1. Historical concepts and time

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Humans as historical actors: In history, humans are the subjects who cause events, so what people do is what historians study.
  • Concept of space in history: In history, each past event happens within a specific place, and space helps confirm the event is real.
  • Concept of time in history: In history, time marks when events occurred and includes past, present, and future as time flows.
  • Kronologis thinking: Chronological thinking is organizing events in order according to when they happened.

Essential Points

  • History is linked to the Arabic word Syajaratun meaning tree, and to History meaning past, and to Historia meaning knowledge or a learned person.
  • In the KBBI, history can mean lineage, a truly happened past event, or knowledge/description of such past events.
  • Diakronik thinking focuses on time and periods, while Sinkronik thinking focuses on patterns, phenomena, and characteristics.

Memory Hook

Diakronik sounds like “dia-chronos” (through time) and Sinkronik sounds like “syn-chronos” (with time, spread in space).
