- 0:00hello good day guys now for today's
- 0:02video lecture i'll be discussing all
- 0:03about historical sources
- 0:05so let's get it started so here are the
- 0:09learning objectives for this
- 0:10lesson so first we have to define
- 0:12historiography
- 0:14second provide examples of primary and
- 0:16secondary sources
- 0:18third compare and contrast the kinds and
- 0:20types of historical sources
- 0:22and lastly evaluate historical sources
- 0:24now first things first we have to define
- 0:26what is historiography
- 0:27so when we talk about historiography
- 0:29this is a type of discipline or science
- 0:31nakai language
- 0:32is a subject matter so defining
- 0:34historiography it's basically the study
- 0:37of historical writing
- 0:38when we attempt to analyze or interpret
- 0:41historical texts
- 0:42or documents
- 0:45now uh we will be analyzing documents
- 0:48writings texts subjects no i don't know
- 0:51so we don't just expect
- 0:53or you know assumption not enough we
- 0:55will just memorize about dates
- 0:57it's too elementary so major higher
- 0:59level
- 1:01readings in philippine history so more
- 1:03likely we will be focusing on analysis
- 1:06and interpretation of text when speaking
- 1:08about text
- 1:09an object of analysis nothing would now
- 1:11be sources
- 1:12so we have a term which is now
- 1:14historical sources now
- 1:16to define sources sources
- 1:19are artifacts that have been left by the
- 1:21past so for instance
- 1:34so basically they are considered to be
- 1:36sources or in a format example would be
- 1:39old books books around 16th century yuma
- 1:43jars
- 1:44jars during your prehistoric philippines
- 1:48then your manga fossils could be
- 1:49considered to be sources or your
- 1:51treasures actually
- 1:52now there's a specific type of source
- 1:55called artifacts
- 1:56so when we talk about artifacts please
- 1:58take note that artifacts are created by
- 2:01humans usually for practical purposes
- 2:04now the difference between source and
- 2:06artifacts source major geneva
- 2:09while artifacts major specifications all
- 2:12artifacts are considered to be sources
- 2:14but not all sources are considered to be
- 2:16artifacts
- 2:18now to give an example would be fossils
- 2:20so dinosaur fossils
- 2:22so dinosaur fossils could be considered
- 2:24to be a source
- 2:25however in this apartment artifact hindi
- 2:28naman saginamit for
- 2:30human purpose or his for practical
- 2:32purpose
- 2:38[Music]
- 2:43between source and artifacts so
- 2:45artifacts
- 2:47and my certain purposes and sources is
- 2:50generally
- 2:51gabasha surpass now let's go to the
- 2:53types of sources
- 2:54so we have two types primary and
- 2:57secondary sources now please take
- 2:59note of these two terms
- 3:02survey readings in philippine history so
- 3:05to define primary
- 3:06primary source primary source is also
- 3:08known to be original
- 3:10source or evidence so fresh
- 3:14historians when we talk about primary
- 3:17source please
- 3:18take note of the term original and first
- 3:20hand
- 3:21so basically these are sources now that
- 3:24we wanted
- 3:25so basically the document don't subtitle
- 3:29nothing
- 3:29nice uh we will further understand
- 3:32primary source and secondary source
- 3:34example so definition and when we talk
- 3:38about secondary source
- 3:40so it is built upon primary source
- 3:42please take note build upon primary
- 3:44source
- 3:45so basically it's a tagalog
- 3:48and probably my possible distortion so
- 3:52tandem
- 3:52primary source original secondary source
- 3:55built upon
- 3:56primary or original sources now to give
- 3:59an example
- 4:00example nothing would now be the
- 4:02experiences of world war two veterans
- 4:11so we have a diagram dito and more
- 4:14likely we look into the stories
- 4:18of veterans
- 4:21or directed sahanila it is considered to
- 4:23be primary source
- 4:24because they experience
- 4:31through direct narrations from the
