Doing Recent History: On Privacy, Copyright, Video Games, Institutional Review Boards, Activist Scholarship, and History T (Since 1970: Histories of Contemporary America)
Product Description

Recent history—the very phrase seems like an oxymoron. Yet historians have been writing accounts of the recent past since printed history acquired a modern audience, and in the last several years interest in recent topics has grown exponentially. From Walmart to disco and from Chavez to Schlafly, books about the history of our own time have become arguably the most exciting and talked-about part of the discipline.

Despite this rich tradition and growing popularity, historians have engaged in little discussion about the specific methodological, political, and ethical issues related to writing about the recent past. The twelve essays in this collection explore the challenges of writing histories of recent events where visibility is inherently imperfect, hindsight and perspective are lacking, and historiography is underdeveloped.

Those who write about events that have taken place since 1970 encounter exciting challenges that are both familiar and foreign to scholars of a more distant past, including suspicions that their research is not historical enough, negotiation with living witnesses who have a very strong stake in their own representation, and the task of working with new electronic sources. Contributors to this collection consider a wide range of these challenges. They question how sources like television and video games can be better utilized in historical research, explore the role and regulation of doing oral histories, consider the ethics of writing about living subjects, discuss how historians can best navigate questions of privacy and copyright law, and imagine the possibilities that new technologies offer for creating transnational and translingual research opportunities. Doing Recent History offers guidance and insight to any researcher considering tackling the not-so-distant past.

Although the genre is a little stale and full of crappy titles, we still love survival horror games. That’s why we were excited for Amy, a game based on an interesting premise and a unique gameplay mechanic. But unfortunately, the game is, well, horrible. We think IGN editor Colin Moriarty puts it best when he says, “Rarely am i tasked in reviewing a game that makes me wanna throw my PS3 clear across the office, out the window, into the San Francisco streets below.”

Whether its the tiresome approach, confusing storyline, or dreadful gameplay, Amy fails to deliver. We suggest you stay as far away from the game as possible. If you are not a believer yet, check out the Review, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Avoid the contagion! Read our full review of Amy on IGN:
