Abstract

This article reflects my recent journey in historical researching, paying special attention to what I have considered as relevant issues in articles and book chapters written in the last six years. The objective in choosing this path is to reflect and map the theoretical and methodological shifts, the challenges and shifts of my historical learning, considering the contributions of various authors, and the dialogue with historiography in general and specific level. Methodological reflections were constructed in a dialogue with sources as newspapers, documents of DOPS, the “chap-books” in addition to oral reports of memory for the political events of the 1950s and 1960s.
