O ensino de História e as músicas de Chico Buarque de Holanda: da escuta à produção de sentidos históricos na escola estadual Engenheiro Palma Muniz, em Redenção-PA

Abstract

This work aims to develop the critical sense and the musical sensitivity of the students of the 2nd year of High School in History classes. Therefore, the research was carried out at the state school Engenheiro Palma Muniz, in the city of Redenção-PA. Thus, the object of study is the use of music, based on a reflection on the possibilities and challenges that this teaching practice presents. It is known that its use allows to illustrate a historical reality; analyze the content by letter, and discuss the notion of historical source. In view of these premises, it was sought to use them from the perspective of the construction of historical meanings, as well as the elaboration and application of a didactic sequence, which corresponds to a set of activities, with lesson plans and related contents. Divided into four categories initial problematization; development of the narrative of teaching; application of new knowledge and reflection on what was learned, the didactic sequence has a propositional character of teaching and constitutes the final product of this work. For this purpose six songs were selected: Live Wheel, In spite of you, Chalice, Wake up love, My dear friend and It will pass of the singer and composer Chico Buarque. The lyrics, sound, melody and historical context are related through the exercise of sensitive listening appropriate to a connection with time lived and evoked by the composer. In this way, the students were constructing their own meanings in a dialectical process, between historical times. The concept of representation addressed by Stuart Hall (2016) guided this study because it corresponds to the process by which meanings are produced and shared among members of the same culture. Therefore, it is understood as representation the production of these meanings through language.
