"Aqui toda a vida se engalana...": discursos sobre Rondônia no livro didático

Abstract

The present study sought to analyze discourses about the History of the State of Rondônia in the textbook "Aqui toda a vida se engalana", we seek to understand the indenitary discourses that aim to legitimize power and, at the same time, to create a homogeneity and sense of belonging for a formed population by people from various parts of Brazil. Seeking to understand the role that history teaching has in reaffirming a "memory" as well as contributing to the support of a collective identity. The sociocultural formation of the State of Rondônia is made up of patches and contradictions that do not have any ties of continuity between them. In this sense, it is necessary to understand the question of multiplicity and its diversity, as well as the contradictions and conflicts of the process of occupation of the region. So that there was a displacement of power, which was accompanied by the dispute of a memory of the historical process of colonization of the State, in order that whoever had control over what was written could count and enhance his role in this memory. All this process of reorganization, modernization and change were accompanied by the need to elect great heroes who became symbols of this historical process of constitution of the State of Rondônia.
