Desde sus comienzos, hace dos mil años, los historiadores centraron su interés en los estratos altos de la sociedad, priorizando la esfera política. Se apoyaban en unos pocos documentos escritos dentro de un universo de relatos orales y mitos. Aquella mirada elitista, con las bases sociales y los pueblos bárbaros que los rodeaban como telón de fondo, se mantuvo hasta hace alrededor de cien años. Luego, los historiadores hicieron esfuerzos para integrar en sus páginas a quienes habían quedado en los márgenes, ampliando el enfoque y sumando fuentes de información alternativas. En América, los últimos en incorporarse fueron los indígenas, desatendidos por su condición ágrafa aunque también por criterios discriminatorios que surgieron con la colonización y tiñeron la teoría desde el siglo XIX. La Etnohistoria, que nace y se desarrolla principalmente en América desde mediados del siglo pasado, hizo grandes esfuerzos metodológicos para sumar protagonistas históricos fundamentales como los indígenas. Sin ellos no se pueden comprender algunos procesos que desembocan en el presente. Esos grupos sociales, aún en los márgenes, tenían su propia historia. Faltaba incorporarlos, como en un gran puzzle, a la Historia Universal, y para ello era necesario repensar las partes y el todo. ; From the beginning, two thousand years ago, historians focused their interest in the upper strata of society, prioritizing the political field. They relied on a few written documents within a universe of oral histories and myths. That elitist look, with the grassroots and the barbarians around them as a backdrop, continued until about a hundred years ago. Then the historians made efforts to integrate into your pages to those who had been on the margins, expanding the focus and adding alternative sources of information. In America, were the last to join the Indians, neglected by his unlettered but also discriminatory criteria that emerged with colonization and dipped the theory from the nineteenth century condition. Ethnohistory, born and mainly in America since the middle of last century, and made great efforts to add fundamental methodological historical protagonists as indigenous. Without them you can not understand some of the processes that lead to the present. These social groups, even at the margins, had their own history. He incorporates missing, as in a large puzzle, to world history, and it was necessary to rethink the parts and the whole. ; Fil: Irianni, Marcelino.

Adat and religious values played a significant role in the rise of social movements and people power during the Dutch colonial era which is evident in the dynamics of Bali in particular. For centuries, adat customary traditions had been deeply rooted in Balinese communities and strongly contributed to civilization and culture. However, certain factors, such as social, economic and political disturbances have threatened the stability of Balinese communities and culture. From the local perspective of Bali, this posed a threat against the sovereignty of the kingdom of Bali, was still recognized as an autonomous territory. In light of the above issues, this article used an interdisciplinary approach to historiography in analyzing oral history and textual archives. It is hoped to offer a better understanding of how historical Balinese adat and religious values fostered an increase in social resilience and people power when faced with externally generated disturbances.

This article focuses on the evolution of social history in pre- 1989 West Germany and the GDR and, on the basis of this overview, identifies new, innovative historiographical trends on (re-)writing social history in unified Germany. It is argued that, for many decades, West German historiography had been characterized by sharp debates between the more established advocates of investigations into social structures and processes, on the one hand, and the grass-roots historians of everyday life, on the other. Since the early 1990s, however, this antagonism has considerably receded in favour of synthetic perspectives. At the same time, interest in the history of East European states and regions has considerably increased. This article highlights these new analytical trends in recent German historiography by taking as example studies of the social history of the GDR. In the unified Germany, the history of the GDR has received particular attention. Access to new sources has also enabled historians to link the histories of Eastern and Western Europe, either by employing comparative perspectives or investigating cross-border entanglements.
