Resumen
El objetivo de este artículo consiste en explorar la idea que subyace tras la filosofía de la historia de Hayden White, concerniente a la naturaleza misma de las narrativas históricas. Mi hipótesis principal es que la teoría narrativista de White podría adquirir un significativo enriquecimiento considerada desde el punto de vista de la Teoría de Sistemas. En síntesis, lo que intento es resaltar algunos tópicos que han surgido en estas cuatro décadas de teoría narrativista, desde la perspectiva de algunos términos vinculados a la Teoría de Sistemas, en el entendimiento de que proveen una clave en la comprensión de la teoría whiteana. Mi lema, entonces, es que finalmente entendemos la tesis central de la filosofía de la historia whiteana, la base tropológica del discurso historiográfico, solo si aceptamos la idea principal de que las narrativas son, después de todo, sistemas que operan bajo procedimientos tropológicos (sistémicos). Para nosotros comprender lo que es un sistema histórico presupone que antes hemos aprehendido lo que es un sistema a secas.

In a nutshell, what I intend is to outline some main topics that have arisen during these four decades of narrativist theory, from the point of view of some terms related to Systems Theory, in the understanding that they provide a key to the comprehension of Whitean theory. My motto is, then, that we finally understand the core thesis of Whitean philosophy of history, the tropological basis of historiographical discourse, only if we accept the main idea that narratives are, after all, systems that operate under (systemic) tropological procedures. For us to understand what is a historical system presupposes that we have previously grasped what is a system at all.
