Música como instrumento para o ensino de História: Ditadura Militar (1964-1985)

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the importance of using music as a historical source in the classroom, focusing on songs produced during the period of the Civil-Military Dictatorship in Brazil, which was in force in the country from 1964 to 1985. Based on this, we aim to highlight the relevance of this historical period in education, promoting a critical and reflective approach, seeking to understand the influence of music on the political, social and cultural scenario of the country, addressing, for this purpose, historical facts that contributed to the development and consolidation of protest music as part of Brazilian culture. This research also proves to be relevant, contributing to the construction of the student's identity as a critical and reflective historical agent. Therefore, the History teacher can overcome the barriers that hinder the use of music as a historical source, using it as an additional tool in the construction of the student's historical knowledge and their identity. Thus, the use of music as a historical document is aligned with the most recent demands of History Teaching. To construct this article, we used the analysis of song lyrics, contextualizing them, through a bibliographic review, within the events that marked this period of Brazilian history
