História das “ciências humanas” e a viagem científica de Wallace na Amazônia: notas sobre ausências historiográficas
Palavras-chave:
Historiografia, História da ciência, História das ciências humanas, Wallace, Amazônia, Etnografia.Resumo
Este ensaio analisa uma bibliografia historiográfica particular com o objetivo de abordar a divergência entre história e história da ciência. Defendo que a ausência da história das ciências humanas na historiografia da ciência expande a distância entre a história da ciência e outras disciplinas dos estudos históricos. Para ponderar essa hipótese, analisarei a historiografia sobre a viagem científica de Alfred Russel Wallace na Amazônia (1848-1852), argumentando que a omissão da dimensão etnográfica dessa expedição expõe aspectos importantes para compreender a natureza da tal dissensão e seus efeitos na construção da história das ciências humanas.Referências
