The purpose of the text is to discuss the passage of the revolution as an important category of political science to a more cultural approach trying to perceive what was revolutionary in each event. In the first moment I discuss about the obsession a revolutionary event that was associated with a national element as entry into modernity. . From a unique and progressive time, revolution became a banner capable of sustaining the solution to a crisis, separating the old from the new. However, its rise accompanied its fall and in century XX, the category and the concept happened to be strongly criticized. The obsolescence of the revolution was rescued by a more cultural approach, bringing to the fore new characters, new narratives and new conceptualizations. As a consequence of the plurality of temporalities, progressive and evolutionary time could be questioned and overcome.
