THE TEACHING USE OF LITERARY TEXT IN HISTORY TEACHING

an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach

Abstract

The didactic use of the literary text in the teaching of History facilitates the inter- and transdisciplinarity dialogue in the classroom. Since, the teaching practice requires different strategies and tools to promote the critical reflection on the themes of Contemporary History. Therefore, the objective of this research is to present in a didactic way, the use of literature in the teaching and learning process. To that end, we have as an object of analysis the story of Antonio Callado's The Cordial Man (1967), which discusses the fragilities of the revolutionary project that marked Brazil in the 1960s, especially after the 1964 military coup. tale brings in its narrative the question of revolution / transformation by armed struggle, the politicization and dissemination of left ideals and forms of resistance, while at the same time resuming our formation process, dialoguing with classical works like Roots of the Brazil by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda. From the themes presented in the plot of The Cordial Man, we propose the didactic use of the literary text as an integral part of the historian / educator's performance in the space of the classroom.
