Tendo como ponto de partida o solo comum da Teoria, os textos reunidos apontam para as áreas mais diversas, como a Didática, a Historiografia do cinema, a Teoria Cultural, os Estudos sobre memória e também sobre religião. Entende-se que, além das questões que constituem a Teoria da História como campo metateórico há, por assim dizer, questões intrateóricas concernentes aos dilemas bastante específicos de cada campo de pesquisa. Em Teoria da história e História da historiografia o fator em comum dos textos apresentados pode ser delineado em torno da preocupação com a afirmação do campo teórico como instância diversificada em que se busca, a um só tempo, o embasamento teórico e o horizonte metodológico, que o cotidiano de pesquisa não permite perder de vista.
As questões da pós-verdade como resultados da disseminação das fake news responsáveis pela desinformação têm sido amplamente estudadas em nível nacional e internacional com ênfase nos malefícios que provocam na opinião pública, na cidadania e especialmente nos processos democráticos sadios. Os estudos teóricos, as denúncias críticas e as ações concretas como formas de combate têm sido tão volumosos quanto é pernicioso o inimigo a ser combatido. De fato, não se pode negar que nos encontramos nos fogos cruzados de uma guerra simbólica inédita, na qual as armas discursivas e as estratégias de ação do passado não surtem mais os efeitos esperados. Diante disso, cultivar, como nunca antes, a busca da verdade pode ser um modo eficaz de transformação da realidade. Este livro procurou fazer uma semeadura para esse cultivo.

A new history of Brazil told through the lens of the often-overlooked interior regions. In colonial Brazil, observers frequently complained that Portuguese settlers appeared content to remain “clinging to the coastline, like crabs.” From their perspective, the vast Brazilian interior seemed like an untapped expanse waiting to be explored and colonized. This divide between a thriving coastal area and a less-developed hinterland has become deeply ingrained in the nation’s collective imagination, perpetuating the notion of the interior as a homogeneous, stagnant periphery awaiting the dynamic influence of coastal Brazil. The Interior challenges these narratives and reexamines the history ...
