Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the contributions of Oral History to the historical explanation. In order to do that, we have made a brief research around the different currents that conform Oral History. In this sense, we thought it was imperative to establish a more general context in which we linked those problems to the so-called Social History. Considering the expansion of knowledge areas and the types of sources -contained in the different branches of Oral History and in Raphael Samuel’s and Edward Paul Thompson’s works- we think it fundamental to appeal to this special approach whenever we deal with Recent History. To summarize, we believe this particular view of history open doors to the study of popular culture, common people, their daily habits and their own subjectivity.
