IN DEFENSE (WHICH) OF HISTORY? REFLECTIONS ON POST-MODERNITY AND MARXISM FROM THE WRITING OF HISTORY.

Abstract

This article basically consists of a bibliographical discussion and review made and motivated during the last class of the discipline of Social Relations of Domination and Resistance - Bibliographic Analysis 1, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The problematic, at that moment, concerned the different ways of conceiving historical knowledge. In this sense, I favored a reflection on the writing of history, from the modernity / post-modernity debate. If the beginning of this article starts from the reading of the collection organized by Ellen Wood and John Foster, throughout the text, other authors were necessary for the reflection to deepen. Keywords: History of historiography; Historical knowledge; Story writing.
