“O interesse por um presente que é seu”: O tempo-presente da Política Externa e os desafios para a escrita da História

“The interest in its own present”: the present time of Foreign Policy and the challenges for the writing of History

Resumo

This essay discusses some possibilities of rewriting a History of Foreign Policy in the present time, considering the meanings of rupture expressed by different actors and, at the same time, authors of the contemporary Brazilian political scene. In dialogue with the history of the present time, we point out how uncertainties and throw backs observed since 2019 stimulate new readings about the past, in a constant process of construction, reconstruction and dispute between Memory and History.
