Even in 1989, it seemed almost imposible to achieve the development of a Historiography of the Spanish Cinema, owing to the great hindrance represented by the critical practice that had turned into a "bad object" of investigation. However, the situation changed with the new historical researches, followed by the semiologic approach that gathered in the magazine Contracampo. The presence of Cinema Studies in the University Departments, after a brief period of foundation, has created a topographic map of the Spanish Cinema that overthrow the precedent a priori statements and ambiguities and returned to the texts themselves. This group of investigations have worked on the reconsideration of films with the aim to find the traces of the times they emerged on.
