  History and polemics: historiographical debates and the public space

  Ever since history became an academic knowledge, historiographical debates have been exceptional moments of construction, condensation and dissensus, often resulting in historiographical turns. Controversies around specific themes have divided entire fields of knowledge production, bringing into light different, often contrasting conceptions, methodologies and practices of historical knowledge. Such debates were, at the same time, moments in which the description and interpretation of the past represented a public intervention in the present, in which the defense of a certain way of making sense of history was also a way of taking of sides in a specific contemporary political discussion. Historiographical polemics were therefore moments in which historiographical knowledge had to confront in the public space other approaches to the past, thus making visible, and challenging, the paradigms that rule the historical discipline and public history.

  Estudos wittgensteinianos

  Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), filósofo austríaco, naturalizado britânico, foi um dos principais atores da virada linguística na filosofia do século XX. Suas principais contribuições foram feitas nos campos da lógica, filosofia da linguagem, filosofia da matemática e filosofia da mente. Muitos o consideram o filósofo mais importante do século passado. O Grupo Luso-Brasileiro de Estudos Wittgensteinianos (GRULBEW) organiza um colóquio anual luso-brasileiro sobre Wittgenstein, que este ano terá lugar em Lisboa, dias 9 e 10 de julho.
