Abstract


History serves the present in different ways. Every society contemplates with different objectives its own past. which is necessarily reinterpreted to fit that purpose. Which are the objectives of rhis reconsideration of the past? Why those objectives? How to reínterpret history to seek them? This paper aims at answering these questions. When the present is not gratifying nor pleasing, and the coming future does not seem to be able to change that trend, reconsidering the past becomes necessary. If the past gives an image that is more positive than the present and the future, then it becomes a basic element of collective satisfaction and pride.
