Ciencias sociales, pensamiento histórico y ciudadanía: entre lo alegórico y lo virtual (Colombia, 1910-2010).

In recent decades, the role of history in citizen education has moved from a regime of the allegorical to a regime of the virtual. The regime that showed history as an established exemplary order that should enlighten a homogeneous public arena through allegory, has given way to a regime that showed history as an unfinished critical order that can support a public arena of diversities in virtualized form. This displacement has had an impact on cognitive, didactic, social, cultural and political dimensions of historical thought in the teaching of the social sciences. This situation has been complex in contexts with profound social conflicts where the educational system lies within the scope of transitional justice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
