Résumé
The trend towards hyper-specialization and isolation in history research has meant that professionals from outside the discipline have had to meet the public demand for historical knowledge. However, mass media products usually lack the critical and ethical reflection and rigor characterizing solid historiographical research. Military history is a paradigmatic example, insofar as its broad appeal among the general public has not generated the same degree of enthusiasm in academia. Hence, it is necessary to reconsider the role that dissemination should play as a bridge between academia and society. In this context, Desperta Ferro Ediciones is examined here as a case study illustrating the possibilities opened up by collaboration between academia and private enterprise.
