MEANINGS AND RESIGNIFICATIONS OF THE PRINCIPLE OF PROVENANCE
Keywords:
Archival Science, Archival funds, Principle of Provenance, Archival TheoryAbstract
This article performs a historical-epistemological review of the literature on the principle of provenance carried out in the second half of the 20th century, during which the discussions are contextualized, the tendencies of the debate are analyzed, important relationships between the proposals are identified and emerging perspectives are pointed out. It is discovered that the new dynamics of archival source production, the transformation of the classical organization of nineteenth-century institutions, the recognition of other archival sources external to the canonically recognized ones prompted a movement of resignification of the principle from the decade of 1960. This displacement fostered poly-hierarchical relationship models of organizational structures, in addition to inserting it into a historical-social approach. Therefore, the principle moves away from being a pragmatic norm and approaches more abstract levels of knowledge. This itinerary made the collections less dependent on physical spaces and at the same time more concerned with the cultural contexts of community trajectories.
