Description
Summary:This article aims to problematize the notions of culture and languages in the interior of contemporary historiography, from an interdisciplinary approach. For that reason, two moments are proposed: first, by analyzing the appropriation of the concept of culture operated by the New Cultural History, identifying its limits and weights; secondly, by proposing a possible path to the debate in the core of humanities from the notion of languages collected in cultural and post-structuralism studies. Finally, it is recognized the importance of structuralistic and economistic models in the mid-twentieth century, but it is evaluated that the New Cultural History seems to have the most appropriate tools to analyze the problems emerged in the contemporary age.
