Summary: | In this paper I will analyze the distinctive features of the twentieth century historiography with regards to its most salient events. By doing so, I will provide an interpretation of the struggles which underlay the production of historical knowledge at the end of the century. In contrast to various theories of historiography which assert that autonomy from collective memory is a methodological assumption of the historian, I will argue that historiography is always interwoven with the political and ethical challenges of the historian’s time. In this regard, this paper´s theses are inspired by Walter Benjamin’s ideas concerning historiography, as well as by the interpretations of this ideas provided by other historians and philosophers, such as Enzo Traverso, Dominick LaCapra or Michael Löwy. Their ideas will serve as a framework for understanding the challenges historians face when narrating contemporary history. |

Neste trabalho, analiso as distintas características da historiografia do século vinte em torno aos eventos mais proeminentes da época, para, assim, poder delinear uma interpretação das lutas que subjazem a produção do conhecimento histórico. Em contraste com várias teorias da historiografia que afirmam que a autonomia da memória coletiva é um pressuposto metodológico do historiador, argumentarei que a historiografia está sempre entrelaçada com os desafios políticos e éticos do tempo do historiador. A esse respeito, as teses deste trabalho são inspiradas nas ideias de Walter Benjamin sobre a historiografia, bem como pelas interpretações dessas premissas, fornecidas por outros historiadores e filósofos, como Enzo Traverso, Dominick LaCapra ou Michael Löwy. Suas ideias servirão de estrutura para compreender os desafios que os historiadores enfrentam ao narrar a história contemporânea.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2020-04-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/149410.15848/hh.v13i32.1494História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 13 No. 32 (2020); 47-81História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 13 Núm. 32 (2020); 47-81História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 13 n. 32 (2020); 47-811983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPenghttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/1494/838Copyright (c) 2020 História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiographyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPérez Baquero, Rafael2021-01-29T17:39:42Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/1494Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2021-01-29T17:39:42História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false |
