Her master's dissertation, defended in 1991, is a precursor study of humor in Brazil in the early twentieth century and paved the way for the investigations of other authors who followed, having established an interesting contrast between the humor of literary bohemia and the aesthetic appropriation of humor by Modernism. From the beginning of her academic life to today she has accumulated a vast production of studies on Brazilian caricature in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the researches that were the basis of his doctoral thesis, the fundamental role of the press in the Independence process and how it was then constituted in a public sphere that gave rise to embryonic and unpredictable forms of political competition. She published, in the Brazilian press, for about twenty-five years, reviews of some of the main books in the areas of History and Social Sciences and the like, constituting, through this activity, a great deal of knowledge about the state of the art in those areas. She held the Simon Bolívar Chair (IHEAL) at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3, in France (2010/2011). She held the Chair Sergio Buarque de Holanda / Maison des Sciences de l´Homme / Paris for the period 2012-2015, serving as visiting professor at the University of Rennes-2.
