Abstract

The narrative format plays a central role in the field of history, both in the production of historical knowledge and its transmission and also when it comes to learning. One of the most common and dominant narratives are the so-called national narratives. These narratives, frequently based on myths and legends, aim to celebrate the nation and hinder a critical understanding of the past. This article seeks a better understanding of the role that these national narratives play in the production and consumption of historical knowledge through an analysis in different contexts: academic, school and at an informal ambit. Finally, some of the most recent empirical studies on the influence of these national narratives on students learning are discussed.
