Which Past to Choose? A Discussion on Historical Negationism and Historiographical Pluralism

Abstract

The article presents the notion of historiographical pluralism as a much-needed theoretical and political counterpoint to contemporary historical negation-ism, arguing that in our current age, negationist strategies are less based on outright empirical falsifications than in omitted representations. Thus, the article briefly analyzes an example of nega-tionism, produced by the company Brasil Paralelo, to then introduce the definition of historiographical pluralism, defending its importance for the effective fight against the negationist phenomenon.
