La devaluación formalista de la historia.

Structuralism and its post-structuralist version distance themselves from history as a real encounter between meaningful practices of social reality and languages. History is reduced to something abstract or the philosophy of history; that is, mere speculation about existence. History considered that way is only structure,method, myth or system; it is not a plexus of inter-subjective relationships emerging through systems of signification that make the intelligibility of society's communicative processes possible. The formalist position of post-structuralism denies the possibility of acceding to the reflective, sensitive, cognitive and rational recordings of the subjects that make them and transcend in their practical actions. The criticism of these positions that consider history more as a part of imagination, poetry, narrative and deconstruction is conclusive because it deals with rescuing the contingent meaning of human historicity from what history provides for us through action becoming interpretation.
