The analysis of curriculum policies for History Teaching in the last decades shows the persistence of a linear and progressive time perspective in curricular organization.Supported by Ivor Goodson, François Hartog and Reinhart Kosseleck’s theories, this characteristic is understood as part of a disciplinary tradition that remains stable since nineteenth century, when History had achieved a status of school discipline. This tradition is here defined as a modern one since it contains evidences of a modern regime of historicity. It had resulted in a specific place for Brazilian History in historical narratives, related to an Eurocentric logic that excludes or settles the Other in a secondary place in the process of History. This thesis aims to criticize this perspective and to propose an alternative approach based on the contributions of Boaventura de Sousa Santos. Santos critics of modern western thinking indicate the possibility of overcome rational monocultures through a sociology of absences, sociology of emergences and a work of translation. Therefore, I argue that a critical view of the monoculture of linear time in History teaching promotes the emergence of other possible histories. The emphasis on temporal dimension of simultaneity favors contacts and confrontations required for the establishment of intercultural dialogues in school knowledge. Recognized in its epistemological specificity and cultural dimension, the school knowledge is able to be and adequate space for the work of translation. The research focuses two History textbooks collections approved in PNLD 2011 in order to find evidences of tradition and signs of alternative. It also seeks to reveal assimetric modes of production which forge non-existences as well as to symbolically enlarge the possibilities of historical narratives. Content analysis investigates the place of Brazilian History in the general curricular organization of textbooks and conceptions of time that are made explicit and mobilized in the treatment of content. The different curricular organization of each textbook – chronological and thematic organization – establishes different limitations and advantages to build intercultural contact areas. Nevertheless, the analyses underline the potential development of a multiplicity of temporalities through the historical notion of permanence.
