A dialética em questão: considerações teórico-metodológicas sobre a historiografia contemporânea

Abstract

This article analyses the theoretical and methodological aspects of contemporary historiography, focusing on dialectics as its major issue. Departing from Emília Viotti's outstanding text "A dialética invertida", in which a synthesis between structuralist and post-modern perspectives is proposed, as its point of departure, I argue that a certain marxist tradition have never failed in putting into practice the essential synthesis of the dialectical method.