- 4:33veterans or they recorded their
- 4:36experiences through diaries or published
- 4:38it through novels
- 4:39now instances
- 4:53it now becomes secondary sources
- 4:58original so secondary sources petting
- 5:01narration
- 5:03not the exact town and they could not
- 5:06create documentaries or example of
- 5:08secondary sources would not be
- 5:10documentaries or translation of written
- 5:12texts
- 5:12so indiana legit
- 5:14[Music]
- 5:16for instance okay now to further
- 5:19understand
- 5:20more about primary and secondary sources
- 5:23we look into
- 5:24one book in the bible which is the book
- 5:26of genesis however my question mark you
- 5:28know
- 5:28because a lot of scholars debated and it
- 5:31has already been debunked by the vatican
- 5:33that the book of genesis is a creation
- 5:35myth
- 5:35so indeed historically accurate
- 5:39however for the sake of distinguishing
- 5:41primary and secondary sources
- 5:45and the assumed author was moses
- 5:47principally in theology and author
- 5:49donald genesis i see moses okay
- 5:52now looking into the timeline on the
- 5:54book of genesis at the end timeline
- 5:55though
- 5:56so queen into your creation story adam
- 5:58and eve
- 6:00from noah from the tower of babel
- 6:03abraham genealogy then coming to
- 6:07the life of moses now assuming that the
- 6:09author is moses
- 6:11so lahat narration from egypt up to
- 6:14exodus
- 6:15excessive moses is considered to be
- 6:18primary
- 6:19because moses actually lived during
- 6:21those times of event
- 6:22now from creation
- 6:26up to abraham genealogy is considered to
- 6:29be secondary sources
- 6:30now tendency navigate moses or
- 6:47then a third example would now be jose
- 6:50so jose rizal wrote a lot of documents
- 6:54so he wrote the diary essays
- 6:58novels the news articles
- 7:16to know his life and writings so the
- 7:19academ or scholars or historians created
- 7:21books about rizal
- 7:23books so technically
- 7:27secondary so i hope
- 7:30medjool not distinguished resource and
- 7:34secondary source
- 7:35now moving forward we have the kinds of
- 7:38sources so there are two kinds
- 7:40wherein we have remains and testimonies
- 7:47so remains could be classified as well
- 7:49or termed as
- 7:51relics so relic standard nothing guys
- 7:54relics object stone so tangible objects
- 7:57tangible artifacts
- 7:59now when it comes to testimonies and
- 8:01testimonies
- 8:02it could be tangible or intangible
- 8:06so it'll more likely objection and
- 8:08please take note
- 8:10relics are the dominant objects that are
- 8:12being analyzed by archaeologists
- 8:14now so when we talk about archaeology uh
- 8:17if you know indiana jones
- 8:18i hope you're watching janna jones for
- 8:20those who who like controversies
- 8:23and action movies
- 8:30however treasure hunting and archaeology
- 8:32may
- 8:33similarities they look for material
- 8:35remains
- 8:36from the past artifacts however the
- 8:39difference between a treasure hunter and
- 8:41an archaeologist a treasure hunter
- 8:43is somehow looting in hanapini for
- 8:45manitoba value
- 8:46on the other hand an archaeology
- 8:48basically looks into the value of
- 8:50the relic so talking about relic on your
- 8:53origin and in purpose
- 8:56discover yeah now to give an example all
- 8:59about relics and remin
- 9:00uh we have human fossils in the
- 9:02philippines
- 9:04so um analyze would be prehistoric
- 9:06philippines
- 9:08now lately not bloom young philippine
- 9:10archaeology
- 9:11because of certain findings of pilipinas
- 9:14and it could alter philippine history
- 9:17why because
- 9:18dominant approach or in dominant theory
- 9:20when it comes to prehistoric philippines
- 9:22is young few theory on migration
- 9:26if you have an idea all about the theory
- 9:28on migration principles and
- 9:30outlay bayer so you see outlay bayer
- 9:32basically is
- 9:33your ancestor in wha were my grants
- 9:37so speaking about migrants my tatlong
- 9:39waves negrito
