The article analyzes how relevant issues regarding Paraguay's condition after the Triple Alliance War (1870–1876) were used as a tool in political fight between nationalists and autonomists during Argentinean presidential campaign of 1873 and 1874. It mentions that the conflict, Paraguay's occupation and remained issues from that incident were used by autonomist faction as a strategy in the electoral local fight against nationalism; and newspapers from Buenos Aires have been consulted, once they were the main channel of political debates and promoters of representations.

The article aims to analyze the political uses of Elisa Lynch, who had an affective relationship with the Paraguayan president Francisco Solano López and was an important character in the Triple Alliance War (1864-1870). A central episode in the History of Paraguay, the war and its main characters were thoroughly studied. It was not different with Lynch: her trajectory was reconstructed in several biographical works. Characterized, at the end of the conflict, as a vile and manipulative woman, in the 20th century, during the Stroessner regime, Elisa Lynch was elevated as national heroine, along with her partner. This research reflects on the potential political interests behind this rehabilitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the first decade of independent existence, Guyana went through a phase of alignment with the US and another phase of socialism. In this article, I analyze the Brazilian diplomatic documentation produced at the Itamaraty, signed by the foreign ministers and dispatched with their respective presidential generals, in order to problematize the foreign policy of Guyana and its search for better paths of international insertion. It is an unpublished documentation, precious way to understand the history of that country. I conclude that, with autonomy in alignment with the US, Brazil was able to face Guyana in a professional manner, ensuring the maintenance of its sovereignty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the theoretical and methodological perspective, in the present paper we intend to contribute with the debates pertinent to the History of the historiography of the brazilian Seventh Art. We problematize hermeneutically the book Classic historiography of Brazilian movie: methodology and pedagogy (1995) by the movie critic Jean-Claude Bernardet. We take into consideration the reflections of Michel de Certeau (2007) on the social, political, economic and cultural place of historians, especially one of its primordial elements, the "not said", as well the proposals of the German theorist Jörn Rüsen (2010) regarding the hermeneutic method applied in the production of historical knowledge.

The main objective of this text will be to reconstitute the process of institutionalization of university teaching of History at the University of Paraná (current Federal University of Paraná) between 1938 and 1971, emphasizing the process of curricular change that the Geography and History course has undergone until they became autonomous in the early 1960s. Between 1938 and 1961, the History course was unified to that of Geography, a process similar to what happened in São Paulo (University of São Paulo) and Rio de Janeiro (University of Brazil, current Federal University of Rio de Janeiro). The sources that supported this research were the Yearbooks of the FFCL/UFPR, the diaries and classbooks, and the Minutes of the History course. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article assesses the historiography on political exiles in the social context of southern Latin American dictatorships. It is referenced on three works published between 2007 and 2013, and aims to highlight the most used ways with which historians inserted and gave visibility to the subject of exile in their agenda from the perception and (re)discovery of the magnitude of the events. Respecting that, it carries out a debate around the following proposing guidelines: how the referenced works helped to consolidate the "exile" object concerning a systematic pattern of interpretation; and which ways were used to formalize an interdisciplinary and transnational network of scholars whose experience with the problematic of research showed to be fundamental to renew theme-related theoretical, historiographical and methodological meanings. The article concludes that such interventions ended to give a status of heuristic legitimacy to the investigations about the exiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims at analyzing the approaches taken on the participation and importance of the leaders Farrapos in the 1957 Revolt in the Southwest of Paraná, which resulted in the defeat of the land companies and the government of Moysés Lupion who practiced land fraud in the lands of the Missões lands and part of Chopim territories. In the historical approaches of the revolt, the exaltation of the urban leaders who operated from 1951 to October 1957, as well as in the aftermath of the lupionista defeat, prevailed as they became political leaders and considered "heroes" of the October 1957 uprising, because the victory would have occurred without the shedding of blood. However, the references of the Farrapos leaders in the frontier area with Argentina, especially of Pedro Santin, were in the background or as a negative example to be followed and recalled.

The results of a research project developed between 2014-2020 related to the didactic narratives of history in Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay and relevant to the Guerra Guasu content (1864-1870) are presented. Although there has been a significant historiographical advance on the subject, these narratives have a traditional, descriptive profile, with a focus on the achievements of those considered as "great men". In the case, above all, of the Brazilian narratives, different categories of historical sources were incorporated, however the subordinate subjects listed for this analysis: women, children, indigenous people and the freed and enslaved blacks remain invisible by the writing of an official didactic narrative and that reverberates the canons of the winner.

This work explores the representations of women in a selection of textbooks used in Paraguayan schools during the period 1989-2020, with the aim of analyzing the historical role attributed to women in school stories about the War of the Triple Alliance. (1864-1870). It is argued that despite the process of reviewing the school curriculum and educational policy initiated with the democratic transition in 1989, the hegemonic representations of women linked to nationalism persist, consolidating traditional gender roles within the framework of a patriarchal society.

This article analyses how and why the Guasu War or the Triple Alliance War remains in the memory of Paraguayans as part of their national identity. Starting from the idea that Paraguay had to go through a process of symbolic reconstruction after the defeat of 1870, the different resignifications of the myths consecrated by the revisionists throughout the 20th century are analyzed, in order to identify how these myths permeated political and cultural practices.
