Abstract

The considerations addressed in this work aim to understand the discussions regarding the social-ethical standards from historians as professionals, as well as the social and "repairing" relevance that the study of historiographical themes based on traumatic episodes can have to researchers and to the society affected by the events studied by them. Moreover, it is intended to consider which theoretical and methodological consequences bring about the discussion of social-ethical standards from historians and the social and "amending" relevance (therapeutic function) that the study of negative traumatic episodes may have. Therefore, two elements arise: the uses (responsible) and misuses (irresponsible) of history and historians ethics. In relationship with these axiological issues, the potencial impact of values systems from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in the adoption of a code of ethics for the historians proposed by Antoon de Baets is also herein debated.

As reflexões deste trabalho procuram compreender as discussões dos padrões ético-sociais do historiador enquanto profissional, bem como a relevância social e ”•restauradora”– que o estudo de temas historiográficos baseados em episódios traumáticos pode ter para os pesquisadores e para a(s) sociedade(s) atingida(s) pelos eventos estudados por estes. Além disso, intenta-se considerar quais as consequências teóricas e metodológicas que acarretam na conjunção da discussão dos padrões ético-sociais do historiador e na relevância social e ”•reparadora”– (função terapêutica) que pode ter o estudo de episódios negativos, traumáticos. Desta forma, dois elementos surgem: os usos (responsáveis) e maus usos (irresponsáveis) da história, e a ética dos historiadores. Equidistante a estas questões axiológicas, intenta-se debater o potencial impacto dos sistemas de valores da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos(DUDH) na  adoção de um código de ética para os historiadores proposto por Antoon De Baets.
