Abstract
In this text contributions related are abridged - direct or indirectly - with the historiography of world war two. The comparative historiography is placed as a gender related to a typology that classified historiography theories over an extended sequence from the general and philosophical to the particular and empirical. Resides, it also places the recent debates on the “fragmentation " of the historiography in a comparative perspective. Due that historiography is the history of the written history -and therefore a reconstruction of reconstructions- we find the problem of comparison in historiography twice. The historiographer is not alone confronting with relative comparative judgments of the historic reconstructions themselves but also related to the historiography reconstructions of those historic reconstructions.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
