Abstract
This article analyzes the refl ections of Josep Fontana on History as a discipline, as well as the conceptions used by historians to do their job. It appraises the value of his insistence on the need to apply to the study of History the same contextual and critical perspective that History dedicates to other cultural products and it also pays special attention to his relation with the social projects of his time. His proposal to encourage a new writing of History in which to root alternative social projects is also examined along with the problematic issues which entails and the enticing power at its heart.
