The line, in its multiplicity, proposes historiographic approaches based on themes that express representational mobilities in contemporary history and in the present time.  Historical researches have incorporated discussions, procedures and propositions that re-affirm the political, social and cultural function of the writing of History and its critical potential in the public debate. Denaturalizing speeches, questioning legitimations and institutionalities, understanding and criticizing dynamics of silencing and invisibilities, inquiring about subjects, voices and perspectives are basic principles of the historical knowledge practiced in this line. Among its fields, it investigates the relations involving memory policies, oblivions, erasing, and re-significations, seeking to understand the act of preservation – and destruction – as connected to practices, institutions, actors, uses and clashes on the materialities and intangible dimensions of cultural assets, whether in the field of studies of heritage, or in the field of visual studies, in the dimension of intellectual and cultural history, in studies on landscapes and the conformation on public spaces and domesticity.    Such procedures are configured by governabilities, influenced by institutions, communities, construction of subjectivities, intellectual debates, protocols and sanctions of values and meanings, desires and convictions. This condensation of meanings in images, memory policies, heritages and intellectual debates instigates history and is entangled to a game of times and local, regional and global dynamics.  The questions on the contemporary world exceed the time frame and leads to the understanding of space-time themes and logics that include the present time, the flows and interconnections involving classical themes, asymmetries, homogenizations and developments of singular and collective experiences in multiple scales. It is about observing how these time relations are articulated, from which the present derives and participates, providing the study of historical temporalities and their agency. The themes in this line of research involve the social dimension of intellectual practices, the historically constituted visual representations and the reflection on the plural manifestations of heritages. The line seeks to understand the strategies of memory, the historicity of concepts and the construction of the landscape and intellectual, visual, social and cultural routes.
