Abstract

Frederick Jackson Turner (1861-1932) foi um dos mais importantes historiadores norte-americanos do século XX. Através de sua atuação na academia, institucionalizou-se o estudo da chamada "história-problema", em que a disciplina deveria fornecer a compreensão do presente através da análise do passado. Defensor do caráter presentista da História e de um relativismo moderado, Turner estabeleceu vários dos pressupostos que se tornariam padrões nas universidades dos Estados Unidos, como o estudo das "forças invisíveis" que ritmam e determinam o processo histórico e da grande massa de seres humanos anônimos que ajudaram a construir a democracia em terras americanas.Frederick Jackson Turner (1861-1932) was one of the most important American historians of the twentieth-century. Through his influence in the academy, the study of the so-called "problem-oriented-history" was institutionalized, on the basis that the discipline should provide a greater understanding of the present through the analysis of the past. Defender of the presentist character of History and of a bland relativism, Turner established some of the postulates that would become standards in the universities of the United States, such as the study of the "invisible forces" that shape and determine the historical process and of the great mass of anonymous human beings that helped to build democracy on American soil.
