EDUCATION, HISTORY AND FICTION: THE KINDRED NOVEL IN THE TEACHING OF THE CONCEPT OF HISTORICAL TIME IN THE BASIC EDUCATION CLASSROOM

Abstract

The text, considering the challenges faced in education to consolidate practices that go beyond the teaching of traditional history, aims to think about the teaching of the concept of historical time through literary language as a historical source to be worked on in the history classroom of basic education. To this end, we intend to investigate the National Common Curricular Base, understanding it as a normative document that presents possibilities for non-traditional teaching, mainly due to the emphasis given to the processes and concepts fundamental to historiographical research. From this, we propose to think about the teaching of the concept of historical time from the novel Kindred (1979), by Octavia E. Butler, as a historical source, and to present a reading of the work as a contemporary historical novel, bringing the novelistic form closer to historiographical concepts.
