E se te contassem outra História: gênero e feminismo no ensino de História

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implications of the feminist and gender studies for the teaching of History, as well as, to work on the perspective of problematizing and addressing gender inequalities in the Integral School Professor Edmilson Pinheiro, in Maracanaú / CE, through the formation of the Gender Center of the Edmilson Pinheiro-NUGEP School, to study, discuss and bring activities related to gender issues to the school community. In the research was thought about the gender relations from the feminist studies and in a poststructuralist perspective, fundamentally based on the definitions of the historian Joan Scott. Methodologically, after a brief review of the historiography on women in history and the recent evolution of the Brazilian educational legislation, heir of the 1988 Constitution, the tools of ethnographic studies were used, focused on the participant observation of the core students and other students of the school , who participated or not in the activities proposed by the nucleus. The purpose of the formation of the nucleus is a proposal of intervention in the school, by the bias of the gender category, valuing the feminist studies, for the composition of the school as a democratic space and citizenship for all. The experience of the existence of a core year demonstrated the capacity of tensions for the teaching of History and for the school as a whole, in search of a form of work that valued the diversity of the students and the respect to the school community, and abandoned the traditional, linear, ethnocentric, and masculine view of history and school.
