Introduction: quo vadis, historiography?

Abstract

It’s a long time since History has become a scientific discipline. However, it’s evolution still transform nowadays such as any other social science; including, History aspires not only to describe observations, but it also tries to formulate generalizations applicable to the mayor observations possibles. In face of the challenge assumed by the Historian, we must consider the transmission of the information and the methodologies we have applied, as well as critical thinking where concerns also take forms. Due to that, as time goes by, a generational change is promoted that turns into new challenges for the historiography. In this monograph we expose the main challenges and approaches that arise from the new generations of Historians, such their interests and lines of research.
