Descripción
Sumario:This work, which is the result of the doctoral thesis entitled Historical awareness and teaching the Colombian armed conflict: An analysis of social sciences textbooks (1984–2016), explains the-oretical elements to understand the importance of connecting historical awareness to the epistemological, ethical and polit-ical aspects encountered while teaching recent history at the school level. In the discussion, the authors begin by analyzing the challenges involved in teaching violent pasts; furthermore, they define historical conscience, considering the elements that comprise it. Finally, the potential of establishing a rela-tionship between historical consciousness and teaching recent history is discussed. The last section includes the main points of the work, emphasizing the importance of building theoret-ical bridges to understand various historical narratives within a school setting.
