A Revista da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais

Academic journals and scientific reviews have a long historical trajectory that goes way beyond the nineteenth century’s private dissemination of philosophical thinking and revolutionary ideals. Thus, this article accomplishes two main tasks: 1) it places the current retake of the Revista da UFMG within both a national and broader international historical framework; 2) it shows how internal changes reflected specific aesthetic, social, political and moral questions in local scientific scenario.
