1. HuD. Immediate History 1

(10/5/01)


Dear friends.

I have read the reflections of Ignacio Telesca and wanted to add mine on the subject of immediate history and its possibility. The "fact" that always worries to the Historians in the world cultural partner (With all the coarseness that it includes/understands) has behind himself, in the time and the space, the roots of its causes. What it is not rebelled to us in the present, are the effects that it will generate and the directions that these effects will take. The doubt on the affirmation that arises to me then the product of the study in Immediate History, is or is not finished. Nevertheless I believe that the historian can make great contributions in the registry of the present one for his later study. And but important still, it can give light for later interpretations, from its work of analysis in the present, to offer to the future not only ideas, vague and dispersed, but complete evidences but. All this always under the warning of which our work does not count on the elements to emit conclusions. Of if this is to make or nonhistory, it as opposed to does not have greater importance seriousness of showing the limitation of our reaches.

Hola amigos.

He leído las reflexiones de Ignacio Telesca y quisiera agregar las mías sobre el tema de la historia inmediata y su posibilidad. El "hecho" que preocupa a los Historiadores en el mundo socio cultural ( Con toda la bastedad que ello comprende) siempre tiene trás de sí, en el tiempo y el espacio, las raíces de sus causas. Lo que no se nos rebela en el presente, son los efectos que generará y las direcciones que estos efectos tomarán. Me surge entonces la duda sobre la afirmación de que el producto del estudio en la Historia Inmediata, esté o no esté acabado. Sin embargo creo que el historiador puede realizar grandes aportes en el registro del presente para su posterior estudio. Y mas importante aún, puede dar luz para posteriores interpretaciones, desde su labor de análisis en el presente, para ofrecer al futuro no sólo ideas, vagas y dispersas, sino evidencias mas completas. Todo esto siempre bajo la advertencia de que nuestro trabajo no cuenta con los elementos para emitir conclusiones.

De si esto es hacer o no historia, no tiene mayor importancia frente a la seriedad de mostrar la limitación de nuestros alcances.

Saludos a todos
