Analisando O ano em que meus pais saíram de férias: cinema e ditadura civil militar no Brasil no ensino de história

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to analyze the relationships between history and cinema, present in the film The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2006), and their use in History teaching, seeking to understand the memory disputes that occur in the cinematographic sphere, having considering that this theme is in line with law 13,006, of June 26, 2014, which requires the showing of nationally produced films for at least two hours per month in basic education schools. The feature film serves as a subsidy to analyze the memory disputes surrounding the civil-military dictatorship (1964–1985). A sensitive and historically recent topic that demands a lot of research. The choice of the film was based on the analysis of its use in teaching history. The methodology applied seeks to decompose scenes (film narratives), descriptions and interpretations and then understand the relationship between history and memory, and how this memory is placed in the film studied. The theoretical framework on the film as a final product and beyond art and its relationship with the teaching of History is based on Marc Ferro (2010). Regarding film analysis in the classroom, theoretical contributions from Marcos Napolitano were used. Michael Polack (1989) and Paul Ricouer (2007) contributed on the topic of silencing/erasing memories. In the end, this work contributes to the elaboration of a didactic sequence that guides and encourages History teachers to work with the use of cinema, an important and essential source that becomes an object of study every day, spreading an active and combative in social spaces.
