Resumen
Descripción
Desde el principio hay que aclarar que el trabajo no pretende cerrar un tema, sino simplemente presentar algunas dudas, algunas interrogantes a un objeto de estudio (la historia reciente) que desde la asunción al gobierno del Frente Amplio en marzo de 2005 ha cobrado nuevo impulso a nivel de la sociedad y por tanto a nivel de la academia. Previamente a trabajar sobre el tema de la historia reciente, se hará una recorrida por algunas concepciones que nos aproximarán a lo qué es la ciencia; qué se entiende por ella; y a la relación que existe entre la ciencia y la sociedad; entre la ciencia y la política. Al decir de Bourdieu se reflexionará sobre lo simbólico y las luchas entre las diferentes fuerzas que pugnan por imponer su mirada. Luego se pasará a trabajar el tema de la historia reciente en el Uruguay. Allí el trabajo tendrá algunas preguntas guías. Estas preguntas serán las siguientes: ¿el conocimiento del pasado reciente está limitado por problemas o cuestiones sociales (económicos, políticos, miedos, etc.)?; ¿el discurso sobre la historia reciente de algunos sectores políticos está más presente en la sociedad que los discursos producidos por los cientistas sociales?; ¿qué papel juegan estos científicos en torno a la vida presente del país y a la memoria colectiva de nuestra sociedad? A través de estas preguntas se intentará reflexionar, desnaturalizar y problematizar la producción historiográfica sobre el pasado reciente de nuestro país y en cómo se vinculan estos temas con el presente.
First of all it must be clarified that this work does not intend to close an issue, but simply to present some questions, some grey areas about an object of study (recent history) which has acquired new momentum in society and therefore in academia, since the Frente Amplio took office in the government in March 2005. Before working on the subject of recent history, we will revisit some concepts to offer an approximation to what is science, what is meant by it, and the relationship between science and society and between science and politics. In the words of Bourdieu, we will reflect on the symbolic and on the struggles between the different forces that attempt to impose their views. Then we will start the work on the issue of recent history in Uruguay. For that purpose, our work will have some guiding questions. These questions are as follows: Is the knowledge of the recent past limited by problems or social issues (whether economic or political, or fears, etc.); is the discourse about the recent history of some political sectors more present in society that the discourses produced by social scientists?; what role do these scientists play around the present life of the country and the collective memory of our society? Through these questions, we will try to reflect on, denaturalize and problematize the historiographical production about the recent past of our country and about how these issues relate to the present.
