The investigative possibilities of historical learning of young students from the comic books

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate how the historical truth and intersubjectivity organize the way young people take knowledge to themselves. This research is structured in relations between the youth culture, comic books and the historical culture of a society (RÜSEN, 2009). Investigative possibilities were analyzed in the relationship between comic books and historical learning of young students. The types of investigations on the graphic historical narratives into the school culture are discussed: 1) the comic books linked to the market for fictional histories in historical comic books; 2) textbooks; 3) the histories in didactic comic books in the form of textbooks; 4) the comic books produced by the students themselves; and 5) the autobiographical graphic narratives.
