Book, Evidence of History What Historians See[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. History is made of evidence. It is reported, written. Since Herodotus, making history has been a matter of looking and vision. See and say, write what happened and present it as it was seen, like a mirror: and this is where some of the problems that have constituted the historian's routine up to the present day lie. The numerous reformulations in modern historiography continued this work between the frontiers of the visible and the invisible, with the ambition of obtaining a real vision of things from an analytical, more comprehensive and profound perspective.. And with the end of the 20th century, this intense evidence of history begins to be questioned.. What role does the historian play from now on in the face of the “narrativist challenge”, the relevance of both the witness and the judge, at the exact moment when memory and heritage became evidence? This and other questions are analyzed in this work written by François Hartog, one of the most important French historians of today.
