Marieta de Moraes Ferreira awarded Michel Marie Le Ven Award from the Associação Brasileira de História Oral

From ABHO

A ABHO tem enorme prazer em comunicar o nome da vencedora do Prêmio Michel Marie Le Ven de Reconhecimento em História Oral, instituído em 2022 e outorgado pela primeira vez.

Professora, pesquisadora, historiadora, escritora, editora e primeira presidente da ABHO, Marieta de Moraes Ferreira é uma referência intelectual e profissional incontornável para todos os praticantes de história oral no Brasil. Enquanto professora da UFRJ e do CPDOC/FGV, Ferreira envidou desde os anos 1990 esforços pessoais e coletivos em favor do amadurecimento dos debates sobre história oral, no âmbito da história do tempo presente, bem como de seu estabelecimento e afirmação institucional como uma área interdisciplinar.

Participou das primeiras discussões que levaram à fundação da ABHO, da qual foi presidente e vice-presidente, além de membro de diferentes comitês ao longo das gestões. Teve papel indispensável na articulação da história oral feita no Brasil com a comunidade internacional, participando de várias conferências nacionais e internacionais, inclusive da conferência de Gotemburgo, em 1996, na qual foi criada a IOHA, da qual foi vice-presidente e presidente.

Não menos impressionante é a produção intelectual consistente e incessante de Ferreira, que inclui artigos e ensaios que contribuíram enormemente para o processo de legitimação do trabalho com fontes orais em diferentes disciplinas, e que persistem amparando teórica e conceitualmente a prática da história oral. Coube a Ferreira, ainda, a co-organização de uma das publicações mais influentes no país, o volume Usos e abusos da história oral, apenas um dos diversos livros por ela assinados.

A atual gestão da ABHO tem o prazer de contar com a participação de Ferreira no comitê editorial da revista História Oral e no grupo de trabalho Memória da ABHO, o que atesta seu compromisso duradouro com a área e com a associação.

Por essas razões, temos o enorme prazer de convidar a professora Marieta de Moraes Ferreira a receber o Prêmio durante o “XVI Encontro Nacional de História Oral: Pandemia e Futuros Possíveis”, que acontecerá de 25 a 28 de julho de 2022.

The book A arte romanesca do ator: Constantin Stanislavski na cultura do romance, by Prof. Henrique Guimarães got a Specialist Publication Accolate at the ICAS BOOK PRIZE 202.

They jury members wrote

“This is a robust, careful and innovative book. Certainly one of the best written texts submitted to the ICAS-Sephis prize in 2021. The publication is a contribution to the history of theater and art in general. In order to advance in what he calls a cultural history of theatrical practices, Henrique Gusmão revisits the work of the Russian director Constantin Stanilavski, resuming his contributions to a movement to redefine the work of this actor and the kind of theater he represents, as the son of the modern novel in early 20th century. In addition to the field of theater, Gusmão’s erudition allows him to explore the influence of literature in the emergence of new, less conventional relations between the text and the scene. Although the field of studies on Asia in Anglophone, Germanophilic or Francophone contexts does not always include studies on Russia, the committee considered the unique quality of this work and its relevance to the field in Portuguese and Spanish.”
