Resumo: | Meaning is a central concept in contemporary historical discourse. How meaning is understood has crucial consequences for the use of history, the possibilities of historical orientation and the risks of instrumentalizing history. This article explains the meaning of the concept of meaning in Jörn Rüsen’s theory of history, and argues that his perspective on meaning provides a more promising alternative than objectivism and relativist constructivism with regard to historical orientation and instrumentalism. In order to explain Rüsen’s concept of meaning, different concepts of meaning are distinguished. A significant distinction is made between meaning as constitution and meaning as representation. Several different aspects of Rüsen’s concept of meaning are then articulated. Against this background,the concept of rationality of meaning is explained and opposed both to constructivism and its inherenttendency to instrumentalism, and to the tendency to objectify meaning in empirical analyses of historicalconsciousness. |

O conceito de sentido é central no discurso histórico contemporâneo. A forma como o sentido é compreendido tem conseqüências cruciais para o uso da história, para as possibilidades de orientação histórica e para os riscos de sua instrumentalização. Este artigo explica o sentido do conceito de sentido na teoria da história de Jörn Rüsen, argumentando que sua perspectiva fornece, no que diz respeito aos temas da orientação e da instrumentalização, uma alternativa mais promissora do que o objetivismo e o construtivismo relativista. Com o objetivo de explicar o conceito de sentido em Rüsen, diferentes conceitos de sentido serão destacados. Uma distinção importante será feita entre sentido como constituição e sentido como representação. Em seguida, diferentes aspectos do conceito de sentido de Rüsen serão articulados. Nesse pano de fundo, o conceito de ‘racionalidade de sentido’ será analisado e oposto tanto ao construtivismo, em sua inerente tendência ao instrumentalismo, quanto à tendência a objetificar o sentido em análises empíricas da consciência histórica.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2009-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/2410.15848/hh.v0i1.24História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2008); 19-44História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 1 Núm. 1 (2008); 19-44História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 1 n. 1 (2008); 19-441983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/24/21Wiklund, Martininfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-05-02T02:43:10Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/24Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2020-05-02T02:43:10História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false |

Meaning is a central concept in contemporary historical discourse. How meaning is understood has crucial consequences for the use of history, the possibilities of historical orientation and the risks of instrumentalizing history. This article explains the meaning of the concept of meaning in Jörn Rüsen’s theory of history, and argues that his perspective on meaning provides a more promising alternative than objectivism and relativist constructivism with regard to historical orientation and instrumentalism. In order to explain Rüsen’s concept of meaning, different concepts of meaning are distinguished. A significant distinction is made between meaning as constitution and meaning as representation. Several different aspects of Rüsen’s concept of meaning are then articulated. Against this background,the concept of rationality of meaning is explained and opposed both to constructivism and its inherenttendency to instrumentalism, and to the tendency to objectify meaning in empirical analyses of historicalconsciousness. |
