Comic books and the Brazilian military dictatorship: methodological triangulation as an investigative criterion of the historical ideas of Brasilian young students⁸

ABSTRACT

It is investigated how to inventory the historical comic books that deal with the Brazilian Military Dictatorship of 1964-1985 that make it possible to mobilize the aesthetic, political and cognitive dimensions of the historical culture (RÜSEN, 2016) of the young Brazilian students of public schools. This research is linked to the project CAPES Memórias Brasileiras: Conflitos Sociais named Indígenas, Quilombolas e Napalm: uma história da guerrilha do Vale do Ribeira (2015-2019). It is based on a methodological triangulation based on the understanding of historical processes linked to the relationship between structures of feelling (WILLIAMS, 2003) belonging to youth culture, the relationship between interculturality and the new humanism (RÜSEN, 2014) and on the principle of “burdening history” proposed by Bodo von Borries (2016), which proposes that the burden of history can be overcome by the multiperspectivated interpretation instituting controversy provided by self-criticism in the theory of history. It is searched, from the inventory of the typology of historical comic books that narrate the historical experiences related to the Brazilian Military Dictatorship, the creation of a research instrument that allows the construction of a history comic book about the Guerrilla of the Valley of Ribeira.
