Description
- Abstract:
- In this paper, I focus on the profound changes that have taken place over the last thirty years regarding the way in which historians approach Hapsburg Portugal (1580-1640), and highlight the important contribution made by António Manuel Hespanha in this matter. The way in which the period has been subjected to a process of historical resignification is described against a background of nationalist preconceptions. I also offer a perspective for the future study of Iberian history in the light of the current debate on the chronologies and timescales of historical analysis.
- Apresentação da profunda transformação que ocorreu nos últimos trinta anos sobre o Portugal Habsburgo (1580-1640), destacando o magistério de António Manuel Hespanha nessas alterações. Descreve-se o processo de ressignificação histórica do referido período em relação às formas de pré-conhecimento nacionalistas. Esboça-se, igualmente, uma reflexão sobre o futuro dos estudos de história ibérica perante o actual debate sobre as escalas e as cronologias da análise histórica.
