Resizing tensions and educational searches in contexts of pandemic and massiveness The case of the chair of General Social History of the National University of Tucuman

Abstract

The article raises reflections and procedures of the team of the General Social History chair corresponding to the first year of the careers that are studied in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the National University of Tucumán}, around the demands that the COVID 19 pandemic makes us raised from the year 2020. It was and is about overcoming stupor, misunderstanding and trying to understand, for which this space for dialogue in which we participate is highly significant.Indeed, in order to teach our discipline since the 2020s, with the conviction that historical knowledge makes it possible to understand our world and life in democracy on a larger scale, we traveled a path without certainties or consecrated truths, but without a doubt, biased by ideas, representations, practices and the pre-determined order of what is desirable, all of which we had to analyze, trying to envision new possibilities and disciplinary and didactic problems in a world in transformation, absolutely conditioned by a relentless pandemic, therefore, and immersing ourselves in the flow of these times and the commitment to historical education, we swim against the current from the current demands and conflicts, with proposals, in our opinion, stimulating for our present and its projections for the future, especially in this moment of strengthened hopes for the recovery of attendance and direct contact with our students and colleagues.
