Os usos e funções do ensino de História a partir da disciplina “Cultura do RN” (2007 a 2013)

Abstract

This research attempts to problematize the history teaching, regarding its use to "communicate" certain idea of what the Rio Grande do Norte culture and, consequently, how this teaching is being used to build and/or set a local identity. To this end, we will use the institutionalization of the "RN Culture" discipline, perceiving it as a state policy that aims to bring to the attention of school subjects the cultural expressions that are connected to the RN identity. We will analyze the narratives that were selected, organized and produced before the discipline development process in 2007, which modified the Curriculum Structure of Basic Education of the public schools of Rio Grande do Norte, in order to identify and understand conceptions of mobilized culture and possibilities for developments in the history teaching.
