LOPEZ, Damián. The proof of the experience: Reflections on the use of the concept of experience in recent historiography. Prismas [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.1, pp.33-52. ISSN 1852-0499.

This text exams some uses of the experience concept within the historical studies focusing on arguments about their extents, during the period between the social history summit and their gradual change by the so called "new cultural history". Thus, different conceptions of experience are analysed; there are the cases of paradigmatic authors such as Raymond Williams, Edward Thompson, Gareth Stedman Jones and Joan Scott -all of them linked to or influenced by the Marxist tradition. It tries to outline their position main features related to the concept utility for the historical analysis, the place these authors give to the experience in their own work, and the historiographical context in which they made those propositions.
