HISTORY, MEMORY AND SOCIAL IMAGINARIES

    The research line History, Memory and Social Imaginaries aims to problematize the elaboration of history as a form of knowledge and as narrative. Memory is the ordering of consciousness and the raw material of history. It is about problematizing the relationship between memory and history. This line of research proposes to analyze the formation, diffusion and appropriation of repertories of images and discourses in different historical spaces and times. The supports of these images and discourses are found in several languages: verbal, written, gestural, iconographic and symbolic, defining ethnic, gender and power relations. Memories and social imaginaries are interconnected to the extent that both configure influential representations in the definition of social identities.

BORDERS, INTERCULTURALITIES AND HISTORY TEACHING

    This line has as its axis the cultural dimension of history. It articulates cultural, material and symbolic elements under which a society or individual lives and reflects on its relationship with the world and with others.  It seeks the meanings given by the actors in action, from a complex relationship between event and structure, where history is organized culturally and in different ways, once the meanings are reassessed when put into practice. Interculturality considers how different cultures think and conceive their actions, temporalities and the other. It takes advantage of the dynamism of cultures and traditions and the dynamic approach of local knowledge, emphasizing the agency of subaltern groups, emphasizing cultural circularity, with studies that admit complex and interdisciplinary knowledge from multiple epistemologies and multiple knowledges. Its fields: historical education studies and history teaching in an intercultural perspective, production and historical learning, teaching methodologies in art and image history, ethnohistories and identities, ethnoracial relations and environmental history.

IDEAS, KNOWLEDGE AND WRITINGS FROM (AND IN) HISTORY

    This line of research privileges the studies of the problems inherent to the production processes, the forms of presentation and the functions of historical knowledge. Themes of an epistemological, theoretical-methodological and/or historiographic nature are highlighted, including debates on historiographic paradigms, philosophies of history, historical writings and narratives, uses of the past, historicity, in addition to the space-time dimensions of historical knowledge. In addition to the eminently theoretical focus, the research line also incorporates research on objects and themes in the fields of Intellectual History, History of Intellectuals, History of Thought, History of Ideas (Political, Social, Scientific, Philosophical, etc.), Conceptual History, as well as History of Science and Knowledge.

 POWER, SERTÃO AND IDENTITES

    This line of research brings together research projects that articulate socio-economic dynamics, power relations and political and institutional practices, as well as socio-cultural movements and practices. It also includes the study and critique of colonization and modernization processes in Latin America, particularly in Brazil and the Midwest region.  It includes studies on discursive, imagetic and sound sets in which nation-sertão and country-city representations are present, linking the regional issue to the relations between space and society and the constitution of regional identities.
