Rafael Faraco Benthien

I hold a degree from the Federal University of Paraná (Bachelor's and Teaching Degree in History - 2002), a Master's degree (2006), and a Ph.D. (2011) from the University of São Paulo (within the Social History program). I maintained ties with the Department of Sociology at the University of São Paulo during my postdoctoral fellowship (2011-2013). Between 2020 and 2021, I completed a second postdoctoral fellowship at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. Since May 2013, I have been working as a tenured professor in the Department of History at the Federal University of Paraná. I am also part of the Graduate Program in History at the same institution, affiliated with the research line "Cultura e Poder." My work spans the fields of Ancient History, Contemporary History, History of Art, and History of the Social Sciences. My most recent research intersects the histories of history, social sciences, archaeology, Greco-Latin studies, literature, and literary criticism. I serve as the secretary of the Brazilian Center for Durkheimian Studies and, alongside Raquel Andrade Weiss, as the coordinator of the Durkheimian Library collection, published by the University of São Paulo Press. Between March 2021 and December 2024, I was affiliated with the coordination of the Federal University of Paraná Press, during which I oversaw the preparation of 109 (one hundred and nine) original works.
