Description
Summary:The encounter between anthropology and history has a great potential for rewriting Brazilian history highlighting all social actors and the power relations at play. Moreover, this interdisciplinarity can put in evidence the persistent effects of colonialism in our current society. This article aims to show, even if in a summarized way, the trajectory of the approximation between anthropology and history and the possible results drawn from this encounter, as well as to trace methodologies to make indigenous history in the city. The urban environment poses particular challenges as we are faced with specific types of archive silences. Here, I intend to discuss what kind of silences are these and possible strategies to hear the silenced voices of the urban environment in the past.
