| Sumario: | In historiographic discourses, the use of theatrical metaphors is frequent, in such a way that in the narration of a story a stage is defined, actors are identified and an argument is presented. This text proposes an inquiry into the way in which different authors used this type of metaphor and went even further, using dramatic resources or conceiving the world as theater. Two differentiated traditions are presented: that of a critical theory represented by Marx and Benjamin, and that of social history and historical sociology, with names such as Tilly, Steinberg, Thompson, Zemon Davis and Samuel. This review allows us to postulate the possibility of theatrical approaches that collaborate in the construction of narrative explanations and facilitate new ways of writing history. The article concludes with some examples of the possibilities of application, regarding the historiographical object of the author. |
