Abstract
ARIAS DIAZ, Matteo. Time and contingency: the productions of meaning in historiographic practice. Let. hist. [online]. 2021, n.25, 00003. Epub June 06, 2022. ISSN 2448-8372. https://doi.org/10.31836/lh.25.7334.
It is possible to identify assigned meanings in the writing process within historiographical practice because, in response to the need of apprehending and understanding reality, human beings construct meaning epistemologically through the logic of social systems. The aim of this text is to analyze, as a postmodern theoretical reflection, meaning construction within historiographical practice and to describe why history as a discipline must heed the call of uncertainty, explained by the concepts of contingency and observation.
Keywords : contingency; time; uncertainty; observation; historiography.
