Brazilian Hamlet: Essay on Linguistic Turn and Historiographical Indeterminacy (1970-1980)

Abstract

This essay aims to analyze the first developments of the linguistic turn in the Brazilian historiography. Considering the shortage of research in this field, I have chosen to make, first of all, a brief description of the emergence of the linguistic turn in general terms and, then, an analysis of some primary texts of Brazilian authors that relate, in different ways, to this theme.

Keywords

• Linguistic turn
