Tempo presente e narrativa: os governos do PT nos livros didáticos de História

Abstract

In recent years, a certain narrative has been created by different political groups, identified as right-wing and/or extreme right-wing, which blame the PT governments for the crises that plague Brazil. It is perceived that the period of these governments is a past that does not pass, since they are often used to justify the various problems in the present time. This paper aims to analyze how the Present Time and the PT governments are represented in the History textbooks of the Elementary School II. In the first chapter, a historiographical discussion about the field of Present Time History and the Textbook is carried out. In the second chapter, we present the source of this research: the 11 9th grade textbooks of 11 collections approved by the Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático - PNLD 2020. In the third and last chapter, we seek to understand which choices the authors make in the construction of the narrative about these periods. It was found that the narratives are predominantly descriptive, with few problematizations, making the teaching action important in the reflections about the recent past in the classroom.
