Abstract
After considering the polysemic nature of the very phrase "the crisis of History" and qualifying the alleged decline of the twentieth century's major historiographical trends, this interview explores the several alternatives that lie open today -the New Cultural History, the rise of new topics and subjects for History (race, gender, subaltern studies ... }- and probes into the crisis surrounding the historian' s job in to-day's society while reviewing at the same time the role of Historical Sociology and its connections with the renewal of Social History. Together with that, this item includes a discussion of present-day historiography in Spain, the main problems that affect its practitioners, its bonds with the University world and the range of possible solutions.
