A consciência histórica de estudantes na relação com os discursos de uso público da história afro-brasileira

Abstract

This research seeks to understand the mobilization of historical consciousness and the attribution of plausibility in the relation with discourses of the public uses of the history of Afro-Brazilian. The research has as its source the narratives produced by students from a research instrument applied in the classroom. Another source is also observed: the discourses of public uses of the past taken to the research instruments that reconstruct events of the past related to African slavery in Brazil, the Brazilian miscegenation and the racial relations present in Quilombo de Palmares. From these discourses, the students are brought into contact with ideas about the relations of historical racial oppression, and are led to express themselves in relation to such discourses and ideas, as well as to try to relate these events in the past to the situation of the population Afro-Brazilian in the present. The work is produced according to the theoretical and methodological accumulation of didactics of history and historical education.
