| Resumo: | This study focuses on the classic theme of tensions, encounters, disagreements and reunions between history and memory and is guided by some of the reflections developed by Michael Pollak, Pierre Nora and Jacques Le Goff. The analysis focuses on four conferences of the Capistrano de Abreu Course, an event promoted by the Brazilian Historical and Geographic Institute (IHGB) in 1953, the centenary year of the birth of the honored author. The Course was completed with a series of conferences given by intellectual authorities from the Brazilian academic and political scene. This article investigates some of the rhetorical forms used by four of the Course's lecturers in order to create a totalizing memory picture of Capistrano de Abreu as a model of an excellent historian. It appears that the speeches analyzed are memory efforts. As such, they generate effects of totalizing the image of Capistrano de Abreu under the label of historian. This also results in the hierarchization of the areas of knowledge to which Capistrano devoted himself. In this hierarchy constructed by memorialistic rhetoric, History takes the main place as a catalyst for the existence of the Capistrano man. All other areas of knowledge, with emphasis on geography, literature, ethnography and linguistics, are placed on a secondary level. |
