RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA DO PROJETO “A HISTÓRIA EM 60 MINUTOS – TEMPORADA III”

Abstract

This work, developed by the Research Group "Implicated Subject - History, Fiction, Action", aimed to produce a series of nineteen recorded interviews with historians, with a main focus on discussing the current context of historical science and the historian profession in Brazil, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the History course at CERES/UFRN. The interviewees included professors, former professors and graduates of the course who work in various institutions in the country in the area of ​​History. The interviews, lasting 60 minutes each, were accompanied by the creation of promotional materials, such as promotional cards and a 1-minute audiovisual teaser, aiming to promote the series on social media, especially on the project's Instagram and YouTube. This initiative is a continuation of experiences that began in 2022, when the use of live broadcasts and audiovisual materials intensified due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on education between 2020 and 2021. In addition, factors such as the Brazilian political and social scenario of the last decade, the expansion of the fields of Public History and Digital History, and the official recognition of the historian profession contributed to the motivation and justification of the project. In this way, the work also sought to promote the use of audiovisual language in scientific dissemination, evaluating the format of the interviews and the different audiences throughout their execution. Another objective was to present a broad view of the perspectives of History professionals on the central issues of the field in the 21st century. The interviews were broadcast on the "Sujeito Implicado – Laboratório e Acervo" channel on YouTube and Spotify. In addition, a discussion group was created with the interested public, which met monthly to analyze the content covered in the interviews.
