Present Time: between operations and plots

Abstract

The focus of this article is to present a framework of discussions over the last three decades on the notions of time and present in their junction in what has been called the History of Present Time. The elaboration of the text sought approximations with the historiographic reflection that understands the History of Present Time as the study of the historical time that is lived. The operations and the plots that involved his academic constitution are the background to discuss redefinitions in the historiographic field over temporalities and periodization. It is a study conducted according to the set of issues proposed by the History of Present Time, highlighting its emergence as part of a journey that is no stranger to social experiences and to last decades’ historiographic movements
