Resumo:
This thesis aims to present and analyze quantitative and qualitative data on the reception of decolonial thought in Brazilian historiography. To this end, a total of 46 academic works (theses, dissertations, and articles) defended and published between 2016 and 2023 were cataloged. The CAPES catalog of theses and dissertations was used as a database, as well as the websites of journals in the field of History. To deepen the theme analyzed here, four subcategories were created that cover topics such as: decoloniality, History Theory and History of historiography; decoloniality and the teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian History; decoloniality and the teaching of Indigenous History; and decoloniality and gender issues. These sub-themes are central to understanding decolonial studies in Brazilian historiography. The thesis we present here is that the reception of colonial debates in the field of history in Brazil has generated a Brazilian-style decoloniality. This Brazilian-style decoloniality is defined as a meta-concept because, on the one hand, of its semantic openness, and its potential to aggregate plural experiences and epistemes, but also because of its multiple forms of operationalization. On the other hand, the definition of Brazilian decoloniality as a metaconcept is also due to the observation of a tendency for the political character of decoloniality to be emptied, due to Brazil's academic tradition. Finally, the thesis of Brazilian-style decoloniality unfolds in another thesis, which consists of the assertion that the main field of action and development of the academic-political project of decoloniality in the field of History in Brazil is History Teaching, something that could be seen from the analysis of the work developed in the Professional Master's Degree Programs in History, ProfHistória.
