Abstract
This contribution carries out a diagnosis of the current state of historiography through an analysis of some recent debates and current thematic and methodological approaches. On the one hand, the diagnosis deals with an attempt of a group of historians to establish a poorly defined “new” and “critical” history as the only correct historiography, rejecting other ways of doing history. The notorious historiographic debates that took place between 2013 and 2017 show underlying tensions and an intolerant work climate. On the other hand, a great variety of approaches, themes and methodologies can be found in recent publications, a trend that is, in part, due to the “spatial turn”. Rather than deciding who is right or advocating for a particular direction, the aim of this text is to trigger a more constructive dialogue about historiography and a reflection on how to address diversity.
