MEMORY AND ORAL HISTORY IN CONTEMPORANEITY AND ITS USES FOR THE PRESENT TIME HISTORY

In order that we can develop a compelling reflection on the history of the present and the academic production directed by this, we must necessarily located in from of the historical contexts in which history torned his eyes for recent history, arising from the emergence of social demands from the Post-World War Second. Then deal about the roles of memory and oral history, to the extent that they are assigned new goals and new approaches within the context of contemporaneity. We also think about the development of contemporary historiography, in which the history of the present is located, such as the memory usage, as the object of study of this field, and in the configuration of a specific method for the analysis of this object, captured in the form of orality. Thus, the historical production built by and for the present time exhibit specificities, while that is not far from other historical fields.
