Abstract

Kaiser Friedrich der Zweite [Frederick the Second: 1194-1250] was published in 1927 by Ernst Kantorowicz, an oficial membership of Stefan George Circle. This work initiated an extensive debate between the medievalist Albert Brackmann and the author of the biography. In general, the discussions brought important questions on the theoretical and methodological principles of the historical knowledge. Thus, this article aims to present this controversy, analyzing its substantial questions. Calling attention to the George Circle’s proposals for historiography, we also try to understand the paper of this debate in its intellectual context. Keywords: Stefan George Circle, German historiography, interpretation.

Summary

Introduction

Kaiser Friedrich de Zweite [Imperador Frederico II] de Ernst Kantorowicz (1895-1963) veio a público em 1927, pela editora Georg Bondi. Kantorowicz, em sua primeira resposta a Brackmann, esclarece que por não se tratar de uma discussão sobre métodos, o imprescindível era refletir sobre a “controvérsia histórica”, sobre o comprometimento de seu trabalho historiográfico com o que Brackmann denominara de “dogma”, neste caso a compreensão de pesquisa histórica vinculada a George e seu Círculo.
