As artistic and cultural creation, it is believed it is a production period, which is concomitant with the mandates of Margaret Thatcher(1979-1990), known to promote the neoliberalism in England, was crucial to the references to the work contains, as political statement of its creators . In this sense, this paper has as theoretical framework the study of authors, as Ankersmit (2001,2012), White (1991, 1999, 2006, 2010), Hutcheon (1991), Kellner (2001), Foucault (1996), among others, which made it possible to glimpse the work not as merely as a source, but as a historic building from the 1980s English. The propose of analysis is guided in the original version of the work, interviews with authors and documentaries.
