Abstract

The paper presents an historic journey through theoretical and methodological debates in Anthropology, History and Social Sciences in general, and their connection with the development oh Historic Anthropology or Ethnohistory as a specific discipline related to the research done by our own group. We tried to show sequences of the principal trends, as well as lines of debates or the congruencies prevailing in different social disciplines of each period and academic group. Having this in mind, we tried to make a critical balance of the main streams of thought around methodology, probation conditions and truth criteria, the author's role, and above all the false opposition between objectivity and subjectivity.
