The colonial period in the textbooks used in the northern region: the persistence of the business cycle theory (1997-2015)

O artigo objetiva analisar quais são as perspectivas eleitas pela literatura didática para estruturar a narrativa do período colonial brasileiro. Através dos conceitos de Representação de Roger Chartier (1990), de discurso de Mikhail Bakhtin (2006) e de Análise de conteúdo de Lawrence Bardin (2011) analisamos dez coleções didáticas, aprovadas pelo Plano Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD), datadas entre 1997 e 2015. Constatou-se que na mescla de narrativas que constituem a literatura didática sobre o período colonial, ainda predomina a teoria dos ciclos econômicos, onde o bandeirante ocupa um papel crucial.
The article aims to analyze which are the perspectives elected by didactic literature to structure the narrative of the Brazilian colonial period. Through the concepts of Representation by Roger Chartier (1990), discourse by Mikhail Bakhtin (2006) and Content Analysis by Lawrence Bardin (2011) we analyze ten didactic collections, approved by PNLD, dated between 1997 and 2015. It was found that in the mix of narratives that constitute the didactic literature about the colonial period, the theory of economic cycles still predominates, where the bandeirante occupies a crucial role.
