History on Film / Film on History: A symposium with Robert Rosenstone
Sunday 10 October 2010 10am-4pm
The Boardroom, Gateway Building, St Andrews
Direct and challenging, Robert Rosenstone’s History on Film / Film on
History calls for a new concept of history as vision and for a new
historiography shaped by the poetics of film. Dedicated to challenging
traditional concepts of historical writing, Robert Rosenstone has
created a path-finding body of scholarship and has inspired a range of
new approaches to the historical film. In this symposium leading and
emerging scholars engage with Robert Rosenstone on the ways films make
meaning out of the ‘traces left to us from that vanished world’.
