Abstract
The author maintains that social history is a historiographical specialty in close contact with historical sociology. First, he analyzes the social issue which is at the origin and development of a historiography. Then, he studies the various theories of conflict and their methodological development. Finally, he dives into the interpretations of social movements, to conclude that it is necessary a convergence between various methodological proposals. Specifically, he proposes qualitative empiricism as a way to enrich social history with the outlook raised from sociology and anthropology.
