Extract
Discovery of historical knowledge or disclosure of historical truth are no longer tenable research objectives, while speculation as to the conditions which enable forms of knowledge and truth to be constituted is conceivably a legitimate practice. Nor can there be the unveiling of a definitive version of past events, but rather, the mapping of a multiplicity of authorial voices through the deployment of interpretive strategies which acknowledge that all writing is situated (Adshead-Lansdale 1996; Buckland 1996 on Franko).
