Resumo: | In this article, I investigate the role of a particular kind of ‘materiality’ at work in the writing and reading of history. This involves examining the challenges posed to constructivist approaches to history by various post-linguistic-turn claims about presence and experience as well as by so-called post-narrativism. The core focus will be on outlining an argument for updating ‘narrativist’ or constructivist theory of history to deal with these recent concerns. This requires directing more attention to the relations between author, text, and reader, particularly concerning the key issues of reality, embodiment, and immersion. To demonstrate the value of approaching these relations in terms of ‘materiality,’ I consider three questions aimed at illuminating the balancing act between referentiality and invention performed in history writing as a genre: How can language ‘embody’ reality? How do referential texts encode reality? And, how could we read referential texts specifically with respect to reality? |

Esto implica examinar los desafíos planteados a los enfoques constructivistas de la historia tanto por los argumentos del giro post-lingüístico sobre la presencia y la experiencia como por el denomindado post-narrativismo. El foco central será presentar un argumento para actualizar la teoría de la historia ‘narrativista’ o constructivista a fin de que esta pueda lidiar con esas preocupaciones recientes. Esto requiere dedicar mayor atención a las relaciones entre autor, texto y lector, particularmente respecto de los asuntos clave relativos a la realidad, la corporalidad (embodiment) y la inmersión. Para mostrar la utilidad del acercamiento a esas relaciones en términos de ‘materialidad’, considero tres preguntas que apuntan a iluminar el acto de equilibrarentre referencialidad e invención performado en la escritura de la historia como género: ¿cómo puede el lenguaje ‘corporizar’ (embody) la realidad? ¿Cómo pueden los textos referenciales codificar la realidad? Y ¿cómo podríamos leer los textos referenciales, específicamente con respecto a la realidad?Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2019-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/152710.15848/hh.v12i31.1527História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 12 No. 31 (2019); 47-81História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 12 Núm. 31 (2019); 47-81História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 12 n. 31 (2019); 47-811983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPenghttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/1527/804Pihlainen, Kalleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-05-02T02:36:25Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/1527Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2020-05-02T02:36:25História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false |
