Abstract
Is history important in our day? Truthfully, following the nationalist conceptions that give a particular importance to history, and after it having become a weapon at the service of political conceptions of democratic openness and of opposition to lines of interpretation, or of ideology and memory, defended by authoritarian regimes, and even after it had been confirmed as a greatly important science, as an interpretation of the past and of the present, in an interdisciplinary space, history has involved itself in the vast and poorly defined field that is the social sciences. Consequently, it has at times lost its identity, more so to the extent to which it has become a narrative discourse of divulgation. This is the reflection that we seek to make, discovering whether - perhaps despite and because of the interdisciplinary nature of historiographical discourse - history is a science that pursues complex and objective analysis and interpretation that is not wrapped up in concerns for ideology and 'opinion' that is characteristic of a period of cultural crisis.
