Resumo: Through a discursive analysis of its founding documents, curatorial project, visual and exhibiting rhetoric and the objects that gradually integrated its collection, this article critically addresses the way in which colonialism and its afterlives are thought and displayed (or not) at the House of European History, in Brussels. This museum inaugurated in 2017 under the initiative of the European Parliament with the goal of telling a “transnational history of Europe and the European integration” in order to “reinforce the conscience of European cultural and civilizational heritage”. The article explores how this museum translates the persistence of a colonial episteme in the present, which feeds on an alleged “common European past” by dislocating it without naming it, and, in doing so, shaping its complex. The article also seeks to answer the following question: how does the recently inaugurated House of European History acknowledges (or not) colonialism as the most common and shared experience of European national histories? And how is this museum answering (or not) the recent demands for reparations and welcoming all of those who have always inhabited the European territory?

Neste sentido, este artigo explora como este museu traduz a persistência de uma episteme colonial no presente, que se alimenta de um pretenso “passado comum Europeu”, deslocando-o sem o nomear, e, nisso, dando forma ao seu complexo. Procura responder à seguinte questão: de que forma a Casa da História Europeia recentemente inaugurada assume (ou não) o colonialismo como a experiência mais comum e partilhada das histórias nacionais europeias? E, decorrente desta, de que forma esta casa está a responder (ou não) às mais recentes demandas por reparações e acolhe todos os que desde sempre habitaram o espaço europeu?Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa2023-07-03info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2022.n15.30058https://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2022.n15.30058Práticas da História.
