Performances by Greg Dening
For Greg Dening, history saturates every moment of our cultural and personal existence. Throughout this text the author shows his awareness that the actual past remains fundamentally irreplicable. He asserts all histories to be culturally crafted artifacts, commensurate with folk tales, stage plays, or films. Whether derived from logbooks and letters, or displayed on music hall stages and Hollywood back lots, history is in essence our making sense of what has and continues to happen, creating for us a sense of our cultural and individual selves.
Greg Dening is Professor Emeritus at the University of Melbourne and Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research at the Australian National University. Among his works are The Death of William Gooch and Performances.
