O cinema na sala de aula: usos de cinematografias moçambicanas e senegalesa no ensino de história da África pós-colonial

Abstract

This work presents analysis about the uses of African cinematography in teaching the history of post-colonial Africa. To this end, it starts from the context of the decolonization of African countries and the emergence of their respective independent cinemas, focusing specifically on the cases of Mozambique and Senegal. After all, audiovisual production in these two countries is closely related to the political, social and cultural scenario experienced after emancipation. In this sense, the research led to development of the educational product Cartilha CinematogrÁfrica: guidelines for the use of African cinemas in the classroom, a resource with suggestions for holding movie screenings in the school space. The target audience is elementary school history teachers, especially those who teach 9th grade classes, since this is the school year in which content on the decolonization of Africa is mobilized.
