TOBENA, Verónica. Argentine history on the dock. About political uses of the past and historicality regimes. Estud. sociol [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.97, pp.89-119. ISSN 2448-6442.

The article focused on two historiographic models that are on the basis of the controversy about the argentine history, when at the end of the 2001 crisis a set of books about his past, whose authors present marginal backgrounds or outside the academic world and the historiography that endorse as historians, mediate the recovery of public interest in the past, leading to what some interpreted as “a boom in history”. The paper provides arguments for understand the uneven answers that public gives to amateurs and professional of the History and from the analysis suggests that both fees are not set up as opposites because they differ only in rhetorical, format and/or methodological aspects, but there are also traditions that each of them are debtors and images of history guide that work for them, explaining the differences between the two conceptions of how to do history.

Keywords : argentine history; professional historians; historiographical best sellers; historiographical traditions; historicality regimes.
