| Dear colleague, from Costa Rica, I
include/understand the wide-awake mind of its students, because
at some moments; those, asiagos of our existence, until us, or
in my tactical mission, loving, and defender of the historical
discipline, we have become, resemblance asks. It is the
historical discipline, of the detentadores of the power in each
stage of the historical development? If the answer is
affirmative, this sure to those who the study of the history,
because in the end it would be, of the detentadores of the power
must interest them in first instance to continue showing it in
each stage.
If it is tried to transform the power, it is also logical, because the study of history is due to teach and to undertake, by the social actors, who try that change. This takes us situation to another, indeed, learning or to teach the historical discipline, for which we called in my country the "historical chismografía", indeed, from my point of view, is task of midwives, more not of social scientists. We also entered other fields, lamentable, but real, at least in the country like ours, and it also seems to me, that in the case of history, it is applied, in other latitudes, the one of history like cenicienta of social sciences. Bond to say, that for many students, and professional already even graduated, the education and the development of the discipline, do not give to live, we do not say to live well, but simply, to live decorosamente. From this point of view, in a world globalizado, and neoliberal, indeed, our young people, and one or two adult, logically ask themselves, so that to study history; no longer single by the learning, methodologic theoretician of the discipline, but also because in the end he will not allow to be developed them in the professional and merely econónico plane. That is to say, the students say, history does not pay... But there is something is happyly certain, independently, of whom, it reviews history, history is necessary. Or, it tell me who wants to learn history, and I will say to him if it agrees to him. In summary, history is not for all. Ricardo Herrera Blanco

Estimado colega, desde Costa Rica, comprendo la mente
despierta de sus estudiantes, pues en algunos momentos; esos,
asiagos de nuestra existencia, hasta nosotros, o en mi caso
concreto, amante, y defensor de la disciplina histórica, nos
hemos hecho, semejante pregunta. ¿Es la disciplina histórica,
de los detentadores del poder en cada etapa del desarrollo
histórico? Si la respuesta es afirmativa, esta claro, a quienes
les debe interesar en primera instancia el estudio de la
historia, pues a la postre sería, de los detentadores del poder
para seguir ostentándolo en cada etapa. Ricardo Herrera Blanco

Besides to lament as much loss of so many people and the consequent familiar tragedies and the great pain by the situation, me one to the call that does to us please in the Striking Library so damaged by the last earthquake.

Para Fina Viegas Además de lamentar tanta pérdida de tantas personas y las consiguientes tragedias familiares y el gran dolor por la situación, me uno a la llamada que nos hace en favor de la Biblioteca Gallardo tan dañada por el último terremoto. Si se emprendiera alguna acción específica, le ruego nos lo comunique para tratar de ver cómo se puede ayudar. Quizá podría solictarse la ayuda del ICI materializada, por ejemplo, en Becas para estudiantes que ayuden en la recuperación de esos fondos históricos. En este abrazo que le envio, va el que mando a todas las personas que están sufriendo de tantas maneras en estos días en su país. Mercedes Samaniego Immediate History/History under Debate |
