Quadros de Ferro? Influências da historiografia na produção de livros didáticos de história regional nos municípios capixabas de Anchieta e Piúma

Abstract

Located between the sea and the mountains, the towns of Piuma and Anchieta, which lie on the southern coast of Espirito Santo, had their livelihoods of fishing changed with the arrival of Samarco in the 1970s and later by tourism, oil and gas. Some residents were affected by these changes and decided to promote activities to create a sense of regional identity. Among these initiatives were the publication of textbooks covering the history and geographical landscape of the area. In order to understand the process of creation of these book and the narrative contained in them, we rely on the concepts of representation, ownership and authorship of Chartier (1990, 2002, 2010, 2012) and the analysis of relations between these three senses of history – quotidian, scholar and academician - and the dilemma that accompanies school history since its inception which has transformed books in identity documents as stated by Carretero (2010). What we found was a local representation of identity that supports different temporalities and among them we will highlight what we call the Varnhagen influence that has produced an identity as a result of the participation with the black and indigenous ethnicities but under a European dominance
