We are pleased, once again, to invite researchers from all over the world to follow the Road to Santiago in this Jubilar Year to debate the state of History at the threshold a new millenium.
The first edition of ‘History under Debate' (1993) focused on the fall of the Berlin Wall and the proclamation of the end of History. At the time of this second conference of History under Debate, and despite the short lapse of time since our last conference, we are living through a return to History, a history with renewed values of humanity and peace, of justice and solidarity, both global and social. And is it not true that when history changes, its writing changes as well?
We wish to bring up to date reflections and debates on methodology and epistemology of History, to further new research approaches, to help shape historiography as an increasingly important field of study, to fight the fragmentation of our discipline, to promote the globalisation of the history being written . . .
It is our aim, above all, to go beyond the ‘crisis of history' by encouraging alternatives, opening new paradigms or consensus to direct the historian through the new century, something which will only be possible if, at the same time, we meet society once again, somehow taking upon our shoulders the responsibility of History before the problems of a changing world, beginning with our problems as researchers and history teachers.
