Abstract
En los últimos años, el concepto de «ortodoxia» ha venido utilizándose en los estudios sobre comunismo para sustituir al de comunistas «prosoviéticos». Partiendo de una perspectiva híbrida, comparativa, procesual y anti-naturalista, en el presente artículo trataremos de demostrar que esta nueva denominación presenta serias limitaciones analíticas que, lejos de aportar una mayor claridad conceptual que permita catalogar y diferenciar mejor a unos comunistas de otros, genera nuevos problemas metodológicos para los historiadores del comunismo español. In recent years, the concept of “orthodoxy” has been used in communist studies to replace that of “pro-Soviet” communists. Taking a stance that hybridizes comparative, processual and anti-naturalist perspectives, this article demonstrates that this new denomination presents serious analytical limitations that, far from providing greater conceptual clarity which might make for better cataloguing and easier differentiation between communist actors, actually generates new methodological problems for historians of Spanish communism.
