An analysis of Social History in Spain today must consider the re-sponses by Spanish historians to certain recent debates, in particular those about the Linguistic Turn and Postmodernism. This can be pre-sented in two sections. The first is a brief historical review of the dif-ferent stages in Social History as a discipline in Spain, from its aca-demic formation to the present day.
