Breve Histórico Editada, sem interrupções, até 1997, a Revista do Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros (RIEB) da USP foi criada em 1966. Pela própria natureza do Instituto, sempre teve caráter multidisciplinar, abrigando diferentes tendências e linhas de pesquisa e abrindo suas páginas para pesquisadores de uma enorme diversidade de instituições. Em muitas áreas do conhecimento, a edição fez parte do movimento de renovação dos estudos brasileiros, tendo sido um dos principais veículos de difusão do conhecimento científico originário das universidades brasileiras e de seus programas de pós-graduação entre 1970 e 1990. Além disso, foi um dos meios de divulgação do vasto acervo do IEB, que hoje inclui documentos de nomes fundamentais da cultura brasileira, como Alberto Lamego, Anita Malfatti, Caio Prado Jr., Camargo Guarnieri, Graciliano Ramos, Guimarães Rosa, Mário de Andrade, Osman Lins, Pierre Monbeig, Yan de Almeida Prado, entre outros. A RIEB, espaço de debates destinado a abranger uma multiplicidade de temas, correntes de pensamento e linhas de pesquisa, ressurgiu em setembro de 2006 com sua proposta integradora dos vários ramos das humanidades, aceitando o desafio de pensar criticamente o Brasil e facilitar o diálogo entre as áreas do conhecimento, sem contudo fazer concessões quanto às especificidades e ao rigor técnico de leituras especializadas. Além disso, e com o idêntico propósito de abrigar debates em que sejam confrontados saberes de diversa proveniência, a publicação abre suas páginas tanto para análises de problemas do Brasil contemporâneo como para reflexões que investiguem dimensões teóricas dos estudos brasileiros. Nesse sentido, encara o desafio de erigir-se em espaço aglutinador – mas não harmonizador – das inúmeras fronteiras do conhecimento.
