 White, AHR Forum: Historiography and Historiophoty
The first is that of the relative adequacy of what we might call "historiophoty" (the representation of history and our thought about it in visual images and filmic discourse) to the criteria of truth and accuracy presumed to govern the professional practice of historiography (the representation of history in verbal images and written discourse).
It is obvious that cinema (and video) are better suited than written discourse to the actual representation of certain kinds of historical phenomena--landscape, scene, atmosphere, complex events such as wars, battles, crowds, and emotions.
He indicates that many of the problems posed by the effort to "put history onto film" stem from the notion that the principal task is to translate what is already a written discourse into an imagistic one.

While publicity for the film (and its opening sequence) indicate its ambition to be taken seriously as a work of ‘historiophoty’ (Hayden White’s term for history told in film), a closer look at the diegesis reveals that besides material from Plutarch and Arrian, a major source is the often fantastical Alexander Romance.
The film’s equal treatment of these sources undermines its claims as a serious attempt to produce a credible historiophotic account of this exceptional figure.
This paper will consider some of the influences (both ancient and modern) that inspired this cinematic retelling of the life of Alexander.

 Essay Info :: What Does Film Tell Us About History
Historiophoty which is the representation of history in visual images and filmic discourse is one of these highly debated approaches and historians today still remain divided over the use of use of film as a valuable representation of history versus written history.
I will attempt to very briefly touch upon these arguments, and demonstrate why that despite the shortcomings of historiophoty, film as a historical source cannot be ignored in a society that is becoming increasingly media orientated and that there are aspects in the study of history through film which cannot be represented by written history.
Throughout the course of this essay, I will mainly be drawing references to Braveheart and Gallipoli.

 Studi Galileiani
I was able to locate a copy of the paper by Hayden White on Historiography and Historiophoty that had been the subject of some discussion in The Academy.
In it, White considered the role of historiophoty; that is, the “representation of history and our thought about it in visual images and filmic discourse”.
Since he also covers some of the issues I have been remarking on here lately, it might be interesting to quote a portion of the essay:

 Early Modern Resources » Historians and Historical Film
Indeed, I feel that commercial filmmakers frequently underestimate their audiences, and in shackling themselves to conventions, frustratingly miss opportunities to tell much richer stories; but, that, after all, is not confined simply to historical film.
The ‘languages’ of ‘historiography’; and ‘historiophoty’ (to use Hayden White’s term) [6] may differ, but the principles behind learning to ‘read’ them are in many ways the same.
From the historian and teacher’s point of view, it is crucial to stimulate critical viewing practices: most of all, perhaps, with those films that make the most explicit claims to offer the truth.

 arthritis pain relief - Historiography and Historiophoty
You'll find your answers to Arthritis and other common forms of pain here.
Historiography and Historiophoty is the name of an essay by historical philosopher Hayden White first published in 1988 in The American Historical Review.
As a philosopher by trade and nature it can not be assumed that Hayden thought historiophoty was a real thing, but rather his essay was a thought experiment on what it would be like if in fact such a thing did exist, in effect taking Rosenthals conclusions to the next level.

 "This story, shall the good man teach his son": History and Femininity in François Bourgeon's Les ...
The political significance of these alternative versions of the past has been revealed in particular by historical movies, at least those that do not totally obey market-oriented restrictions.
In his essay on the significance of "historiophoty" and its relation to historiography, Hayden White in this sense draws the attention towards feminist filmmaking, which has not only accurately pictured the lives of women in the past, but also increased the awareness of the dominantly patriarchal character of conventional historical representation (1988, 1199).
It may seem somewhat far fetched to associate François Bourgeon's Les compagnons du crépuscule with the writing strategies of a handful of postmodern authors or even more with the subversive potential of avantgarde feminist historical films.
