APRESENTAÇÃO

Abstract

We are pleased to announce another issue of Embornal, with the dossier Clio on Divã: On Theory of History and Historiography. In Brazil, discussions around the theory of history and the history of historiography have received numerous contributions over the past few years, which has enabled, among other issues, more substantial and in-depth theoretical and methodological elaborations of problems essential to the historian's profession, in addition to greater historiographical awareness. There is an increasing emphasis on the discussion, understanding and operationalization of concepts; likewise, the theoretical and methodological devices used in the construction of historical knowledge have been renewed and analyzed with more care. All of this is reflected in a certain autonomy both in theory and in the history of historiography, which requires specifying space in Clio's research for reflective exercise relevant to the aforementioned issues.
