History under Debate, a global paradigm for the writing of history

Abstract

Written version of Carlos Barros’ conference, held during the 3rd International Congress “Historiaa Debate” (Santiago de Compostela, 14th-18th July 2004). The conference is about the international development of the Historia a Debate’s network, whose roots are in 1993(1st Congress) and 1999 (in Internet), when the digital community was founded. The Historia a Debate network is a global historiographical trend, resulted from a Latin, European and American initiative, compared to the related official experience of the International Comission of Historical Sciences, at one side, and also newly initiatives by the north-american historiography, on the other.
