We try to elucidate what are the epistemic decisions involved in the "use" of oral testimonies in historiography, as well as the temporal presuppositions that these research and writing decisions imply. This work is guided by the idea that these choices have ethical, epistemological, and political consequences, which lead historians to consider what has been witnessed as belonging to the past or the present. In this sense, we will propose three possible ways in which historiography, temporality, and testimony are related: the “inferential” way, the “mimetic” and, finally, the “dialogic” one. Each of them corresponds to a temporal order that supposes a specific relationship between the present and the past. These temporal relationships will be conceptualized from the notions of "rupture", "collapse" and "irrevocability", respectively. As a consequence, the result of the different forms of articulation between testimony, historiography, and temporality would result in different ways of constructing the “other” as a witness based on its temporal quality. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo explorar las relaciones posibles entre historiografía, testimonio y temporalidad. En este sentido, partimos de la hipótesis en torno a que las decisiones epistémicas involucradas en el “uso” de testimonios orales en la historiografía impactan en la organización temporal de la obra de historia. Particularmente, se sostendrá que estas elecciones tienen consecuencias éticas, epistemológicas y políticas, que llevan a lxs historiadorxs a considerar lo testimoniado como perteneciente al pasado o al presente. De esta forma, se han identificado tres perspectivas o modos en que lxs historiadorxs incorporan los testimonios en sus obras historiográficas: el modo “inferencial”, el “mimético” y el “dialógico”. Cada una de estas formas presupone un orden temporal que relaciona de manera diferente al presente con el pasado: o se establece una “ruptura” entre pasado y presente; o pasado y presente “colapsan” o, finalmente, el pasado es considerado “irrevocable”. Como consecuencia, el resultado de las diferentes formas de articulación entre el testimonio, la historiografía y la temporalidad redundaría en diferentes formas de construir al “otro” como testigo a partir de su cualidad temporal.

This paper aims to explore the relationship between historiography, testimony, and temporality. We try to elucidate what are the epistemic decisions involved in the "use" of oral testimonies in historiography, as well as the temporal presuppositions that these research and writing decisions imply. This work is guided by the idea that these choices have ethical, epistemological, and political consequences, which lead historians to consider what has been witnessed as belonging to the past or the present.
