Discípulos de Clio: prelúdios da pesquisa histórica

Abstract

The texts that make up this collection are, in an emblematic way, stories of women and men who fight in and for History. They are expressions of intersecting trajectories. Stories of researchers who have already followed, and continue to follow, a solid path in the universe of Clio, contributing, among other things, to the strengthening of local and national historiography. In general, the chapters gathered in this collection are the result of research carried out in the Institutional Program for Scientific Initiation (PIBIC), of different Higher Education Institutions. The compiled texts cover different specialties and present different approaches. These themes are interrelated with debates focused on the problematization of spatialities and the history of health; of History, politics and education; of gender, femininities and masculinities. The reflections on the use of various documentary sources and their analytical methodologies were skillfully guided by the theoretical framework that supported each research. In this vein, concepts and categories such as representation, body, identities, sociability, memory, urbanization, modernization, daily life, and practices are some examples of the theoretical richness that emerges in and from the selected writings. These chapters point to possibilities for understanding different subjects, spaces, and times, or rather, multiple societies. And the chapters discuss neighborhood, city, and state societies, including Piauí, Maranhão, Pernambuco, and Paraíba, without losing sight of the connections with the national context.
