Dom Adriano e ensino de história para os direitos humanos: um mapa digital sobre locais de memória e resistência à Ditadura em Nova Iguaçu

Abstract

This study came from classroom experience. Thorny themes revealed conflicts of memory and exaltations of human rights violations, such as the return to the military dictatorship in Brazil. How did young people, who did not experience this reality, defend the return to an exceptional regime? Did they know what a dictatorship indeed was? What about the indispensable rights of the citizen? What will be the role of the teacher in the re-elaboration of these memories? These questions led to the formulation of a proposal for a final product that could work on fundamental concepts for reflection on democracy, dictatorship, human rights and the role of the human being as an agent of resistance and struggle for the preservation of these rights. For that, it would be necessary to mobilize concepts worked on in the professional master's degree in Profhistoria. Places of Memory, History Teaching, and Local History were used as a theoretical basis. These were the elements that guided the creation of an application, a virtual map, containing memory holes in Nova Iguaçu. All locations have in common the performance of Dom Adriano Hypólito, bishop of Nova Iguaçu between 1966 and 1994 and his performance as a religious leader in the fight against the violation of Human Rights. Therefore, using as a reference to a local figure, an identity element, contributing to a better understanding of the concepts, developing historical awareness.
