É possível escrever a história do Brasil? o lugar da ANPUH na consolidação da historiografia acadêmica (1961-1967)

Abstract

This work will analyze the creation of the national association of university professors of history in 1961, as well as its institutional political trajectory until 1967. The general objective is to understand the place of ANPUH in the history of historiography, teaching and research in the field of Brazilian historical studies. The main sources of this research are the annals of the ANPUH symposium that were held between 1961 and 1967. It is based on the premise that the creation of ANPUH is an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of Brazilian historiography not only because it promoted the interlocution between several centers of historical knowledge production scattered in the national territory, but also by a social space of diffusion of academic historiographic culture in the 1960s. With this in mind, does this research seek to answer how this association was constructed as a space for scientific debate? And, like its political-institutional trajectory, it dealt with the context of the social reforms that guided the political life of Brazilian society at the beginning of the second half of the century XX.
