1. The writing of history is in no way facts, but a matter of interpretations. All historical analyses are subjective. Culture influences us.
2. All historical accounts are 'narratives' that can be analyzed just as literary critics do with all other narratives.
3. History is neither linear nor progressive
4. 'Power' is not confirmed to a single level of society. Rather it circulates within a culture.
5. There is no monolithic/universal spirit of an age, and there is no total, absolute
explanation of history. Historical discourses are unstable and dynamic.
6. The relationship between individual identity and culture is mutual. One is shaped by
culture, and one too shapes and changes it.
