| description | How much has environmental history contributed to the historiography of the region? How much has LatinAmerican environmental historiography contributed to the historiography of the region? Could this relationship be cultivated for the benefit of both? This text addresses the public and talks about history based on a critical reading of Latin American environmental historiography. It suggests that historiography has indicated history the relevance of a wider and more complex historical agency, but it has often been formed by predictable narratives of limited appeal to historians without explicit interests regarding therelationship between societies and ecosystems. It is argued that, when entering the last years of a more mature phase, Latin American environmental historiography has opened a door to better questions concerning fundamental topics of Latin American historiography, questions and objects which seem conceptually, as well as methodologically, innovative. The article presents, by means of examples, topics related with agrarian issues and the construction of the nation state, nonetheless, noting that there is a necessity to better document and systematize the methodology of environmental history. The conclusions move towards the hypothesis that the Anthropocene, as a place of epistemological controversy and methodological challenge, may represent a territory of original contribution by environmental history to Latin American historiography. |

Este escrito le habla al público de la Historia desde una lectura crítica de la historiografía ambiental latinoamericana. Sugiere que ésta le ha indicado a la Historia la relevancia de una agencia histórica más amplia y compleja, pero a menudo se ha conformado con narrativas previsibles de limitado atractivo para historiadores sin intereses explícitos hacia la relación entre sociedades y ecosistemas. Argumenta que, al entrar en los últimos años a una etapa más madura, la historiografía ambiental latinoamericana ha abierto el camino hacia mejores preguntas sobre temas fundamentales de la historiografía latinoamericana, interrogantes y objetos que resultan renovadores tanto conceptual como metodológicamente. Aborda, a manera de ejemplos, los asuntos de la cuestión agraria y la construcción del Estado nacional, señalando sin embargo que persiste una necesidad de documentar y sistematizar mejor la metodología de la historia ambiental. Las Conclusiones avanzan hacia la hipótesis de que el Antropoceno, como lugar de controversia epistemológica y de desafío metodológico, puede representar un terreno de contribución original de la historia ambiental a la historiografía latinoamericana. Quels ont été les apports de l’histoire environnementale latinoaméricaine à l’historiographie de cette région? À quel point l’historiographie environnementale latino-américaine a voulu influencer l’historiographie de la région? Cet article réfléchit sur l’histoire à partir d’une lecture critique de l’historiographie environnementale latino-américaine. On affirme ici que celleci montre à l’histoire l’importance d’une agence historique plus large et plus complexe, même si elle se contente souvent d’apportes des narratives prévisibles et peu ttirantes pour les historiens qui ne sont pas forcément intéressés par le rapport entre les sociétés et les écosystèmes. Par ailleurs, l’historiographie environnementale latino-américaine a ouvert récemment la voie pour des questions concernant les problèmes fondamentaux de l’historiographie latinoaméricaine,des questions qui constituent une rénovation et conceptuelle et méthodologique. Par exemple, il estquestion ici du problème agricole et de la construction de l’État national, tout en signalant qu’il faut mieux systématiser la méthodologie de l’histoire environnementale. Enfin, on conclut que l’anthropocène en tant que sujet de controverse épistémologique et défi écologique, peut donner lieu à un ensemble de contributions de l’histoire environnementale à l’histoire latino-américaine. écosystèmes.
