Aquí, la decadencia de la síntesis se sustenta en dos hipótesis: desde el punto de vista teórico-institucional, la expansión de la historia social llevó a la adopción y difusión de estudios monográficos a partir de la década de 1960, con el surgimiento del posestructuralismo y su sucesor, el posmodernismo historiográfico. Luego de un acercamiento tópico a los fundamentos teóricos de la síntesis en algunas referencias ineludibles, se sustenta a la luz de la historia pública la viabilidad de la síntesis como herramienta imprescindible en el taller de historia y como género historiográfico estratégico en la comunicación con audiencias más amplias.application/pdfporUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/7535https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/7535Copyright © 2022 Jurandir MalerbaopenAccessLibre accesohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Co-herencia, Vol. 20, Núm. 39 (2023)Who’s Afraid of Synthesis?
