Diante do mundo digital: ensinar e aprender história em tempos de pósverdade

Abstract

This work starts from the effects of new digital technologies and their relationship with history and its teaching both in the classroom and on social networks. Mobilizing concepts such as Public History and Digital History in conjunction with looks at the role of algorithms in distributing and directing the online content produced and how this has been taken advantage of by far-right groups. Faced with the democratic crisis that we are experiencing in the country, one can see the growth of the role of history channels aimed at a denialist look, filled with post-truth elements that aim to reinforce a monochromatic and monothematic history. In this sense, the research seeks to understand the role of the history teacher in an intense post-truth environment, whether in the classroom or in digital media. Thus, the aim is to present a methodology for analyzing a channel – História FM – which leads towards the appreciation of history as a science, in order to highlight the possibilities of a joint approach by teachers and students for an education democratic, critical and citizen formation.
