Descripción
El artículo indaga la configuración de la profesión histórica en Colombia a partir de la sistematización de 35 entrevistas realizadas a personas vinculadas con el Departamento de Historia de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia - sede Bogotá. Para ello se recopiló información cuantitativa y cualitativa referente al género, identidad racial, nacionalidad, lugar de origen regional, tipo de universidad y variables objetivas y subjetivas relacionadas con la decisión de dedicarse a la investigación histórica. Se establecieron cinco generaciones para entender los cambios de esta comunidad académica. Se concluye que los estudios de posgrado son fundamentales para consolidar la trayectoria investigativa de quienes estudian el pasado, para esto es esencial el acceso a becas que son muy reducidas en Colombia. Por otra parte, la participación de las mujeres en el campo de los estudios históricos dentro del Departamento es minoritaria. Además, la presencia de personas racializadas, provenientes de un grupo étnico y/o de una región distinta a la andina es nula. Aunque la muestra es limitada para establecer conclusiones a nivel general, pone sobre la mesa la importancia de analizar cómo el lugar de procedencia, las condiciones estructurales de clase, raza y género limitan o permiten la consolidación de una carrera investigativa.
The article investigates the configuration of the history as a profession in Colombia from the systematization of 35 interviews conducted to people who are linked to the History Department of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia [National University of Colombia] – Bogotá. To do it, quantitative and qualitative information such as gender, racial identity, nationality, regional place of origin, type of university, in addition to objective and subjective variables related to the decision to dedicate to historical research was collected. Five generations were established to understand the academic community changes. It is concluded that post-graduate studies are essential to consolidate the research path of those who study the past, for this, the access to scholarships which are few in Colombia is fundamental. On the other hand, women's participation in the historical studies field is a minority within the Department. In addition, the presence of racialized people, who come from ethnic groups and/or from different regions to the Andean region, is non-existent. Although the sample is limited to establish general conclusions, it highlights the importance of analyzing how the place of origin and the structural conditions of class, race, and gender restrict or allow the consolidation of a research career.
