Abstract
ZEMELMAN MERINO, Hugo. THOUGHT AND CONSTRUCTION OF HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE, A REQUIREMENT TO CONSTRUCT THE FUTURE. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.2, pp.343-362. ISSN 1657-8031.
A marked trend in Latin America has been the one of constructing knowledge on the premise of the historical development with a more or less precise, emancipatory, and valued direction. But the twentieth century gave us a capricious, uncertain, highly indeterminate, and unsecured history. In this sense, rather than a pessimistic understanding, the history of the twentieth century requires embodying substantive challenges. We face enormous demands in regards to developing our ability to think as Latin Americans; and this relates to the formation of subjects able to see and to think new and viable realities, which is essential to rethink the ways to construct knowledge; understanding that this should be historical in nature rather than theoretical in the face to expand limits as possible, in perspective for the future.
Keywords : Historical knowledge; historiced subject; memory and future; reality; wholeness and articulation; utopia and transdisciplinarity; training of subjects.
