Vamireh Chacon de Albuquerque Nascimento (February 1, 1934 – September 18, 2023) was a Brazilian historian, political scientist, jurist, and professor. In 2014, he was awarded the Machado de Assis Prize for his body of work, which includes studies on a wide range of subjects, in particular the cultural sphere he called ''Great Iberia'' and the evolution of social sciences in Brazil.
Biography
[edit]Born in Recife to a family of Portuguese and Spanish descent, Chacon began his journalistic career as a teenager after a short trip to Europe, writing articles for Folha da Manhã.[1] He completed both his law and philosophy degrees simultaneously, the latter at the Catholic University of Pernambuco. In 1959, he earned a doctoral degree under Arnóbio Graça at the Faculty of Law of Recife with a thesis titled Introdução ao problema da Sociologia do Direito. His works soon drew the attention of Gilberto Freyre, whom Chacon later met. Freyre would become the subject of an intellectual biography by Chacon.[2]
In Germany, at the universities of Munich, Koln, and Münster, Chacon attended classes by Hans Freyer, Alfred von Martin, and Leopold von Wiese, and had contact with the Frankfurt School, of which he became one of the first commentators in Brazil, with an interest in Theodor W. Adorno.[3][4][5]
Another focus of his research was the Recife School, to which he dedicated the study Da Escola do Recife ao Código Civil: Artur Orlando e sua geração and the book A luz do Norte: o Nordeste na história das ideias do Brasil.
In 1960, he completed postdoctoral studies at the University of Chicago. The following year he became a professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco, presenting the thesis O fator econômico no marxismo.[6] In 1971, he was appointed full professor at the University of Brasília, where he was later made professur emeritus.
