CALL FOR PAPERS This is the fourth time, and the second this century, that we call out to historians from around the world to make a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela to debate the field of history, the great events and historical processes that we are witnessing, and the demands of other cultural, political and social subjects that have a part in the writing of history. We will be looking at what the job of the historian should be like in the 21st century. New ways of working with sources and theories, of orienting the didactics of history, of connecting with readers and viewers through new technology. By developing new paradigms, networks and tendencies such as History under Debate and others that arise from the new realities of the century. We shall come together from the common ground of methodology, epistemology, historiography, immediate history and digital history at the defragmentation of an ancient science that seeks a new source in the age of globalization without surrendering the historiographic breakthroughs of the 20th century that are now being reformulated. Living academic history more globally and collectively means showing a concern for our shared present, contributing our historical knowledge to the understanding and evolution of the major issues of a global “now” that is determining more and more how history and the humanities and social sciences in general are studied.
