Resumo: Roughly since the transition to the current century, archive’s theoretical, epistemological and cultural status has been widely valued, placing the archive at the core of a multidisciplinary debate within the human and social sciences. This development contradicts a secular and nevertheless not yet overcome representation of the archive as an unquestioned object, mainly framed within a practical and applied type of thought and reasoning. In this essay we proceed to an incursion into a growing and multidisciplinary bibliographic corpus that problematizes the archive as a concept and the archives themselves, leading to new perspectives on archives’ relation with their socio-historical surroundings. Through the exploration of themes such as memory, power and social and political uses of the archive, this incursion highlights contributions that allow a new focus on the history of the archives and an appreciation of its specific historicity. Looking to the archive and collective memory as two interrelated and commonly grounded problems, the usefulness of the study of archives for a historical sociology of mnemonic practices is suggested. KeywordsArchive Concept; Archives’ History; Power; Collective Memory; Interdisciplinarity.

Esse desenvolvimento contraria uma representação, apesar de tudo ainda não superada, do arquivo como um objeto inquestionado e naturalizado numa ordem de preocupações principalmente operatórias. Neste ensaio procede-se a uma incursão num corpus bibliográfico crescente e pluridisciplinar que problematiza o conceito de arquivo e os próprios arquivos e conduz a uma reinterpretação da relação destes com a sua envolvente socio-histórica. Uma incursão em que, por via da exploração de temas como memória, poder e usos sociais e políticos do arquivo, são valorizados contributos que permitam um novo enfoque sobre a história dos arquivos e uma valorização da sua historicidade específica. Numa perspetiva de integração das problemáticas do arquivo e da memória coletiva, é sugerida a utilidade do estudo dos arquivos para uma sociologia histórica das práticas mnemónicas.
