Revista do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro, Rio de Janeiro, v. 173, n. 456, p. 153-176, jul./set. 2012.0101-4366http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/13443This article analyzes the “Diário de Brasilia”, that integrates the Coleção Brasilia, focusing on its ambition to reconstruct, in 1960, the Brazil- ian past through a historiographical narrative. In its organization there is a memory project, explicitly directed towards the future. I identify four of its functions, from which the organizers of the “Diário” sought to crystallize the “cor- rect interpretation” of the construction of the new capital, assuming that that period was a moment of mobilization of national forces and expectations ready for action. Thus, the docu- mentation anchored by an institutional inter- est to conceive the legitimate history about the construction process of the new Nation capital inverts and corrupts the relationship between experience and expectation, projecting the ex- pectations of the present towards the past rather than the future. This present is no longer the privileged locus of articulation among histori- cal periods, but rather an inflexion point where- in the past and the future coincide in the same political project.porAcesso AbertoNarrativaBrasíliaTempo históricoUso do passadoNarrativeBrasiliaHistorical timeUse of the pastArtigo
