The history I am interested in is how the contemporary individual, family, community and government talk, interpret and utilize the past in order to construct the present. In other words, I am interested in how the past is told and retold in different periods and by different groups, how reality is chosen and forgotten in the process of reconstructing the past, how fiction is historicized and how past events are fabricated. I am interested in how voices are controlled, who controls them and where we can find the lives and ways of living of those individuals and groups of people whose voices are forgotten or not heard. Perhaps the history I am pursuing is the self-reflexive I who is being molded and remolded through the process of thinking and learning.
