Abstract

The article initially discusses some of Capistrano de Abreu's biographical data that have contributed to the innovative position he has achieved in the Brazilian historiography. It also examines his relationship with Varnhagen and the IHGB, his theoretical-methodological hesitation between positivism and historicism, and his new point of view on the Brazilian history wich was called "rediscovery of Brazil". It summarizes and analyses his work "Capítulos de História Colonial" (Chapters of Colonial History), trying to apprehend its methodological and political attainment and concludes with reflections on the historical temporality of Brazil, according to his innovative perspective, that enphasizes the rupture of the Lusitanian tradition and the option for a Brazilian future.
