Abstract

This research developed in the Professional Master in History aims to propose a reflection on the gender debate and violence in school history teaching. The proposition was made from the crime processes research, which identifies how the gender identities were represented in court proceedings relating to the crime of seduction between of 1940 to 1970 to reflect on the construction of gender stereotypes that influence the relationship between men and women still in the present day, relationships that are often marked by violence and permanency of the patriarchal culture. From the research, was produced a teaching material in book format to work with adolescents, which shows the process of knowledge construction history with the use of criminal prosecutions as a historical source and discussing gender representations expressed in speeches by criminal prosecutions. The sources used in the research are an integral part of the Legal Acquis that lies under the guard of the Centre for documentation and research in History, Department of History of the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa - room of Judicial document.For data analysis was employed the qualitative method, through content analysis, anchored in the concept of genre (in the perspective of Joan Scott (1990), Heleieth Safiotti (2001), Guacira Lopes Louro (1995; 2008) and others) and the theory of social representations of Serge Moscovici (1978), considering that the goal is to analyze the representations about the male and female in lawsuits of sexual crimes.To understand women's participation and the different historical spaces and times, studying their experiences, trajectories, and transformations in behavioral patterns and the way of living sexuality are elements that need to be worked out in History classes.Knowing these trajectories may allow students to identify women as active historical subjects, their struggles for equal rights throughout history, and how stereotypes have been built over time on an ideal female profile.This subject needs to be deconstructed, since each subject is unique and its particularities must be respected, and it is not possible to impose a unique identity on all women.
