A educação historiográfica e a utilização da literatura nas aulas de história : uma possibilidade metodológica

Abstract

At first, literature and history may seem opposite, as one seeks the imaginary and the other the real. However, if we analyze in depth, they have something in common, they seek to understand the human experience and that is the point we can explore. When we take literature to a history class, we can bring this analysis of the human experience written in literary books and those real experiences explained by history. The combination of both disciplines can enhance the study of history. In this research, we seek to explore the problematization of the use of literature in teaching history in the search for more comprehensive learning. The objectives are to discuss current history teaching, debate literature as a historiographical source and bring excerpts from literary works that can be used in history classes. Therefore, the present study consists of applied research, of a descriptive nature. The objective is to provide information that can serve as a guide for actions to change reality. In this sense, the results will be presented in qualitative forms, based on information collected from primary and secondary sources, including bibliographic reviews, case studies and field practice. The execution of the research includes, firstly, the collection of secondary data and the literature review. Subsequently, it turns to case studies, aiming at theoretical solidification, and field practice, which seeks to analyze the practical capacity of the research. Finally, understand literature as a source that can be explored by historiography and that has great methodological potential and can be used by teachers in history classes.
