CORREA RAMIREZ, Jhon Jaime. History twists: social function within the history and post-modernity, an endless debate. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2011, vol.3, n.6, pp.13-38. ISSN 2145-132X.

History requires facing the new modern debates, which from the post-modernism critical sight have been done within the philosophical and social sciences scope. This contributes to check old conceptual and methodological assumptions, and allows establishing more interdisciplinary fruitful dialogues, with political, social or cultural problems, which from the present reiteratively ask the way the past has been interpreted. Even though the post-modernism trends have questioned the epistemological statute of those great accounts which pretend to explain the past; the historic science has not been away of those issues by creating new topic opening-up, as evidenced in the cultural history field and the works about historical memory.

Palavras-chave : Post-modernity; End of History; Metahistory; Social Function of History; Memory.
