TORELLY, Gabriel  and  PEREIRA, Nilton Mullet. A dive into silence: the mystery of History class. Acta Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.43, e48735.  Epub Sep 01, 2021. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v43i0.48735.

This article is a provocation to thought resulting from two research: one thinking the role of imagination in History teaching; and another addressing the limits of language in the theoretical perspective of philosophies of difference. Located in this thematic intersection, via bibliographical review, it deals with silence and mystery as articulating elements of the History class, considering silence as a concept that allows a non-referential look to the classroom, perceiving this space as multiplicity of creative forces. The aim is to accent the creative element in contrast with the reactive element, which is demonstrated by a problematization of the timeline, understood as a control devices of length and bodies. The classroom thus has a mixed nature, consisting both of actualizations and individuations that delimit the formal possibilities of temporalization and of virtualities that are insinuated in order to disrupt the formal strata and produce difference. The mystery is what happens in a History class that has silence as a generator element. Lastly, the generator element of this History class, the silence, is considered as condition of possibility for happenings.

Keywords : imagination; creation; history teaching.
