«El contenido de la forma» is an essay by Hayden White on theory of history and literary criticism, published by Paidós Ibérica in paperback.
Eight essays in which Hayden White analyzes whether narrative discourse can represent history. His thesis is that narration is not a neutral vehicle: the form of the story is what gives meaning to the past. The book examines historical theory and the politics of interpretation, with readings of Droysen, Foucault, Jameson and Ricoeur.
The original title is 'The Content of the Form: Narrative Discourse and Historical Representation'; the work was originally published in 1987, and the Spanish edition is from 1992.
Intended for students and readers interested in theory of history, philosophy and literary criticism.
Hayden V. White was an American historian in the tradition of literary criticism. He wrote Metahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe in 1973.
