A teoria da História se consolidou, sobretudo, após as transformações que o movimento Escola dos Annales (19291989)2 , quando houve uma série de transformações teórico- metodológicas em relação à historiografia do século XIX, transformou a maneira de compreensão histórica. A necessidade de consolidar um método mais científico, permitiu à História se transformar em ciência. Embora as principais características historiográficas que marcam o método na contemporaneidade tenham se consolidado no período de tempo citado anteriormente, suas características ainda continuam bastante presentes no século XXI.
Norteada pela intenção de construção de conhecimento teórico e histórico sobre a imagem, bem como suas aplicações por agentes históricos, a obra Imagens: Saberes & Usos é um livro Plural. Saberes e usos se aglutinam na prática da imagem, têm seus limites flexíveis e suas definições anuviadas. Não sendo o universo visual submetido ao das letras, toda operação epistemológica com imagens também é prática e gera usos. Reunindo pesquisadores de diversos campos do saber o livro encontra-se dividido em duas partes. Na primeira estão dispostas discussões sobre temas e aportes mais teóricos. A segunda parte volta seu cuidado às diferentes possibilidades e potências das imagens.
This volume provides an analysis and interpretation of the work of the most important Italian film-maker of the past thirty years and an outstanding figure in contemporary European cinema.
This important new work by Roy Wagner is about the autonomy of symbols and their role in creating culture. Its argument, anticipated in the author's previous book, The Invention of Culture, is at once symbolic, philosophical, and evolutionary: meaning is a form of perception to which human beings are physically and mentally adapted. Using examples from his many years of research among the Daribi people of New Guinea as well as from Western culture, Wagner approaches the question of the creation of meaning by examining the nonreferential qualities of symbols—such as their aesthetic and formal properties—that enable symbols to stand for themselves.
