Description

Abstract:: The present paper provides a critical overview of the 36 medieval history dissertations concluded at Portuguese universities between 2010 and 2018. Their comparatively modest numbers (825 theses were completed in history) show the low productivity of the country’s PhD programs in medieval history. Their small numbers notwithstanding, this crop of dissertations can be considered innovative: they brought forth research issues that were not a priority for earlier historiographical generations. Also, the themes studied were well integrated with international research trends on medieval history.; Este artigo apresenta uma síntese crítica das 36 dissertações em história medieval defendidas nas universidades portuguesas entre 2010 e 2018. O seu número relativamente modesto (foram defendidas 825 teses em história) revela a reduzida produtividade dos programas doutorais em história medieval. Ainda que diminuto, este conjunto de dissertações pode ser considerado inovador. A maior parte dos doutorados não se limitou a replicar os modelos das décadas anteriores, antes contribuiu com temas de pesquisa que não eram prioritários para os historiadores da geração anterior. Do mesmo modo, os assuntos estudados estão bem alinhados com as tendências internacionais dentro do campo da história medieval.
