Indigenous Histories
Despite its international scope and its temporal breadth, the project does not take an all-encompassing nor an encyclopedic approach 鈥� quite the contrary.
In this respect, it is important to consider the meaning of the word 鈥渉ist贸rias鈥� in Portuguese, which is rather different than 鈥渉istories鈥� in English.
The term 鈥渉ist贸rias鈥� encompasses both fiction and nonfiction, historical accounts as well as personal ones, of a public and private nature, on both micro and macro levels.
In Norwegian, the term 鈥渉istorier鈥� shares a similar dual significance, signifying both an interpretation of the past and a personal narrative.
As such, these terms possess a more polyphonic, speculative, open, incomplete, processual, and fragmented quality than the traditional notion of history.
