Abstract

GRONDONA, Ana. Historia del presente: hacer bizarro lo evidente. Sociohistórica [online]. 2021, n.47, pp.129-129. ISSN 1852-1606.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18521606e129.

The paper reflects upon the use of history within a genealogy of the present. To do this, it is organized into three sections. In the first place, we propose some considerations on the ways in which this perspective understands temporality; Secondly, taking up some questions related to the issue of "translation" and "circulation", we look into the ways in which it deals with the spatial dimension; finally, the paper elaborates on the history of the present as a form of criticism and its validation criteria. Throughout the text, and in order to illustrate or clarify some conceptual aspects, we present examples from previous investigations that, inspired by the history of the present, studied the problem of poverty in the expert discourse, on the one hand, and of the racial question in the Argentine sociological discourse, on the other.

Keywords : Genealogy; Critique; South; Temporalities.
