Abstract(s)
A um interesse bem enraizado sobre a China e o seu passado, adiciona-se hoje uma crescente
atenção dirigida à historiografia chinesa. A partir de duas obras recentes que tomam a escrita
da história na China como objeto, procura observar-se de que modo os historiadores que aí
exerceram o seu ofício desde as primeiras décadas do século XX incorporaram, numa tradição
historiográfica milenar, as ideias e os discursos sobre a história vindos de fora. O
protagonismo é dado ao historiador imerso no seu tempo, no ato de escrever a história, e
perante as escolhas que esse tempo concreto lhe sugere ou lhe impõe.
In addition to a well-grounded interest in China and its past, an increasing attention is nowadays being paid to the Chinese historiography. Using two recent books on the writing of history in China as a starting point, this essay seeks to observe how historians, who have practiced their craft there since the first decades of the twentieth century, have incorporated foreign ideas and discourses about history into an ancient historiographical tradition. Prominence is given to the historian who, immersed in his time, has to deal with the choices that such a time suggests or imposes on his historical writing.
