Topic: Hayden White


  
  Hayden White - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hayden White(1928-) is an historian in the tradition of literary criticism, perhaps most famous for his work Metahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe (1973).
White rejected the post-Collingwoodian philosophy of history by brushing away previous distinctions and debates, and by rejecting the notion of causality in history.
Referring to Paul Ricoeur, by whom he was strongly influenced, White writes, "plot is not a structural component of fictional or mythical stories alone; it is crucial to the historical representations of events as well" (51).

 CNN.com - Bush nominates Hayden as CIA chief - May 8, 2006
Hayden is "supremely qualified for this position," Bush said during an Oval Office announcement with the 61-year-old nominee, who is principal deputy to National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.
Hayden's selection is likely to bring renewed attention to the controversy surrounding the Bush administration's program to monitor communication into the United States by suspected terrorists without court warrants.
Hayden has defended the program, insisting it is a necessary tool to thwart terrorists and that the process of obtaining warrants is too slow and cumbersome to deal with "a lethal enemy."

 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.
As a result, salient themes of White's later work-the ideological and political import of narrativization, the "historical sublime," and writing in the "middle voice"-have largely gone unremarked by historians and philosophers.
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.

 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.
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.
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).

 Hyperboreans ~ View topic - Metahistory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-16)
White argues that the grounds for the dismissal of both models are ‘extra-epistemological.’ When something is extra-epistemological, that means there are no apodictic epistemological grounds for the preference of one explanation over another whatsoever.
White also claims that prior to Enlightenment the ideology that did not refer to science as authority was authoritarian itself.
Hayden white does not think history is capable of discovering the truth the same way the natural sciences can, for it cannot produce predictive or probable laws.

 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).
The “fourth move” of the “I” is what White calls the “ironic reflection on the inadequacy of the characterization with respect to the elements which resist inclusion in the…ordered totality” (6).

 Metahistory | MetaFilter
Hayden White is very pragmatic; he's trying to fine-tune the machine of history, which he perceives as being in disrepair.
White's conception of Nietzsche as philosophically and historiographically anarchistic (not a capital a) derives from N.'s refusal to give any epistemological privilege to the narratives of power and his efforts to look past those narratives to see them not as "truth", but as expressions of power.
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.

This article argues that Hayden White's vision of historiography can be appropriated for the “public use of history” in many ethnic and nationalist conflicts today.
The historical is not opposed to the ethical, as White maintains; the historical is the ethical.
White may be right that cultural relativism results in cultural pluralism and toleration, but what if most people are not cultural relativists, and believe fervently in their right to specific lands at the expense of other peoples?

Among the four tropes which Hayden White uses to characterize the dominant modes of historical thinking in the modern Western world - metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche and irony - the trope of irony seems to lay at the heart of White's own understanding of history.
Reaction, Pessimism and Egoism: Jacob Burckhardt and Hayden White on the Responsibility of Historians.
If we accept the validity of Hayden White's harsh judgement upon Burckhardt, and his picture of him as "a superb analyst of the phenomena of cultural decline" (264), but unfortunately, with his historical works implicitly promoting Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophy and thereby "a reactionary, pessimistic and egoistic world-view" (238) this would have far-reaching philosophical consequences.

 the untimely past bibliographies / historiography as text
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.

 DECONSTRUCTING HISTORY
As White himself points out, the range of emplotments upon which the historian draws though wide, because of the combinations possible, is formally limited to the four main kinds - romance, tragedy, satire and comedy - and is in this respect no different to that of other narrators who operate in the realm of fiction.
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.
Hayden White follows other historians interested in the cognitive role of narrative, like Louis Mink, D.G. Polkinghorne, W.B. Gallie and Paul Ricoeur among many others, and like them he questions the cognitive function of narrative.[16] Written history is more than merely innocent storytelling.

Hayden was head of the NSA when the Bush administration authorized it to use secret taps without a court order to track al-Qaida suspects in the United States and abroad.
But the White House moved swiftly to lift the veil from some of the NSA's murky operations and let more members of Congress in on some of the wiretapping secrets.
Hayden, with White House and Justice Department concurrence, danced around the rule of law in the name of expediting the hunt for al-Qaida and the terrorists.

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.
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).

Michael Hayden, the man who would lead the CIA, presumably will be sitting there soon, and as they wait, the shooters fiddle with their lenses and adjust their settings.
Hayden enters, which you know by the ritual sound - hundreds of fast clicks, joined in number every time someone steps up to grab his forearm and shake his hand.
Hayden answers measuredly: "Well, Senator, you're going to have to make a judgment on my character." Members of Congress should empathize how difficult it is to speak when much of what you know is classified, he adds.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, deputy director of national intelligence, said NSA eavesdropping was not "a drift net" ensnaring innocent international communications by ordinary Americans.
Hayden, who led the NSA when the domestic spying began in October 2001, told an audience at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., that the NSA "has neither the time, the resources nor the legal authority to read communications that aren't likely to protect us."

General Michael Hayden, the White House nominee to run the Central Intelligence Agency, will on Thursday be grilled by the Senate intelligence committee over his role managing two controversial National Security Agency spying programmes.
The air force general reportedly angered Mr Rumsfeld when he told Congress that control of the NSA should be given to the newly created office of director of national intelligence and not the Pentagon.
Facing the prospect of a very public grilling of Gen Hayden, the White House on Wednesday agreed to brief members of the House and Senate intelligence committees about its ?terrorist surveillance programme?.
