Rational vs historical reconstructions. A note on Blaug
2003
The paper focuses on Blaug's distinction between rational and historical reconstruction within the historiography of economics. Blaug's distinction is shown to be sterile and misleading and his definitions of no avail to clear thinking. Historical reconstruction (as defined by Blaug) is en empty box for reasons which are basically theoretical and not simply practical (as Blaug seems to hold). Moreover, Blaug's primary polemical target is Whig historiography and not rational reconstruction: the two concepts coincide only by means of an ad hoc definition. Blaug's criticism does not apply to other uses of the concept of rational reconstruction such as that proposed by Lakatos.

Las batallas de Atapuerca y la (re)escritura novelesca de la historia
2020
La batalla de Atapuerca (1054) constituye un hito en la historia del reino de Navarra. Desde su primera versión historiográfica conservada en la Historia silense (c. 1118-1126), el relato de la batalla de Atapuerca sufrió modificaciones, amplificaciones y refundiciones en su extensa dispersión en el tiempo y el espacio. En este trabajo se lleva a cabo, en un primer momento, una comparación entre distintas versiones latinas (fundamentalmente la Silense, el Chronicon mundi y De rebus Hispaniae) y castellanas de este episodio para luego dar lugar al análisis de una versión tardía del enfrentamiento incluida en el manuscrito 431 de la Biblioteca Nacional de España, códice que dataría de la segu…
La historia maleable. A propósito de Internet
2006
This essay attempts to assess the impact of the new technologies on the discipline of history. It starts from the assumption that the revolution in information technology has altered the way in which texts are transmitted, the medium in which they are made available, and the ways in which they are read. Moving on, this essay tries to evaluate how far it might affect other fundamental ideas. The changes are various. On the one hand, it could have an effect on the type of source, and to a degree on the critical method with which historians approach whatever type of document. On the other hand, it could also undermine the notion of authorship, not only because many of the new texts in existenc…
