Resumo: The professionals who teachs History, at any level in which their teaching is exercised, are increasingly threatened in their activity and challenged in their essential condition of exercise – the mobilization of the public – by a growing sense of contempt for the past, especially the more remote, within the framework of capitalist societies that are only recognized in projections for the future. To this we dedicate, more and more, our greatest feeling of empathy! The ‘daily dismantling in the air of any and all expressions of historical solidity’ frees us from the feeling of the weight of time on our backs, accelerating history in a present that is experienced as a constant change that only links us to the future, only projects us ahead. Historicity increasingly seems to reside in science fiction, and past tense in novels that celebrate a lost world or that may not have even existed! In view of this scenario, historians in general, and medievalists (and antiquists!) in particular, need to reflect on the conditions, perspectives, practices and meanings of the study and teaching of our ‘time slices’ in all levels of education in Brazil. How is the present and what will be the future of this past in the intellectual formation of Brazilians?

How is the present and what will be the future of this past in the intellectual formation of Brazilians?Los profesionales que enseñan Historia, en cualquier nivel en el que se ejerza su docencia, se ven cada vez más amenazados en su actividad y desafiados en su condición esencial de ejercicio – la movilización del público – por un creciente sentimiento de desprecio por el pasado, especialmente el más remoto, en el marco de sociedades capitalistas que solo se reconocen en proyecciones hacia el futuro. ¡A eso dedicamos, cada vez más, nuestro mayor sentimiento de empatía! El ‘desmantelamiento cotidiano en el aire de todas y cada una de las expresiones de solidez histórica’ nos libera de la sensación del peso del tiempo sobre nuestras espaldas, acelerando la historia en un presente que se vive como un cambio constante que solo nos vincula al futuro, solo nos proyecta hacia adelante. La historicidad parece residir cada vez más en la ficción científica, y el tiempo pasado en las novelas que celebran un mundo perdido o que puede que ni siquiera haya existido. Ante este escenario, los historiadores en general, y los medievalistas (¡y los anticuarios!) en particular, necesitan reflexionar sobre las condiciones, perspectivas, prácticas y significados del estudio y la enseñanza de nuestras ‘franjas de duración del tiempo’ en todos los niveles de educación en Brasil. ¿Cómo es el presente y cuál será el futuro de este pasado en la formación intelectual de los brasileños?Os profissionais que lecionam História, em qualquer nível em que seu magistério se exerça, estão cada vez mais ameaçados em sua atividade e desafiados numa sua condição de exercício essencial – a mobilização do público – por um crescente sentimento de desprezo pelo passado, em especial os mais remotos, no quadro de sociedades capitalistas que só se reconhecem em projeções para o futuro. A esse dedicamos, cada vez mais, o nosso maior sentimento de empatia! O ‘desmanche cotidiano no ar de toda e qualquer expressão de solidez histórica’ nos livra da sensação do peso do tempo sobre nossas costas, acelerando a história num presente que é vivido como mudança constante que só nos vincula ao futuro, só nos projeta à frente, ao vir a ser. A historicidade parece cada vez mais residir na ficção científica, e o tempo pretérito nos romances que celebram um mundo perdido ou que talvez nem tenha existido! Tendo em vista este cenário, impõe-se aos historiadores em geral, e aos medievalistas (e antiquistas!) em particular, refletir sobre as condições, perspectivas, práticas e sentidos do estudo e da docência de nossas ‘fatias de duração do tempo’ em todos os níveis do ensino no Brasil.