- 9:41indones then malays at union again
- 9:43dominant approach
- 9:45textbooks however looking into this
- 9:49discoveries it could alter the theory on
- 9:51migration
- 9:52and it could alter philippine history
- 9:54panel to give you a timeline
- 9:58sorry to give you a timeline muna okay
- 10:01uh the first famous discovery was around
- 10:04the year 1999 so
- 10:05on the tab on cave they have discovered
- 10:08the tabon man
- 10:10so it is part of a skull then some jaw
- 10:14then when they carbon dated it
- 10:26theory of migration and that could that
- 10:29could now support jungle and bridge
- 10:30theory now that
- 10:32the philippines has a connection to
- 10:33mainland asia
- 10:36now a further discovery was around 2003
- 10:40now
- 10:40so sakala cave
- 10:44and when the carbon dated kalama the
- 10:46malabasa around 67
- 10:48000 years not existing and around 2018
- 10:52forensic archaeologists or simply
- 10:54scientists
- 10:56discovered or declared that the kaloman
- 10:58fossil
- 10:59is a new human species and they have
- 11:02named it as homo luzonensis
- 11:04[Music]
- 11:06so these are part of the phalanges in
- 11:09science or in biology phalanges
- 11:11are basically bone snappings of feet
- 11:17and a recent discovery around 2017
- 11:21they have now discovered some rhino
- 11:23fossils now when they carbon dated those
- 11:26rhino
- 11:27fossils around seven hundred nine
- 11:29thousand years
- 11:30existing right now certain actual
- 11:33pictures
- 11:34so this is a femur bone now
- 11:37prehistoric philippines especially when
- 11:40we are talking about human fossil hindi
- 11:42and human fossil and more likely hindi
- 11:44should happen under history although
- 11:46it's still part of history better it's
- 11:48more on
- 11:49towards biology or paleontology to be
- 11:52accepted
- 11:54now human forensics and archaeology
- 11:57forensic archaeologists by the way
- 11:59when they analyze the fossils cracks
- 12:02so i hope not a new mouse
- 12:06now looking into the cracks and inside
- 12:09the cracks
- 12:10probably script yana they want to get
- 12:13the bone marrow
- 12:14so my assumptions that no cause of death
- 12:18known right
- 12:18would not be because it was hunt
- 12:22it is used for eating in chando they
- 12:24were assuming looking into the cracks
- 12:26independent of india govern any animals
- 12:30because they may force naginava in order
- 12:31to create those scrap
- 12:33and and extract the bone marrow so
- 12:36too much force hindishaka and any animal
- 12:39map
- 12:39saber tiger for instance i do not know
- 12:42however
- 12:43on one speculation and it's a very high
- 12:47speculation hypothesis rather is that um
- 12:51cosmo crap would not be because of tools
- 12:54and the only creature in the game
- 12:56non-tools would not be the human
- 12:58creature
- 12:59so when we covered it
- 13:02the cause of death of the rhino is
- 13:04because of a human person
- 13:06and look into the existence seven
- 13:08hundred nine thousand years
- 13:10so there's a possibility manga town
- 13:12additional filipinos around seven
- 13:14hundred
- 13:15nine thousand years and if that is well
- 13:18proven
- 13:18automatically it could change now you
- 13:20alternate it could now
- 13:21change you know shanatan all about
- 13:24philippine history
- 13:25so hindi natalya migrants but during
- 13:27those times
- 13:33so that is relic now second would now be
- 13:36in terms of testimonies
- 13:40so in terms of testimonies so in
- 13:42difference
- 13:44when it comes to relics or remains
- 13:45testimonies could be tangible or
- 13:47intangible
- 13:48why because these are oral or written
- 13:50reports
- 13:51so looking into relics or remains
- 13:55one possible or accurate message
- 13:58unlike with testimonies testimony is my
- 14:00message
- 14:03would not be speeches of iconic figures
- 14:08or even diaries from your parents yeah
- 14:11could be considered to be testimonies
- 14:13then we have cordelia chance
