Hayden originally coined the term as a rhetorical device in response to an essay by Robert Rosenstone in the same issue of ''AHR'' entitled "History in images/History in words: Reflections on the possibility of really putting history onto film". Hayden for the sake of exploring Rosenstone's premise (that history can be portrayed on film) created the term historiophoty as a description of the study of history through film. As a philosopher by trade and nature it can not be assumed that Hayden thought historiophoty was a real thing, but rather his essay was a thought experiment on what it would be like if in fact such a thing did exist, in effect taking Rosenstone's conclusions to the next level. Whatever Hayden's intention since the publication of his 1988 essay the word historiophoty has entered in to public and professional discourse. For example Brian Le Beau wrote "Historiography Meets Historiophoty: The Perils and Promise of Rendering the Past on Film" in ''American Studies'' Volume 38, no. 1 (Spring 1997) {Link without Title} . A book has been published titled ''History of Western Historiography, History of England, Historiophoty'' by Chou, Liang-kai. SOURCES
