HQ's e o ensino de história : uma leitura da representação do negro no panorama do segundo reinado brasileiro

Abstract

The use of comics as a teaching resource in History classes has become increasingly frequent, not only because of its dynamic potential, but also for the accessibility that the textual genre offers. Knowing that, the objective of this representations essay is to stablish a reflective analysis around the ethnic-racial debate, which goes through the construction of historical representations of black people in the Imperial Brazilian society, more precisely the Second Reign, in order to contribute to anti-racist education, since the study problem arises from the students' lack of feeling of belonging to the quilombo. The purpose is to use comics as a teaching resource – images and texts -, in the teaching of History, guided by the critique around the coloniality of knowledge and power. Law 10.639/03, as one of the milestones of Basic Education, appears as an indicator of counter-hegemonic epistemologies and pedagogies, specially when it points to the teaching of History, raising a commitment to and appreciation of knowledge and actions over historically marginalized groups and individuals, such as some of the students assisted by the Pernambuco Reference in High School (EREM) Jarina Maia, coming from the Quilombola Community of Brejinho. The use of comics is justified, as there is a need to deepen the understanding of the contents of History classes, in a dynamic and attractive way for students, as well as a support for the teaching of History and ethnic-racial relations. The product is the construction of a didactic sequence, supported by the use of comics in history teaching, with a view to establishing re-readings by students regarding the representation of black people invested in the History of the Brazilian 19th century. The work is supported by the field of Languages and Historical Narratives.
