No. of bitstreams: 1 TES_FLAVIA_RENATA_MACHADO_PAIANI_COMPLETO.pdf: 2115769 bytes, checksum: 4a389d2bf62931636f966884d7360eb7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-08-29 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPES / This dissertation is a critical evaluation of seven popular history books concerning nineteenth-century Brazil, published between 2006 and 2013: Condessa de Barral, O Pr?ncipe Maldito, A Carne e o Sangue, and O Castelo de Papel by Mary Del Priore, and 1808 [in English, The Flight of the Emperor: How a Weak Prince, a Mad Queen, and the British Navy tricked Napoleon and changed the New World], 1822, and 1889 by Laurentino Gomes. Priore is a Brazilian historian with academic affiliation, specialized in historical biographies in which she constructs quasi-literary historical characters. Instead, Gomes is a Brazilian journalist, best known for the great commercial success of his three books, featuring picturesque characters in a fragmented storytelling format. Thus this study aims to investigate the relationship of their works with historiography as well as the role assigned to their readership, by analyzing the text structure and its narrative elements. In this regard, the analysis develops a theoretical and historiographical discussion, in order to understand the aesthetic realm of popular history books and its epistemological implications. / Esta tese ? uma an?lise cr?tica de sete livros de divulga??o hist?rica, publicados entre 2006 e 2013, que versam sobre o Brasil do s?culo XIX: Condessa de Barral, O Pr?ncipe Maldito, A Carne e o Sangue e O Castelo de Papel, de Mary Del Priore, e 1808, 1822 e 1889, de Laurentino Gomes. Priore ? uma historiadora brasileira com filia??o acad?mica, especializada em biografias hist?ricas, nas quais ela constr?i personagens hist?ricos romanceados. Gomes, por seu turno, ? um jornalista brasileiro, mais conhecido pelo grande sucesso comercial de seus tr?s livros, nos quais ele apresenta personagens pitorescos em um formato fragmentado de contar hist?ria. Este estudo pretende, pois, investigar a rela??o das obras desses autores com a historiografia, bem como o papel atribu?do ao seu p?blico leitor a partir da an?lise da estrutura do texto e de seus aspectos narrativos. Nesse sentido, uma discuss?o te?rica e historiogr?fica ? desenvolvida na an?lise, de modo a compreender a dimens?o est?tica dos livros de divulga??o hist?rica e suas implica??es epistemol?gicas.
