Harry Potter. Story. Teaching History. Cronotope. Evidential Paradigm
The children's Harry Potter series created by the British author J.K. Rowling has populated the imagination of children, young people and adults for almost two decades, and is composed of seven books. The narrative is marked by the presence and appreciation of History and History Teaching and this peculiar aspect instigated the existence of this research. Seeking to understand how these marks of history are present in the saga, the contributions of Bakhtin and his reflections on the human sciences and, the heuristic method of Carlo Giznburg, denominated Evidential Paradigm, were chosen as methodological theoretical reference. From a detailed reading of the books that compose the saga, analyzes were woven and indicated how history is present in the fictional narrative and how this feature encourages in its readers, reflections on its own daily life and forms conceptions of School, History and History Teaching.
