Brazilian and international public history: its development in time and possible consensus and dissensions

Abstract

From the Brazilian and international discussion, mainly Anglo-Saxon, this article analyzes practices and conceptual unfoldings of Public History – since its inception, accepted here the year of 1976 by the text of Robert Kelley, “The Public History Its origins, nature and prospects”, until the second decade of the 2000s, in order to achieve some attempts to define the field of Public History already reasonably consolidated in part of the international literature compared to the recent discussion of Brazilian literature, aiming at possible consensus and dissensions about what brand the field and its specificity in some national realities.
