Abstract
If the main purpose of the creator of a historical narrative, in any of its modalities: novel, tale, theater, film, narrative lyricism and short story, is to divulge the creator's particular criteria or vision of the history he/she is narrating, the creation and diffusion process of the fictional historical narrative is transformed into a diverse interpretation of historical reality. Hence, when there is an integration of fictional narrative from different viewpoints and partialities of a specific historic period, a new history discourse is concreted, referring to diversity of interpretations and versions of the same history that, eventually, will be transformed into another source of historical discourse. The creator, in his narrative account, can freely use subjective claims and motives of his so-called private life and introduce the reasons that would not be allowed by Historical documentation. In fictional historical narrative, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish whether a text belongs to the field of history, or to mere fiction, or to fictionalized history, and thus the could be mistaken with texts catalogued as historized fiction. The text boundaries regarding history and fiction belong to the criteria and hermeneutic judgment of the researcher. In the imposition of ideological hegemony and historical validation, each power group, in due time and opportunity will try to impose their own idea system, judgments and biases on the History classes, which is in its own history and curricular develpment, due to its inevitable political load, the target of many controversies and impositions.
