Máquinas, muros e o galo impertinente: o realismo mágico literário de José J. Veiga na reflexão acerca da ditadura militar no Brasil e proposta didática para ensino de história

Abstract

This work is dedicated to researching the relationship between the works of magical realism by Goiás author José J. Veiga and the context of the military dictatorship in which they were published, pointing out ways of using this literary language in teaching the history of the period. To this end, research in the field of history that focuses on the literature of the dictatorship period is reviewed and the short stories O Galo Impertinente (1967) and A Máquina Extraviada (1967) and the novel Sombras De Reis Barbudos (1972) by José J. Veiga are analyzed based on Roger Chartier's notion of representation (1991;2010). The aim of the work is to produce a didactic product in ebook format for teachers of the 9th grade of elementary school, with guidelines for using literature in the classroom to teach the content of the military dictatorship. From the perspective of history education, the aim was to contribute to historical awareness of the dictatorial period.
