O Estado Novo nas coleções do PNLD 2015 : um estudo sobre livros didáticos de história

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to analyze the approaches granted to the "Estado Novo" in Brazilian textbooks on the History of Secondary Education, from the most distributed collections of the National Program of Textbooks (PNLD) 2015, a period in which there were significant innovations regarding the perspectives for studies on this topic. Using the concepts of Representation and Appropriation of Roger Chartier, we tried to examine the representations of this phase through five categories, among them the figure of the negro, the woman, the people, the Vargas and the pedagogical proposal of the authors around the activities. To that end, were studied the collections, History, Society & Citizenship (Editora FTD, 2013), by Alfredo Boulos Júnior; The Brazilian and Global History (Editora Saraiva 2nd edition, 2013), by Gilberto Cotrim and History; from the Caves to the Third Millennium (Editora Moderna 3ª edição-2013), by Patricia Ramos Braick and Myriam Becho Mota, due to the widespread acquisition of these titles by the public schools in Brazil. Therefore, we aim to contribute to the expansion of the knowledge about Brazilian school historiography regarding the approaches made to the Estado Novo, according to the different representations of that period.
