Summary/Abstract: The change of the political paradigma by the Berlin wall decline in 1989, gave birth to a new cultural model-this time, its epicentre outside of Bosnia, had a strong reflection on the Bosnian-Herzegovinian historiography, where the place was taken by the works marked by the ethno-aparthead serving the prepolitical and ethno-confessional programmes. The actual brutality and the situation of the social chaos provided the legitimacy based in history, which its tragic-comical repeatings was established like the reality of the first class. In this way, the historiography has been a captive of the politics, while historians willing to be the “architects" of the contemporary time, marked by recidivous new conquest unacceptable past.
