CONSIDERACIONES EN TORNO A LA BIOGRAFÍA Y LA TRANSICIÓN DEMOCRÁTICA: UN BALANCE HISTORIOGRÁFICO. (Spanish)

CONSIDERATIONS AROUND THE BIOGRAPHY AND THE DEMOCRATIC TRANSITION: A HISTORIOGRAPHIC BALANCE. (English)

Biography and history have always had a complex relationship. This has been revealed especially difficult in studies on the Spanish transition, with a complicated and tortuous evolution. The objective of this article is to trace a journey through the biographies related to that period of our history and thus learn about the interpretive, documentary, methodological or historiographic problems encountered by this genre. Likewise, I will try to value their contributions, both by assuming a renewal in our conception of the role of the subject in transitional contexts, and by allowing us to address various structural problems from new perspectives.

Biografía e historia siempre han mantenido una compleja relación. Esta se ha revelado especialmente difícil en los estudios sobre la transición española, con una complicada y tortuosa evolución. El objetivo de este artículo es trazar un recorrido por las biografías relativas a ese período de nuestra historia y así conocer los problemas interpretativos, documentales, metodológicos o historiográficos encontrados por dicho género. Igualmente, tratará de hacerse una puesta en valor de sus aportaciones, tanto al suponer una renovación en nuestra concepción sobre el papel del sujeto en contextos transicionales, como al permitir abordar diversas problemáticas estructurales desde nuevas perspectivas.
