O artigo acadêmico na cultura disciplinar da área de História: um olhar sociorretórico para as seções de Considerações Finais e de Referência

Abstract

This article aims to describe how the disciplinary culture in the area of History produces and comprises the rhetorical sections of Final Considerations and References in academic articles. For this purpose, we rely on the conceptions of genres postulated by Swales (1990) and his methodological proposal CARS (Create a Research Space). Regarding the assumptions about disciplinary culture, we have the theoretical contributions of Hyland (2000; 2009) and Bhatia (2004). Our research, of exploratory descriptive nature, presents a corpus of thirty academic articles, distributed in four journals in the area of History, with stratification A1 according to WebQualis Capes. Considering the research, we found that the Final Considerations of academic articles in the area under study is configured as a succinct section in which the authors present a synthesis of all the data, discussions and problems that involved the article, as well as printing a position final about these discussions. As for the References section, it appears that the book represents the main source of theoretical foundation for research in the area of History.
