LYTHGOE, Esteban. ¿Una superación de los límites de la representación? La reelaboración del debate en Frank Ankersmit y su recurso al testimonio. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.2, pp.157-176. ISSN 1852-7353.
This paper analyses Frank Ankersmit's interpretation of the discussion on the limits of representation and his proposal to avoid it by using the testimony of the survivors of the Holocaust. It is sustained that his answer to this discussion if unsatisfactory due both to internal inconsistencies and its inappropriate consequences. Its internal limitations will show that the problem does not lie in the given answer but in the elaboration of the debate. On the other side, the reason of our interest in the external difficulties is that it does not only affect to Ankersmit's proposal but to every one that gives more importance to the survivers' testimonies than to the historical representations.
