Descripción
Sumario:The influential and controversial Paraguayan historian Juan Emiliano O’Leary wrote, between the years 1936 and 1960, an intimate diary. The entire manuscript, recently accessible for study, covers more than a thousand pages. By the volume of his writing and by his temporal frame it can be maintained, a priori, that it constitutes a consistent and representative body of his life. This work gives an account of the results of a first approximation to the self-reflexive writing of the historian and asks about the Possibilities and limits of the studies of the discourses produced in the private sphere for a better understanding of the historical thought and the processes of writing of the history.
