I15-R230-article-4042023-12-01T14:39:08Z Towards a critical history. Notes on the theses of Walter Benjamin Hacia una historia crítica. Notas en torno a las tesis de Walter Benjamin Pittaluga, Roberto This paper explores some of the epistemological and political dimensions of Walter Benjamin's elaborations on history, as they constitute indispensable elements for thinking the foundations and deploying the practices of a critical history. Starting from the seventh thesis contained in the posthumous "On the Concept of History", and in particular the idea of "brushing history against the grain", its implications for a materialist historiography are examined. To this end, we reflect on the relations between past and present that it proposes, as well as on the figurative resources and the praxis that sustain this historiographical revolution. Este trabajo explora algunas de las dimensiones epistemológicas y políticas de las elaboraciones sobre la historia que hiciera Walter Benjamin, en tanto constituyen elementos indispensables para pensar los fundamentos y desplegar las prácticas de una historia crítica. A partir de la séptima tesis contenida en el póstumo “Sobre el concepto de historia”, y en particular la idea de “pasarle a la historia el cepillo a contrapelo”, se examinan sus implicaciones para una historiografía materialista. Para ello se reflexiona sobre las relaciones entre pasado y presente que propone como también sobre los recursos figurativos y la praxis que sostiene esta revolución historiográfica.

This paper explores some of the epistemological and political dimensions of Walter Benjamin's elaborations on history, as they constitute indispensable elements for thinking the foundations and deploying the practices of a critical history. Starting from the seventh thesis contained in the posthumous "On the Concept of History", and in particular the idea of "brushing history against the grain", its implications for a materialist historiography are examined. To this end, we reflect on the relations between past and present that it proposes, as well as on the figurative resources and the praxis that sustain this historiographical revolution.
