This article contends that the present crisis of history is due to a continuous disarticulation between today’s temporality and the contemporary historiographical discourse, brought about by the emergence of different forms of experience. Considered as an exceptional field for observation and experimentation, the theme of violence works as a means to analyze such problem, to find different conceptions of historical time, and to explore new modes of representation and narrative voices.

Keywords : violence; history of the present; representation; aesthetics of violence; time regime; historical discourse.
