Detalhes do Evento
Workshop in which participants will discuss the thinking of marginalised intellectuals about Brazil and forgotten or erased interpretations of history.
Visões Não-Canónicas do Brasil
Joint Workshop – Interpretações do Brasil
O Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Sociais da Universidade Estadual de Maringá, o Programa de Pós-graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Piauí e o Instituto de História Contemporânea da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa se reúnem para promover a segunda edição do Joint Workshop – Interpretações do Brasil – uma iniciativa que pretende debater a história da produção do conhecimento do e sobre o Brasil a partir de múltiplas perspectivas.
Nesta nova edição, participantes de diversas instituições brasileiras e portuguesas discutem o tema “Visões Não-Canónicas do Brasil“, destacando o pensamento de intelectuais “marginais” sobre o país e interpretações esquecidas ou apagadas da história. Como uma ideia ou teoria é superada e deixa de ter importância no pensamento social? Como intelectuais, periódicos ou instituições periféricas se relacionam com as instâncias dominantes de produção do conhecimento? Como circulam as interpretações produzidas nas margens do sistema universitário ou do campo cultural? Que nuances as trajectórias de intelectuais periféricos trazem para a história do pensamento social brasileiro?
Essas e outras questões serão abordadas neste workshop, a ser realizado nos dias 6 e 7 de Dezembro, online, via Zoom.
