Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Historia e Cultura' serves as a platform for interdisciplinary research that explores historical narratives, cultural contexts, and their implications in various societies, particularly within Latin America. It aims to bridge the gap between historical scholarship and cultural studies through a diverse array of methodologies.
  1. Interdisciplinary Historical Analysis:
    The journal emphasizes the importance of integrating methodologies from various fields, including history, sociology, and cultural studies, to provide comprehensive insights into historical events and cultural phenomena.
  2. Focus on Latin American Contexts:
    A significant portion of the journal's content is dedicated to the historical and cultural dynamics of Latin America, examining political movements, social changes, and cultural expressions across different periods.
  3. Exploration of Gender and Identity:
    A core area of interest is the exploration of gender roles and identities throughout history, investigating how these factors influence cultural narratives and historical interpretations.
  4. Cultural Heritage and Memory Studies:
    The journal often delves into themes of cultural heritage, memory, and identity, analyzing how societies remember and represent their pasts through various mediums, including literature, art, and music.
  5. Critical Examination of Political Ideologies:
    There is a consistent focus on the examination of political ideologies, particularly fascism and integralism, and their impact on cultural and historical narratives within Latin America.
In recent years, 'Historia e Cultura' has embraced several emerging themes that reflect contemporary scholarly debates and societal concerns. These trends indicate a vibrant engagement with current issues and a rethinking of historical narratives.

    Recent publications increasingly reflect postcolonial perspectives, examining the legacies of colonialism and their ongoing impacts on contemporary cultural identities and historical interpretations.
  3. Environmental History:
    Emerging themes in environmental history are gaining traction, focusing on the interactions between humans and their environments throughout history, particularly in relation to socio-political developments.
  4. Intersections of Music and Politics:
    The exploration of music as a form of political expression and its role in shaping cultural identities has emerged as a significant trend, reflecting broader societal movements and historical contexts.
  5. Memory and Trauma Studies:
    There is an enhanced focus on memory and trauma studies, particularly concerning how societies grapple with collective memories of conflict, dictatorship, and oppression.

Declining or Waning

While 'Historia e Cultura' continues to thrive in several research areas, certain themes have shown signs of decline in recent publications. This may reflect shifting scholarly interests or the evolving landscape of historical and cultural studies.
  1. Traditional Narratives of National Histories:
    There is a noticeable decline in traditional narratives that focus solely on national histories, particularly those that do not engage with broader transnational or comparative perspectives.
  2. Classical Historical Methodologies:
    The journal has seen a reduction in the use of classical historical methodologies that prioritize chronological narratives over thematic or interdisciplinary approaches.
  3. Narrow Focus on Elite Cultural Figures:
    Research concentrating on elite cultural figures has become less prominent, with a shift towards more inclusive studies that explore marginalized voices and experiences.
  4. Static Representations of Historical Events:
    Themes that offer static or uncritical representations of historical events are less frequent, suggesting a move towards more dynamic and critical engagements with history.
