Abstract

The approach to History, as a discipline dedicated to the study of human beings over time, is a source of
multiple theoretical and philosophical discussions. Over the years, considerations regarding the 'constructions
of the past' have evolved. Great thinkers of all centuries taken, directly or indirectly, from the historical discipline
for the development and elaboration of their theoretical-philosophical models. This aspect had implications in
historiography. Those ways, interdisciplinarity transformed the historian's task. Therefore, this work seeks to
approach the different historical perspectives of two great thinkers of the 20th century, Michel Foucault and
Walter Benjamin, whose reflections and critical studies have been modifying the ways of interpreting the past