- 14:20so the elders basically memorize
- 14:23all the cordelia epic chances
- 14:27so for instance we have the hood so this
- 14:29is an ifo gauchan
- 14:31so ali guyon is an ifugao warrior so
- 14:37so unimage testimony
- 14:40now there's another type of
- 14:42classification called purpose
- 14:44of sources so basically there are two
- 14:47purposes of sources we have
- 14:48intentional then unintentional
- 14:52so looking into the terms major
- 14:54similarity channel
- 14:55major obvious actually so when we talk
- 14:58about intentional sources so intended
- 15:00shuttle document history
- 15:03so intended to document history while
- 15:05unintentional basically huala silang
- 15:08well as an intention nila that they will
- 15:10be documenting history or
- 15:12the lives of another person however
- 15:14latently
- 15:15my message done that would now tell us
- 15:17about the event during those time
- 15:20now to further understand those these
- 15:23two
- 15:23may provide some examples so intentional
- 15:26for for instance we have the film of
- 15:28president john f kennedy's assassination
- 15:30so in film you know
- 15:35he is intended his my intention
- 15:42so that is intentional or we have
- 15:44biographies
- 15:46novels nothing or diaries so see one
- 15:49point
- 15:50so the immortal guy so more likely
- 15:53intentional
- 15:54document experience history
- 15:58while on the other hand when we talk
- 16:00about unintentional for instance we have
- 16:02memories
- 16:02memos of japanese soldiers in iwo jima
- 16:05and exactly
- 16:06a new of japanese soldiers or letters
- 16:11from iwo jima sorry this should be
- 16:13letters from iwo jima
- 16:14so um letters actually serves
- 16:18like a communication so they want to
- 16:20communicate their family in mainland
- 16:22japan however history
- 16:26when they covered it up experiences
- 16:32so original intentional memories of
- 16:34japanese soldiers in iwo jima is
- 16:36basically for communication and not for
- 16:38history
- 16:39and similar to the second example
- 16:41screenshots of an fb conversation
- 16:43so a main intentional man is for the
- 16:46sake of communication
- 16:48however those screenshots would now
- 16:50become history in the sense
- 17:03okay so basically number two it's more
- 17:04likely communication private now becomes
- 17:06a historical piece or source
- 17:09now moving forward we have typology so
- 17:11this is another classification so major
- 17:13matami terminologists know
- 17:15so we have written and written then
- 17:18technological innovation
- 17:21so underwritten right away
- 17:25so written classification
- 17:29the technological innovation around five
- 17:32so when we talk about treating
- 17:37then already to present the first two we
- 17:40have narrative
- 17:41and we have diplomatic sources now key
- 17:44terms so when we talk about narrative or
- 17:47literary
- 17:49innovative form obviously however they
- 17:51want to
- 17:52deliver a certain message now those
- 17:55certain message is in the form of ego
- 17:57documents
- 17:58so nanjang document
- 18:01so you're documenting about certain
- 18:03about an individual for instance
- 18:07now remember the note remember that
- 18:11so for instance scientific tracks use
- 18:14articles
- 18:14diaries novels or film then your
- 18:17biography
- 18:19biography novel my perception of author
- 18:22or a certain person so your new
- 18:25narrative no
- 18:26okay now second so going back
- 18:30narrative narrative from its term
- 18:33navigator then the second would not be
- 18:35in terms of diplomatic sources
- 18:37when we talk about diplomatic sources
- 18:39key term style
- 18:41diplomatic sources are considered to be
- 18:43the legitimate sources
- 18:45so they are legit they're authoritative
- 18:48they're they are authentic or in
- 18:50historians
- 18:51they stated it the diplomatic sources
- 18:53are the best sources
- 18:57difference between narrative and
- 18:58diplomatic narrative
