Oral history practitioners have lately turned to conducting interviews in open spaces, challenging one of the method’s premises: that a dialogue is so much more intense and productive the more reserved the place where it takes place. In this article, I employ a number of examples of public interviews conducted by researchers based in universities and by creators who work in contiguous spaces in order to raise a few hypotheses about the impulses that lead to this methodological option. Then, I analyze two situations, both linked to the universe of public art, which contribute to the refinement of methodological reflection on the potentials and limits of public interviews and, more broadly, to the practice of oral history and public history as a whole.

Trata-se de uma recensão, pelo que não tem resumo.

Studies on policy diffusion have become more attractive and relevant as a way of understanding innovations and changes in public policy. Under this concept, we explore one of the most striking cases of institutional diffusion in Latin America: the process of transformation of Latin American universities linked to the reform movement that shook the University of Córdoba, in Argentina, during 1918. The principles of this reform inspired important institutional changes and continue to be central on the discussions about tertiary education in the region. Most of its precepts (political autonomy, student co-government, extension and social commitment) live today and are defended as fundamental pillars of the Latin American university. Thus, the main question that this article asks is: what is the contribution that the expansion of the university reform movement can make to diffusion theory? Our answer is that studying the diffusion of the Cordoba Reform allows to more deeply understand two very important dimensions in the circulation of ideas. First, the evidence allows us to delve into the role of the domestic context. The context is usually pointed out as a restriction on the diffusion process (it explains the distance between the original and the copy). However, in this case the ideational context favored the adoption of the reform. Second, historical reconstruction helps to understand more fully the role of entrepreneurs, in general, and that of a specific type of actors: activist networks, in this case, the student movement.

The History of women has highlighted the multiple experiences of women in the past, but also the plural and multifaceted character of their struggles. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th the women, feminist or not, adhered to different agendas that went beyond the claim for women’s rights such as republicanism and abolitionism. The empathy for non-human animals, victims of scientific experiments and used as guinea pigs by the industry, during this period, also led many of them to become vegetarians and join to the antivivisectionist struggle; in Brazil, feminist and anarchist intellectual Maria Lacerda de Moura was one of these women. In this article, we seek to understand her positions and her relationship with these struggles from analyze of her work Civilização Tronco de Escravos, published in 1931.

The history of Porto Alegre’s carnival, beginning of the 20th century - represented by the Esmeralda and Venetian carnival societies, is published in this article through the perspective of gender studies. As evasive women, we come to be like Marias, modest and redeeming, and are attached to the symbol of moral regeneration in carnival. The queens of the associations are allegories of this transformation. Thus, the present article aims to discuss how representations of women elaborated by the carnivalesque discourse, centered on the figure of the queen of the carnival society, when analyzing the verses given by the published associations, published in the press of the time. Discourse Analysis was used as a tool to find meaning in the social messages contained in the verses. With this study we intend to show that the history of gender relations allows us to allow supremacy resistances of power discourses of androcentric systems of representation, to show representations of women that legitimize a hierarchy of genders over time.

This work is interested in investigating and identifying the logic of sensitivities and identifications that, to some extent, explain the success of the, “chick-lit / soft porn” novels, which invaded the Brazilian publishing market from the end of the 20th century to the present day current. This literature, made by women and aimed at the target audience of female readers, flood the physical/virtual shelves of bookstores with stories full of sexual and loving relationships, often described in profuse scenic details. This research uses the best-selling mercantile category to think of sales criteria above society’s regular reading averages. The focus of analysis was centered on the idea that such best-selling literature “chick-lit / soft porn” is a producer and reproducer of some speeches about the power relations between the genders and some forms of possible sexual experiences. Thus, the naturalized textual and symbolic representations of this literature nowadays incorporate an authorized source of consumption of narratives about eroticism, pleasure and love for women.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the appropriation/impact of “counter-colonial” (SANTOS, 2018) approaches on historical research on gender relations in Brazil. Resuming the main questions that women’s history and gender studies have made do History, since the mid 1960s, and considering the importance of theoretical and epistemological contributions developed over the last decades by post colonial, subaltern, decolonial, uncolonial, south-south and global south studies, that raise a series of problems about inheritances of colonialism as hegemonic and euro-centered thought-practice subjectivity, the article intends to reflect on the possible impact/ accommodations of these issues on the spaces promoted by researchers/historians of women, gender and feminism in Brazil. Thereunto, we aim to analyse the proposals of the thematic symposia submitted to national events of the National Association of History (ANPUH), between 2001 and 2019, the main history event in Brazil, in order to discuss the effects of counter-colonial perspectives on the Brazilian historiography of gender. Discuss the effects of counter-colonial studies on the brazilian historiography of gender.
