Abstract

This article aims to present a brief overview of historiography, focusing especially in the approaches denominated the Annales School and the New Cultural History to subsequently analyze in more details the development of the concepts of mentality and imaginary. In this perspective, seeks to demonstrate how the debates about the limitations and contributions of the concept of mentality contributed to development more precise definitions in the concept of imaginary. Were used as a foundation for a theory discussion the reflections of Baczko (1985), Burke (1997, 2005), Chartier (1991, 2006, 2009), Ginzburg (2001, 2006), Hunt (1992), Le Goff (1976), Patalagean (1998) and Pesavento (1995, 2003).
