Abstract

En esta investigación se evalúan las corrientes positivistas y posmoderna de la historia desde la óptica de los historiadores puertorriqueños José Manual García Leduc y Carlos Pabón. Para fines de este estudio nos dimos a la tarea de reunir información conducente a sustentar la hipótesis de cómo y por qué los paradigmas positivista y posmoderno, a pesar de presentarse como modelos diferentes de hacer historia, contienen elementos comunes que merecen ser destacados para la comprensión y entendimiento del quehacer histórico. Sirven de referencia principal los trabajos y el debate suscitado por ambos catedráticos. a finales del siglo XX. Se estableció como fundamentos principales de la discusión los preceptos del modelo positivista de objetividad, cientificidad y verdad histórica, en contraposición aparente de la crítica del modelo posmodernista y la prédica contenida en el concepto desarrollado como giro lingüístico. Esto, en un momento que tanto como hoy, se cuestionaba la validez y enfoque de la disciplina histórica.

This research evaluates the positivist and postmodernist currents of history from the perspective of Puerto Rican historians José Manuel García Leduc and Carlos Pabón. For the purposes of this study, we undertook the task of gathering information to support the hypothesis of how and why the positivist and postmodern paradigms, despite presenting themselves as different models of history, contain common elements that deserve to be highlighted for the comprehension and understanding of historical work. The main reference is the work and debate sparked by both professors at the end of the 20th century. The main foundations of the discussion were the precepts of the positivist model of objectivity, scientificity, and historical truth, in apparent contrast to the critique of the postmodernist model and the preaching contained in the concept developed as a linguistic turn. This occurred at a time when, as much as today, the validity and focus of the historical discipline were being questioned.
