La propuesta es profundizar en la historia y advertir la singularidad de lo ocurrido en 1989 desde la perspectiva contemporánea. Al mismo tiempo, se destaca el significado del cambio de época para las ciencias sociales, al propiciar la reconstrucción de sus concepciones teóricas. Se plantea que el giro de la historia permitió el despliegue de múltiples debates que han ido delineando nuestra perspectiva de los complejos problemas del mundo actual. Es a partir de 1989 que se hace posible comprender cuestiones fundamentales, entre ellas la importancia estratégica del pensamiento democrático en sus múltiples dimensiones. Este reconocimiento corresponde a las capacidades reflexivas de las ciencias sociales y es consonante con las de la cultura.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT This article is a reflection on the historical processes that converged during the fall of the Berlin Wall, particularly on the two paths taken by the totalitarian movement and their violence, which defined the course of the 20th century. It aims to examine the historical background leading to the events of 1989 and their singularity from a contemporary perspective. It also emphasizes the meaning of a change of epoch in the realm of social sciences owing to the subsequent reconstruction of its theoretical conceptions. Multiple discussions unfolded and greatly influenced our understanding of nowadays complex problems. 1989 was a critical moment that laid the foundation for understanding fundamental issues, such as the strategic importance of democratic thinking in its various dimensions.]]></p></abstract>
