Description

Abstract:: In Portugal, twentieth-century history has benefited from greater public visibility and recognition, boosting the publishing industry and enjoying a regular presence in the media. Despite this popularity, little attention has been paid to the dynamics of history teaching and research at higher education institutions, especially at the PhD level. This article attempts to provide a broad overview of the PhD dissertations defended at Portuguese universities between 2010 and 2018. Presented under the scope of the considerable number of PhD programs offered by different universities, these theses are characterized by the diversity of the methods applied, the different areas of expertise and the range of topics covered. Despite the limitations of our inquiry, we hope to present some clues for a broader and deeper understanding of recent trends in Portuguese historiography.; Em Portugal, a história do século XX tem beneficiado de grande visibilidade e reconhecimento público, impulsionando a indústria editorial e desfrutando de uma presença regular nos meios de comunicação social. Apesar desta popularidade, tem-se dado pouca atenção à dinâmica da investigação e do ensino da História nas instituições de ensino superior, especialmente no nível do 3.º ciclo. Este artigo procura fornecer uma visão de conjunto das dissertações de doutoramento defendidas nas universidades portuguesas entre 2010 e 2018. Apresentadas no âmbito do considerável número de programas de doutoramento oferecidos por diferentes universidades, essas teses caracterizam-se pela diversidade dos métodos adoptados, das áreas de especialização em que se desenvolvem e pela variedade de temas abordados. Apesar das limitações da nossa análise, esperamos lançar pistas para uma compreensão mais ampla e profunda das tendências recentes da historiografia portuguesa.
