O uso da literatura no ensino de história: possíveis trilhas com o romance O Mulato, Aluísio Azevedo.

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the possibility of dialogues between History and Literature as a pedagogical resource in Teaching History, specifically from the work The Mulatto by Aluísio Azevedo. It is understood that the approximation of History and Literature in the classroom, among other issues, is directly related to the concern with the construction of a significant historical knowledge and quality. Thus, it is considered important to discuss the use of literature as a historical source in the classroom, expanding the concept of historical source and pedagogical language, stimulating the diversification of the work of the teacher. In our specific case, we analyze the novel O Mulatto, by Aluísio Azevedo, as a possibility to discuss racial relations in County Galway in the second half of the 19th century. In addition to working with the novel O Mulatto, we also used Areferential of Cultural History as a historiographical tendency to guide the proposed and presented reflections, using authors' perspectives such as CHARTIER (1990), RUIZ (2007), SILVA (1999) and others.
