Experiência histórica e literatura em tempos de pandemia: contribuições ao Ensino de História

Abstract

In order to meet the requirements of the Professional Master's Degree in History Teaching, we present the construction of a didactic sequence that establishes a furtive dialogue between the classroom and the research field of History Teaching, using literature as a fundamental element in the link between the lived and the read, the real and the fictional. This research discusses the ways and possibilities of using fictional narrative attributes in a history class, bringing the covid-19 pandemic as an object of study and background. Therefore, it was necessary to reflect on the applicability of the union of two narratives that in themselves are quite different, but which in practice proved to be sisters for the construction of this pedagogical mediation. From a vast theoretical exposition and an immersive immersion in the work of Albert Camus and José Saramago, we were able to extract the substrate of a pandemic literature, in times of pandemic, and build as a final product of this dissertation, this didactic sequence, which thinks about the teaching relationships between history and literature, elements of verisimilitude, reason and sensitivity and the production of a literary chronicles workshop. This present work has the humble intention of being a pedagogical support for History teachers of basic education and for all education professionals.
