The intangibility of the main elements that determine the nature of conversation does not detract from the fact that this practice should also be considered in cultural history. As a transmitter and generator of symbolic expression, conversation is the almost invisible artefact, practice and representation of an important cultural element, which demonstrates and embodies a way of relating to and interpreting reality. To achieve its aims, cultural history needs support from the experience of conversing, that is, of sharing and letting others speak for you, of daring to think rigorously, of imagining, of taking up narratives again and immersing oneself in the uncertainty and openness involved in all traditional practices. Thus, culture and thought, education and history meet in the frontier, marginal and stimulating space of conversations.
