(Preliminary) ideas about recent history

In this work I will approach some distinctive features of << recent history >> by beginning with the critiques that it has faced in debates taking place in Argentina in recent years. Despite such critiques, its practitioners have firmly established its legitimacy. What is more, the debates have provoked historians to rethink various points of view and to adopt historical and conceptual perspectives on the nature of historiography itself. Indeed, the practice of << recent history >> throws into question the spaces where a legitimate historical knowledge is constructed and the relationship between history and politics.
