tagliacozzo and Donald Philip Verene, Eds. White, Hayden, "Historicism, History, and the Figurative Imagination." History and Theory 14 (1975), 48-67. White's brand of narrativism is more of a hybrid than is Andersmit's as far as its theory of explanation is concerned; nevertheless, it can also be fruitfully interpreted as an inversion of covering-law theory, replacing it by an indefinate multitude of explanatory strategies. www.untimelypast.org /bibtxt.html

H-Net Review: Johann W. N. Tempelhoff on Figural Realism: Studies in the Mimesis Effect White's constructivist appraisal of the elements which go to make up the aesthetic and critical appraisal of music as artistic and cultural artefact of the senses, features a number of prominent thinkers in the field. White points out that Auerbach's concept of reality goes beyond "the effort to produce a verbal mirror image of some extraverbal reality." Instead "Auerbach writes the history of mimesis as a story of the development of a specific kind of figuration" (p. With the advent of postmodernist thought in conservative historical circles in the 1980s, White's name was frequently cited, particularly in the context of having already questioned certain outdated methodological and theoretical assumptions.[3] Under no circumstance, however, has he ever identified himself as a postmodernist thinker. www.h-net.org /reviews/showrev.cgi?path=22091935000446

ISN Fall 1999 Event White will be reflecting on Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz, the genre of the testimonial, the problem of referentiality in relationship to the past and especially to what has come to be called "extreme events." The question is this: Is referentiality limited to "literal" (as against "figurative") utterances and if not, how can metaphor "refer"? Professor White is preparing for dynamic interaction in this workshop so participants are encouraged to actively engage in the discussion. White will be using the idea of "figure-fulfillment" from Christian sources (cfr. www.tulane.edu /~isn/boardlect.htm

Interview with Hayden White Hayden White: In the first pIace I don't think it is correctly called the linguistic turn, because a semiotic or a structuralist approach to the study of cuIturaI and sociaI phenomena is more interested in discourse than in Iinguistics. Hayden White, "The Ironic Poetics of late Modernity" He talks about the way in which there is something called creative error: you make a guess of the way some aspect of the world is and on the basis of that guess you can enter into the world and then begin testing the idea of that world and create a truth out of it. www.metabytes.com /01/cs/cs_0/c_txt/0/2004/2/0,10142,en,2004_2,White_Hayden.htm

Sport Fourth Test: over-by-over Hayden butchers him over mid-on for six, gets a thick edge through gully for four, and punishes a ball short ball outside off that sits up and begs to be hit. Langer brings up his fifty with another crunching square drive, but the shot of the over - the shot of the day in fact - is a contemptuous whip by Hayden, as he takes a good delivery from Caddick from outside off-stump to the mid-wicket boundary. 42nd over: Australia 191-0 (Langer 88, Hayden 101) Hayden brings up his hundred in the same way as he got off the mark: a top-edged pull that falls just out of reach of deep-backward square. sport.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4573251-110997,00.html

Hayden White with Said and D. A. Miller Hayden White, “The Historical Text as Literary Artifact” systems theory would call what White, Said, and Miller are driving at “discursive constructivism”: In general there has been a reluctance to consider historical narratives as what they most manifestly are: verbal fictions, the contents of which are as much invented as found and the forms of which have more in common with their counterparts in literature than they have with those in the sciences. www.faculty.english.ttu.edu /clarke/white_said_miller.htm

Powell's Books - Figural Realism: Studies in the Mimesis Effect by Hayden V White In his earlier books such as Tropics of Discourse and The Content of the Form, Hayden White focused on the conventions of historical writing and on the ordering of historical consciousness. ISBN: 0801859972 Subtitle: Studies in the Mimesis Effect Author: White, Hayden V. Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press Subject: Criticism Subject: Historiography Subject: General Subject: Mimesis. It is because historical discourse is actualized in its culturally significant form as a specific kind of writing that we may consider the relevance of literary theory to both the theory and the practice of historiography. www.powells.com /cgi-bin/partner?partner_id=28081&cgi=product&isbn=0801859972

BookkooB: Tropics of Discourse - Hayden White Although White suggests that the nature of this middle ground between science and art is problematic, due to the conceptions of both involved in defining the space in between, he seems to infer that the positivistic nature of the physical sciences has not changed radically. Whether you like it or not Hayden White changed the course of history (and the writing of it) with Tropics of Discourse. In the process of this book White calls on an amazing number of scholars in various disciplines to testify on account of his work. www.bookkoob.co.uk /book/0801827418.htm
