Abstract

URREJOLA DAVANZO, Bernarda. Between Mysticysm and Historiography: The Lenguage of Absence in Michel de Certeau. Hist. graf [online]. 2010, n.35, pp.151-181. ISSN 1405-0927.

This article focuses on the possibilities of language to grasp reality, and also on the place of the historian in relation of the past he wants to study and understand. As happens with mystical language, that seeks to put into words an indescribable and unspeakable experience that exceeds the limits of reason, Michel de Certeau considers that historical writing also faces a radical separation between language and experience.

Keywords : Historiography; mysticism; language; absence; theory.
