A árvore de marcação (1993): cinema e ensino de História

Abstract

This work aims to contribute to the discussion on local history, focusing on the city of Marcação – PB, as its main reference the film A Árvore de Marcação (1993). The film presents relevant situations from the local reality, becoming a significant didactic support for History teaching and an important historical source, allowing us contact with images of a past Marcação and with significant events, enabling reflections on changes and continuities in the city. The central objective is to guarantee the students access to historical knowledge from their own context, developing skills that enable them to think historically. For this purpose, the dissertation is divided into four chapters, which address History teaching, local history, the emergence, expansion and insertion of Cinema in History Teaching, as well as the historical and linguistic analysis of the film, its representations and records of reality. The work also describes the structuring and application of a Didactic Sequence, which facilitated the screening and discussion of the film with the students, culminating in the creation and completion of a Reflective Album, used as an evaluative instrument of historical learning from the film.
