Metáforas de Clio: inferências e especulações na investigação de subjetividades históricas

Abstract

In this study, we intend to discuss how the imagination and feelings of men may act in the historical field in differently ways and directions, making a reposition in the comfort history zone: the full reconstitution of the past. To address this repositioning, we will keep to what was regarded as the resurgence of metaphor for the interpretation of subjectivities in the historical text rather than its abuse. The metaphor, therefore, will be treated here as a methodological factor that operates developments and semantic substitutions, a measured deviation of the senses, of the brands present on the source’s surface. We observe, finally, that this process is nothing more than a reaction against both the research on history subjects thatinsist on reaffirming the Aristotelian principles to expose the categorical relationship between fiction and history, as against the maid abstraction in subjectivities semantically distant of the you respective source. Its historical object reaction can be seen with the initial advancement of cultural history studies in the last quarter of the last century, with the north figures such as Roger Chartier, Paul Ricoeur and Sandra Pesavento.
