	Historiography
		Historiography is the written record of what is known of human lives and societies in the past and how historians have attempted to understand them.
		Of all the fields of serious study and literary effort, history may be the hardest to define precisely, because the attempt to uncover past events and formulate an intelligible account of them necessarily involves the use and influence of many auxiliary disciplines and literary forms.
		Western historiography originated with the ancient Greeks, and the standards and interests of the Greek historians dominated historical study and writing for centuries.

	Marxist historiography
		The chief tenets of Marxist historiography are the centrality of social class and economic constraints in determining historical outcomes.
		The chief problematic aspect of Marxist historiography has been an argument on the nature of history as determined or dialectical; this can also be stated as the relative importance of subjective and objective factors in creating outcomes.
		Methods from Marxist historiography, such as class analysis, can be divorced from the liberatory intent of Marxist historiography; practitioners often refer to their techniques as marxian.

	Medieval Historiography: Dark Rooms and Dry Straw
		Tracing this thread back to the study of the historiography of the British Isles, there are rough parallels between it and the continental works produced during the period between the death of Charlemagne and the twelfth century.

	Juch’e in Korean Historiography - Чучхе в Северокорейской историографии
		The contribution of Korean Marxist historians to the development of left-wing nationalist historiography during the colonial period was denied, and the “old” Socio-economic school was not even mentioned.
		But the advent of Juch’e historiography as a unique scholarly phenomenon can be attributed simply to the practical necessity of the DPRK rulers to inculcate the populace with the “correct” perception of the national past.
		Should the Juch’e historiography of North Korea be officially recognized and embraced by the nationalistic tradition of history writing developed in South Korea, the result might be quite synergistic.
