Study Notes
Historical Approaches
- Two main approaches exist in history: diachronic and synchronic
- Diachronic approach: examines events through time, chronologically
- Synchronic approach: analyzes events at a specific point in time
- Diachronic: means "through time" or "across time", focusing on how events develop over time
- Synchronic: emphasizes a specific moment, a focused look at events happening at the same time
- Diachronic approach focuses on the chain of events, or the relationships between particular events
- Synchronic approach examines events in context of social, political, economic, psychological, security factors.
- Studying a historical event diachronically means looking at it across a period of time, identifying causes and consequences in order to understand the development of events
- Examples of diachronic study: The development of Sarekat Islam in Solo (1911-1920), The Diponegoro War (1825-1830), Indonesian Revolution (1945-1949), The Zionist Movement (1897-1948)
- Examples of synchronic study: The social, political, and economic impact of the G-30 S/PKI rebellion in 1965
Historical Concepts
- History involves change and continuity
- Change: events that introduce difference
- Continuity: links between past and present
- History's nature is a continuous chain of events
- Understanding events in their specific order and context allows one to evaluate historical changes in greater detail.
- Historical accounts are not just about listing events, but about how these events are connected to each other.
Historical Examples
- May 21, 1998, President Soeharto stepped down as President of Indonesia-marked the end of the New Order era and the beginning of the Reformation period.
- This event demonstrates the concept of historical continuity.
- Historical events help understand significant changes in the historical order and how these events are connected.
