GEVEHR, DANIEL LUCIANO. THE CRISIS OF PLACES OF MEMORY AND SPACES OF IDENTITY IN THE MODERN CONTEXT: QUESTIONS FOR THE HISTORY EDUCATION. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.67, pp.945-962. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782016216748.

The research discusses the impacts of modernity and its different cultural dimensions in the history education, from the reading of reality found in different context of basic education school of Brazilian contemporary. We discuss how the redefinitions of the models that guide the history education - before ruled on memorizing, linearity and heroicizations - today present new problems such as memory's crisis, identity and devaluation (or forgettings) of the places of memory (Nora, 1993) produced by historically different social groups, who spend no more recognize these spaces as representatives of their past. Our research belongs to the field of discussions on the social impacts of liquid modernity (Bauman, 2003) and seeks to reveal how the transformations that occurred in today's society have produced new forms of (re)think about the past.

Keywords : modernity; history education; places of memory.
