Normality, Objectivity and Multiperspectivity in Historical Narratives, with References to the Image of the General Eduard Fischer

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper, we propose a system by which non-specialists could appropriately understand the historical facts and the ways in which they were interpreted. The pillars on which our system is based are the notions of normality, objectivity and multiperspectivity. We believe that the non-specialist reader in history must realize an important aspect: the interpretation of the historical text should not be limited to content. Account must also be taken of the cultural, social, political, emotional and other factors that influenced the author of the text. To exemplify our proposal, we use the image of the gendarme general Eduard Fischer, controversially described in various political speeches, historical narratives and historiographical writings. At the end of the paper, we reproduce in our own translation the preface of the memoirs of general Eduard Fischer – published in Vienna in 1935, which we intend to translate entirely into Romanian and to propose them for publication – written by Emil Seeliger, an Austrian officer, who, after being in reserve, managed to make a stir in the Austrian press through reports and ideas which were considered unconventional or inadequate at the time.
