description This article discusses the changes experienced by History as a discipline in Argentina during the last four decades, which were also the core years in the trajectory of the author of these pages as a historian. Rather than a systematic revision of the vast field of History during that period, the author offers an overview of the main tendencies of historiography in Argentina at a time of significant transformations in the local and global disciplinary trends. The article explores the changes and continuities in the dominant themes and perspectives and in the material and institutional conditions of historiographical production, and reflects on how they relate to the place that “doing History” occupies in contemporary societies.

Estas páginas proponen un ejercicio de reflexión sobre la Historia como disciplina en la Argentina de las últimas cuatro décadas, período que coincide con los años centrales de la trayectoria de su autora como historiadora. No se trata de una revisión sistemática de ese vastísimo terreno sino de una incursión personal con el propósito de explorar las principales tendencias de la historiografía en la Argentina en tiempos de importantes transformaciones en la dinámica local y global de la disciplina. El artículo se pregunta por los cambios experimentados en los temas y enfoques predominantes en ese campo de saber y por las condiciones materiales e institucionales de esa producción, así como por su relación con las variaciones en el lugar que ocupa el «hacer Historia» en la sociedad contemporánea.
