Summary

Based on an article published in 1997 by Mr. Goyhenetche on the epistemological problems raised by recent history, we examine the conditions for a dialogue between history, political sociology and political anthropology. As an empirical illustration, we analyse various works on the history of the Northern Basque Country during the 20th century. Lastly, the article argues in favour of a double epistemological position which combines the historian´s rigorous cataloguing and the sociologist´s andanthropologist´s ambition of "modest modelling".
