The new cultural history as a methodology proposed for research in the nursing history field A nova história cultural como proposta metodológica para pesquisas no campo da história da enfermagem Nueva historia cultural como la investigación metodológica propuesta en el campo de la historia de la enfermería ABSTRACTObjective: The study's goal has been to discuss the use of the New Cultural History as a methodology for analysis of nursing practices and behaviors related to printed materials. Methods: It is descriptive research with qualitative approach, which is derived from the reflection on the theoretical and methodological advances defended by the historian Roger Chartier in the Cultural History field. In order to establish links between the New Cultural History, which was proposed by the historian, and the Nursing History, it was reviewed 2 Doctoral Theses and 3 Master Theses produced at the Laboratory of Scientific Approaches in the Nursing History. Results: The studies showed that the methodological approach proposed by Chartier is based on the intimate relationship between representations and the effects produced by its appropriations. Conclusion: The printed text can suit different forms, and then may gain status of a document-object for the study of cultural history by allowing them to bring back an object, concept or missing person by replacing it with an image capable of representing them adequately.

The role of the researcher is to see the past through the eyes of the present and in the light of their problems; in other words, their main work is not to register, but to evaluate anchored on a theoretical basis. 2The construction of nursing as a profession has a history that is recovered thanks to the mediation of the present with the past through the documents. Some documents have the potential to be used as sources for nursing history studies, namely: photographs, films, newspapers, books, scientific journals, non-scientific journals, service manuals, folders, serials, posters, service reports, almanacs, among others.Among all types of documents, those produced by the written press have gained special relevance in the context of nursing history research, because it favors the diffusion of the signic element endowed with greater communication power in Western Society: the written word.The idea of the written press is used to designate newspapers and periodically printed newspapers, which are endowed with a constant edi...
