Excerpt:
The book is one of the outputs of a series of international encounters of scholars in the framework of the topic “Women’s History at the Cutting Edge”, launched by Karen Offen and Chen Yan. A roundtable in Jinan, Shandong Province, in 2015, and a symposium in Rome, in 2018, have been occasions for debating several themes concerning the achievements of women’s and gender history (WGH) over the past two decades, the relationship between women’s history and historical studies, and that between gender studies and critical studies of colonialism, empire and racialisation. In 2018, a book edited by Chen Yan and Karen Offen with the same title (but without the subtitle “an Italian perspective”) was published by Routledge. These two scholars also published the article “Women’s History at the Cutting Edge” on Women’s History Review. These references are included here for purposes of bibliographical clarification, and to underline the articulation of the debate and the global interest on the issue in recent years.
As explained in the introduction, the topic – the Italian road toward the institutionalisation of women’s studies – has developed through vivid confrontations (also expressed in antithetical stances) and scholars have long since reflected on the achievements and weaknesses of women’s history. Indeed, in 2003, Anna Rossi-Doria – to whose memory the book is dedicated – asked “What’s the status of women’s history in Italy?”, underlining the coexistence of two contradictory processes: on the one hand, the scientific acknowledgement and self-legitimation of women’s history, and, on the other, the lack of consensus on the place this field occupies within Italian academic contexts.

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.
