| Sumario: | This article proposes a dialogue between the historiography of modern Spanish history and the ethnographic process I lived through while I was researching the Basque conflict. The narratives explored in this research will help us understand other cases in which oral history and political violence converge in a single text. Oral history was born in the middle of the twentieth century but it has become a common practice in the twenty first century. However, there is a lack of self-questioning by historians when they carry out their interviews. If the purpose of oral history is to hear the stories of persons who witnessed important historical events, then surely, we historians are witnesses to these testimonios during the interviews. We represent the place were the narrator places his life story. |
