A normatização disciplinar da historiografia universitária: Francisco Iglésias e a sua tese de livre-docência

Abstract

A disciplinary code of a history research was redefined by the first historians graduated in Brazilians universities. But it didn’t happen like a revolution or a radical paradigm change. Thus, the new ways to make history e think about the discipline must be connected with the different ways to write a history text. That paper aims to analyze the Francisco Iglésias thoughts about history knowledge, the discursive potential and the reception of his academic thesis, as well as his first papers published in the 1950 ́s, to confirm and produce a disciplinary reorganization made by professional historians, in the universities. We consider that the institutional bonds manifested on his texts weren’t just a formal procedure, but a deliberated way to distinguish from others history texts produced in that time.
