We can distinguish three ways of "making histories." History as the set of evolutionary traces of Humanity on Earth; history as the objectifying and interpretative writing of past events; and histories as the fictionalized writing of real or fictional past, present, or future events. These three types of historicization of events, although distinct, are neither separate nor separable, but rather mutually enrich each other. Thus, we should speak of H/history(ies) to hold together the three transcendental, empirical, and symbolic threads of narrativity. The theoretical argument of this article is that the crisis of the writing of History in the social sciences and in the narrative of histories in literature are parallel and interconnected phenomena. The question it raises is that of the transformation from one historical and narrative form to another. Finally, this questioning of the links between writing and historicity takes on new meaning in the context of the emergence of automatic writing processes: what do these tell us about the transformations in the relationship between writing and H/history(ies)?
