History in today's textbooks: between national and global

This study focus at the narrative composition in History textbooks about the curricular organization assumed at the last decades, which manifests sometimes in a separate way and sometimes integrated between Brazil History and world History. The article, besides the brief description of the changes in those narratives at the didactic Brazilian production, shows the analysis as a way to evidence some of the curricular organizational strategies and textual construction the books uses to establish resemblance between national and global history at its narrative structure. The preliminary results of the study indicates that the History textbooks pursuit the consideration of a historiographical and curricular tradition, which is predominantly chronologic-linear organization of the History contents, but look for strategies to innovate the sense of establish articulations at the national-worldwide approach and overcome dissociations between space and temporal instances.
