Resumen de López Piñero, un modelo historiográfico
- español
Se ofrece un examen privilegiado de la obra historiográfica de José María López Piñero, a partir de su famoso texto Ciencia y técnica (1979), destacando su valoración del clasicismo de Lebrija, su precaución no presentista y su particular estimación del siglo XVI como etapa tecnológica (minería, química, botánica, arquitectura, náutica…). El autor reclama como antropólogo americanista su deuda personal con esta obra, no exenta de sentido crítico.

This paper offers a unique examination of the historiographical work of José María López Piñero. Beginning with the famous text Ciencia y técnica (1979), this paper calls attention to his appraisal of the classicism of Lebrija, his antipresentism and his particular appreciation for the sixteenth century as the age of Spanish world's domination, especially in the scientific fields dealing with technology (mining, chemistry, botany, architecture, navigation...). The author, as an anthropologist based in Latin American studies, wishes to express his personal debt to Ciencia y técnica, a work not exempt of criticism.
