• History and Education

  2024-06-26

  Organizers:  Prof. Dr. Olga Brites (PUCSP) and Prof. Dr. Eduardo Silveira Netto Nunes (Universidade Federal do Acre)

  Abstract: The dialogue and the interplay between History and Education are essential for historiographical work and educational practice. The historiographical field is responsible for deconstructing and questioning mystifying, denialist narratives based on "post-truth." Recently, in Brazil, Latin America, and globally, we have been affected by numerous educational reforms that ended up being an emancipatory perspective in favor of neoliberal, market-driven policies that produce inequality in education. The attack on public education and the rise of neoconservative, neo-fascist, and neoliberal forces resulted in the dismantling of democratic education and the weakening of the field of History, with the reduction of History course offerings, the closure of History programs, the rise of civic-military schools, the privatization of public schools, the persecution of teachers, the use of technology as a form of control, and the reduction in the number of students seeking higher education. The historiographical field and educational research are mobilizing efforts aiming to question and analyze the new and old forms of attack on History and Education. We are convinced that teaching and research are inseparable, assuming the responsibility that our high school and elementary students are active agents of their own history and should work with historical research sources. We followed the fight of “ANPUH” during the military dictatorship against Social Studies, the aim was reducing it to a moral a civic education system, stripping our field of its critical power to transform and resist dictatorships. We prevailed through much struggle. Now experiencing a period of denial that once again seeks to strip us of our power to fight and reflect. Ever since the Annales, we have been certain that every human manifestation is part of history: writing, cinema, music, literature, and clothing. Material history, immaterial history, and the dimension of popular culture. We learned from Walter Benjamin to think of history as one that involves struggles and conflicts between “winners and losers”. That's how we value the experiences of native peoples, peasant struggles, the black movement, poor blacks and whites. It is no longer a matter of folklorizing these subjects, but of giving visibility to their active and transformative experiences. This is how ANPUH advocates the presence of secondary and primary school teachers not as reproducers of knowledge, enshrined in theory, but as producers of knowledge. In this collection, we aim to debate all these issues in the hope of facing adversity and looking to a future where we can build other possible histories in the field of History and Education.
