Syllabus (HB) - C2010:	History is written from the traces of the past, the artefacts of memory: archival documents, gossip, rumour, ancient maps and drawings, and media reports and contemporary narratives. We explore the complex relationships between memory and history, and the contestations that produce multiple narratives of the same event- conspiracy theories, convienient memories, plausible denial, the reinterpretation and revision of the evidence by new generations, and the repackaging of misinformation to look like fact.We consider why some accounts of the past are more plausible than others and what it takes to change a society's accepted version of what happened and why.