- 19:00everybody could just navigate a story
- 19:03but that is a diplomatic sources
- 19:05diplomatic my authentication yen
- 19:07it's a legal document so my
- 19:09authentication
- 19:10my signature my stump my seal and that
- 19:13is a diplomatic source
- 19:16let's look into the parts of a
- 19:17diplomatic source
- 19:19so more likely imagine a legal paper or
- 19:22a formal paper metal partition
- 19:24protocol is basically the introduction
- 19:27when we go to the content
- 19:29body at your closing that is now the
- 19:32essential part of your diplomatic source
- 19:37authenticating formulas an example of
- 19:39your authenticating formulas would not
- 19:41be a
- 19:42signature would be a signature probably
- 19:44coming from an authoritative
- 19:46position president or a lawyer
- 19:49that was aside from signature myself my
- 19:52stump
- 19:53what else basically gonna know
- 19:56mathematicity
- 19:57so union diplomatic source
- 20:01now the third type of written source
- 20:04will now be social documents so social
- 20:06documents gowash and institutions
- 20:08so for instance would not be government
- 20:10institutions churches and schools
- 20:15diplomatic sources now social documents
- 20:18don't have
- 20:18authentication
- 20:33now so again difference between
- 20:35diplomatic source
- 20:37and social documents social documents
- 20:39when authentication
- 20:40while diplomatic source my
- 20:42authentication
- 20:44now the second source typology will now
- 20:48be unwritten source says our documents
- 20:53so major similar shadows
- 20:58versus testimonies okay archaeological
- 21:01evidence
- 21:02very similar sha actually when it comes
- 21:05to relic and remains
- 21:07so only tinker discovered
- 21:18those are considered to be
- 21:19archaeological evidences well all the
- 21:21evidence is standard
- 21:22in very similar testimonies so interview
- 21:26patcha
- 21:26or for instance speech or young chad
- 21:28snapped in
- 21:30so quite similar subtypes actually so
- 21:34relics and remains
- 21:36then third among the source typology
- 21:39would now be
- 21:41it will now be technological innovation
- 21:44so when we talk about technological
- 21:45innovation so
- 21:46gamma nanak new modern technologies from
- 21:49your photography and film
- 21:51sound recordings radio television
- 21:54computer
- 21:55and presently your internet so these are
- 21:57now source when it comes to
- 21:59history and lastly we have evaluating
- 22:03sources
- 22:04so this is now one of the main parts of
- 22:06readings in philippine history because
- 22:08we are attempting to
- 22:09analyze and critique and in the same
- 22:12time
- 22:12interpret historical sources so there
- 22:15are two types
- 22:16external and internal criticism
- 22:24so our task in readings in philippine
- 22:26history
- 22:27is to critique analyze yuma sources now
- 22:30then
- 22:30so we have external criticism or we have
- 22:33this term called context analysis this
- 22:35is a common term
- 22:36context analysis then we have internal
- 22:39criticism
- 22:40wherein it is also called as content
- 22:42analysis
- 22:44now when we talk about external
- 22:46criticism guys
- 22:47you question nothing is it authentic
- 22:50genuine or is it legit
- 22:52no may not discover
- 23:36[Music]
- 23:42you will now go to the next which is now
- 23:44internal criticism or content analysis
- 23:47now for instance when it comes to when
- 23:49it comes to
- 23:50gold inscription
- 23:55or when it comes to letter simply when
- 23:57it comes to letter for instance
- 24:00what does it say what does it mean what
- 24:02does it
- 24:22let's now go to the second criticism
- 24:24which is now internal or content
- 24:30analysis
- 24:32i hope medina gets nothing new external
- 24:34and internal with the season
- 24:36page hindi nuggets we have the modules
- 24:38so please read on them but i hope
- 24:42so thank you uh once again then
- 24:46god bless then always take care always
- 24:48take care
