    Considering some episodes from the early 18th to the late 20th century, this essay intends first to suggest the lasting tension that the historiographical praxis – in the process of asserting itself along with the contemporary world – has absorbed between an increasingly high level of specialization demanded by the professional drive of the field in the West, and the role that the subject has taken over as knowledge to guide large and diversified strata of the population in life. Secondly, it intends to discuss the place that history has come to occupy in Brazil, considering on the one hand the exponential increase in the number of graduate programs and, on the other, the shortcomings of the historical conscience that the country seems to have developed. In order to attain these goals, the paper draws heavily upon arguments extracted from Philippe Ariès’ The time of history [1954], an otherwise underrated book.Considerando alguns episódios desde o final do século XVII e início do XVIII até as últimas décadas do XX, este ensaio procura sugerir, primeiramente, a permanente tensão que a prática historiográfica, ao constituir-se em paralelo ao mundo contemporâneo, absorveu entre a crescente especialização exigida pela profissionalização do campo no Ocidente e o papel que a disciplina adquiriu como conhecimento destinado a orientar amplos e diversificados estratos da população para a vida. Em seguida, pretende discutir o lugar que a história ocupa hoje em dia no Brasil, diante do crescimento exponencial, de um lado, dos programas de pós-graduação; e, do outro, da fragilidade da consciência histórica que o país parece ter desenvolvido. Para tanto, recorre em particular aos argumentos de Philippe Ariès, O tempo da história [1954], livro muito pouco valorizado entre nós

    HĂĄ muitos anos, em minhas aulas de teoria e metodologia da histĂłria, utilizo a cĂłpia de um manuscrito sobre a Bahia conservado na Biblioteca Nacional (RJ), mas sem assinatura nem data. Se uma citação de LuĂ­s Henrique Dias Tavares identifica o autor como Miguel AntĂŽnio de Melo, de passagem por Salvador em 1797, diversas coincidĂȘncias, ao longo desses anos, e algumas pesquisas esporĂĄdicas permitiram traçar as linhas gerais da trajetĂłria desse nobre, 1 ° conde de MĂșrcia (1826), que foi governador de Angola ( 1797-1802) e dos Açores (1806-1810), alĂ©m de presidente do Real ErĂĄrio em 1825. Assim, o presente trabalho pretende anunciar o inĂ­cio de uma anĂĄlise de suas idĂ©ias, de modo a salientar o papel de alguns indivĂ­duos - nĂŁo sĂł nascidos na AmĂ©rica, mas tambĂ©m em Portugal - que ocuparam um lugar excĂȘntrico no impĂ©rio portuguĂȘs de fins do sĂ©culo XVIII e inĂ­cios do XIX por conta das linguagens ilustradas a que sabiam recorrer

    Guardar mais silĂȘncio do que falar: Ribeiro dos Santos contra Azeredo Coutinho

    Na perspectiva das linguagens políticas proposta por J. G. A. Pocock, confronta-se o parecer desfavoråvel (1806) do censor António Ribeiro dos Santos à publicação da Anålise sobre a justiça do resgate dos escravos da costa da África com as idéias de seu autor, o bispo José Joaquim Azeredo Coutinho, a fim de salientar as diversas correntes de pensamento presentes na Iluscração luso-brasileira, em termos políticos como religiosos

    IndĂ©pendance au BrĂ©sil et LumiĂšres au Portugal : politique et culture dans l’espace luso-brĂ©silien (1792-1823)

    DĂšs 1772, des natifs de l’AmĂ©rique portugaise eurent des contacts avec les LumiĂšres Ă  CoĂŻmbra et occupĂšrent des postes au Portugal et dans ses possessions d’outre-mer. Si la chute de Pombal en 1777 ne causa pas un vrai changement d’orientation politique, la noblesse traditionnelle reprit assez de pouvoir pour contraindre le souverain. Cependant, ce fut la prĂ©sence de Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho au Cabinet du prince rĂ©gent JoĂŁo qui assura l’action rĂ©formatrice la plus inspirĂ©e des LumiĂšres. En 1803, l’option diplomatique prise par la couronne portugaise le contraignit Ă  quitter ce poste jusqu’à ce que les pressions de Bonaparte se traduisent par l’invasion du royaume portugais et le dĂ©part de la Cour pour Rio de Janeiro. En dĂ©pit de ces bouleversements, la politique resta confinĂ©e Ă  l’espace privĂ© et la religion demeura la forme dominante de structuration du monde. Dans ces conditions, malgrĂ© une importante circulation de pamphlets et de pĂ©riodiques aux idĂ©es libĂ©rales, l’IndĂ©pendance du BrĂ©sil en 1822, conduite par l’hĂ©ritier du trĂŽne lusitanien lui-mĂȘme, se limita Ă  une dispute avec le Portugal pour l’hĂ©gĂ©monie Ă  l’intĂ©rieur de l’empire, mais lĂ©gua nĂ©anmoins des tensions profondes au nouveau pays.Beginning in 1772, the natives of Portuguese America had contacts with the Enlightenment in Coimbra, and held posts in Portugal and its overseas possessions. If the fall of Pombal in 1777 did not cause an actual change in political conduct, the traditional nobility recovered enough power to restrain the sovereign. But it was the presence of Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho in the cabinet of the Prince regent JoĂŁo that guaranteed the most inspired reforms of the Enlightenment. In 1803, the diplomatic decision taken by the Portuguese crown compelled him to leave his post until the pressure of Bonaparte manifested itself in the invasion of the Kingdom of Portugal and the departure of the court for Rio de Janeiro. Despite these upheavals, politics remained a narrowly private affair and religion continued as the dominant perception of the world. In fact, for all the widespread circulation of pamphlets and journals containing liberal ideas, the independence of Brazil in 1822, led by the successor to the portuguese throne himself, was limited to a dispute with Portugal for the hegemony of the interior of the empire ; yet it still bequeathed deep political tensions to the new country
