Entre o romance e a educação histórica local: uma análise da obra Cassacos, de Cordeiro de Andrade, como instrumento educativo nas aulas de história local do ensino médio, para compreensão da cultura sobralense nas duas primeiras décadas do século XX

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the Sobralense culture in the two first decades of the 20th Century, based on the Cassacos de Cordeiro de Andrade work rummage, considering it as historic narrative. The proposition longs for serving to suggestion as educative tool in the High School classes of Local History. The theoretical research route, which is presented as qualitative study of content, with analytical-descriptive historic analyses is divided in A terra ( The Earth) , that demonstrate the importance of studying local history from the historic narrative on, understanding the space/time relation, identity/memory as a presupposition to the students’ civic education, besides tracing a reading about Sobral since its foundation in 1920, also regarding its urban formation since the analytic crossing of the official literatures with the work Cassacos. A Romanization project of the Catholic Church will be identified and then proposed the deconstruction and the launching of a new look on Sobral history in the diocesan period. In O Homem (The man), It’s our objective to stand out the existing contradictions in the official biography of Cordeiro de Andrade, discussing its political attitudes and understanding it as a social agent. In A Luta (The Fight), it is noticeable, by means of the literary works and the newspapers which was edited, that Cordeiro- The creator is mistaken by Cordeiro - The creature.
