ABSTRACT
In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the challenges for the teaching of history found, in technology, new support, but also contradictions. With a new perspective on the teaching of the discipline, anchored in the theoretical field of Historical Education, the work based on the epistemology of History started to demand from historian teachers a practice in which the relationship with historical sources is fundamental. In this way, the idea of a historical source was further expanded, as the web contains an infinite number of materials that can be conceived as historical documents. In addition, the use of the internet as a means of interaction between different subjects in the schooling process presupposed a relationship in which technology needed to be redefined due to the possibility of support, but also ask for its influence as a disseminator of superficial and skeptical ideas regarding the scientific knowledge.
ABSTRACT
The text proposes to analyze the management of the co-vid-19 crisis in the year 2020 by establishing some highlights of the public conduct of Chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany, and in dialogue with Max Weber's classic conferences “Science as a vocation” and “Politics as a vocation” of 1919. Finally, it allows for some contrasting aspects with the pandemic's conduct in the Global South, especially in Brazil, both in its collective and creative production, and in its neglect of science and politics, in the conduct of the current president. © 2021.
