Historia oral: ¿una historia popular?
Oral history: a popular history?
Abstract (en)
The article begins by recognizing the importance of claiming a popular history that enhances the role of the actors traditionally excluded, as opposed to conventional history of the elites. In this way, its main purpose is to reveal the political interests that under populist speeches, exaggerate oral testimonies to pass them as equivalent to history, to the detriment of the philosophies and theories that even with its shortcomings, have built the scientific nature of historiography.

El artículo empieza por reconocer la importancia de reivindicar una historia popular que revalorice el papel de los actores tradicionalmente excluidos —en oposición a la historia convencional de las élites—, por lo cual su propósito principal consiste en develar los intereses políticos que, bajo discursos populistas, sobredimensionan los testimonios orales para hacerlos pasar como equivalentes a la historia, en detrimento de las filosofías y teorías que, aun con sus deficiencias, han construido la cientificidad de la historiografía.
