El Giro lingüístico: algunas de sus resonancias filosóficas en la historiografía

Abstract

This article discusses the historicity of the so-called linguistic turn in the historiography of the 20th century. The objective is to expose, from a historical-conceptual framework, the historicity of two modalities of linguistic turn, rooted in the difference "language-speak" and transferred to historiography as narrative figurations of temporality.
In this sense, we explain that the problem raised in the interpretation of José Elías Palti, regarding the work of Hayden White, allows us to see the two modalities articulated in their historical-temporal dimension. Thus, we propose that the interpretation of the linguistic turn becomes reductionist and unilateral, when it is only seen (within the historiographical field) as a pure artificiality alien to its historical evolution, since only one of its two modalities transferred to the historical discipline is noticed. We also consider the importance of the historical-philosophical reflection approach for a full understanding of the historicity of the linguistic turn, as a generator of philosophical resonances within historiography. In conclusion, for us the turn to the linguistic is immanent to the history of historiography itself.
