Historia, narración y memoria: Los debates actuales en filosofía de la historia enters the public domain
María Inés Mudrovcic’s book Historia, narración y memoria. Los debates actuales en filosofía de la historia (2005) has just entered the public domain. The work is a reference for those who follow recent shifts in the philosophy of history: from the classical analytical focus to the issue of memory, articulating the tension between the rigor of historical knowledge and the ethical demand to remember.
Mapping the debates of recent decades, Mudrovcic demonstrates that the crisis of ‘grand narratives’ did not signify the end of history but repositioned the axis of reflection: what is essential becomes the study of forms of representation of the past. Narrativism, the Holocaust as a ‘limit’ to representation, the subjectivity of testimony, and the political function of remembering structure a discussion that recasts the past as a living issue—and the archive as part of an agenda for social justice—culminating in the proposal of a new historiographical ethics.
