Possibilidades do uso de histórias em quadrinhos no ensino de história: representatividade feminina nas tirinhas de Pagu

Abstract

The present work is a proposal for a pedagogical intervention in the teaching of History, which seeks to help the development of a more dynamic and meaningful teaching-learning through the use of comics. Within the perspective of gender and feminism, and based on the analysis of the strips produced by Pagu, published in the newspaper O Homem do Povo [the man of the people] (1931), a didactic sequence was prepared, aimed at the 9th grade of Elementary School, with articulated activities that aim to enable a class experience less limited to the content and curriculum logic, and more focused on the discussion and constitution of a more autonomous and interactive learning. In order to effectively build this proposal, a dialogue was sought with some theorists and researchers along the following itinerary: the concept of historical consciousness from the theoretical perspective of Rüsen (2001) and the works of Cerri (2006, 2011); gender study with Joan Scott; in aiding the study of comics and their applicability in history classes, we resorted, in particular, to the contributions of Waldomiro Vergueiro and Elísio dos Santos (2015), Paulo Ramos and Túlio Vilela (2012; 2020); and on didactic sequences, Antoni Zabala (2014) was the main reference. It is hoped that this research will contribute to an educational praxis in which students have a space for reflection, listening to their experiences and that they can see themselves as protagonists of their history, understanding that this appropriation is fundamental to break with the culture of patriarchy is essential for the consolidation of na egalitarian and fairer society.
