Abstract

FERNANDEZ CASTRO, Roberto. Silvio Zavala and the american historiography. A life of intellectual links. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2018, n.155, pp.33-55.  Epub Feb 28, 2022. ISSN 2663-371X.  https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.155.2018.287.

The aim of the author is to propose an assessment of Silvio Zavala's intellectual career, but this time characterized as part of his institutional life, not only through the numerous positions he assumed as founder and director of journals, commissions and research centers, but also as part of circles of intellectuals who, mainly in Mexico, but also in many countries of America, created the first professional "societies of thought" in historical studies. This implies that the approach, instead of being sociological, aspires to apply to the field of history of historiography a hermeneutics of place, action and the articulation of writing, publication, circulation and appropriation of stories.

Keywords : Silvio Zavala; Historiography; America; Intellectual history; Hermeneutics.
