[...] 10 INTRODUÇÃO Durante as pesquisas realizadas durante o desenvolvimento da minha dissertação de mestrado em História, entre 2009 e 2011, cuja temática situava-se na análise e atuação do Instituto Superior de Estudos Brasileiros (ISEB) - em seu breve, porém instigante e conturbado período de existência de apenas nove anos 1- estudei a trajetória profissional dos intelectuais que fizeram parte do instituto. Entre eles, o itinerário de Roland Corbisier me pareceu bastante interessante: o meio social em que nasceu, sua formação religiosa, política e intelectual, suas escolhas profissionais, sua “guinada” ideológica, a atuação de um intelectual no ambiente político-partidário, já na década de 1960, e também sua trajetória a partir de 1964 – ano em que teve seus direitos políticos cassados e viveu numa espécie de “exílio dentro de seu próprio país”. Sem dúvida apresentava-se um personagem que merecia ser analisado com mais detalhes e com mais profundidade – algo praticamente impossível de conciliar, naquele momento, quando todas as minhas atenções estavam voltadas para o ISEB e seu modus operandi. Tratava-se, portanto, de um projeto adiado, colocado em compasso de espera, mas que crescia de interesse à medida que percebia, através das minhas pesquisas, sua atuação e protagonismo no instituto. Superada a etapa do mestrado, refleti sobre o tema visando um projeto maior e mais ambicioso, que finalmente encontrou no doutorado a oportunidade de se realizar, dedicando mais tempo e também explorando outras facetas deste personagem. À cada descoberta, um novo viés de análise. [...] 11 acadêmico?”. Essas e outras questões apresentaram-se ao longo da maturação deste tema. Um fato que me incentivou na análise deste personagem foi tentar compreender como se construiu uma memória sobre Corbisier, cujos itinerários não foram capazes de formar um consenso. Personagem político? Relegado a um segundo plano pelo meio intelectual? Quem foi, afinal, Roland Corbisier? Quando decidi examinar a trajetória de Roland Corbisier, imaginei que esta não deveria ser um fim em si mesma, mas que, de certa forma contribuísse para o avanço das discussões próprias ao conhecimento histórico. Na pesquisa, percebi que Roland Corbisier, embora não aparecesse com destaque no rol das grandes personagens intelectuais e políticas da história do Brasil Republicano - não fazendo parte, portanto, do panteão dos grandes intelectuais popularizados em nossa história -, merecia, por outro lado, um estudo mais aprofundado, não com o objetivo de refazer seu itinerário de modo tradicional – linear, cronológico e destacando suas ações sob aspectos unicamente positivos, tentando imprimir excesso de coerência a uma trajetória de vida – e sim tentando compreender também os diversos temas subjacentes, conceitos e temporalidades da nossa história, acompanhando seu percurso por diversos contextos da história do Brasil ao longo do século XX, e de que maneira o personagem esteve imbricado nas conjunturas históricas.
