Considerações sobre a questão Palestina e sua representação nos livros didáticos de Israel a partir de Peled-Elhanan: manipulação ideológica do conflito e o novo imperialismo

Abstract

This work discusses representations of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, based on studies that critically examine the portrayal of Palestine in Israeli textbooks. It also brings conceptual and historical/geographical content contributions to address this conflict in the school subjects of Geography and History in Brazilian basic education. It primarily focuses on the studies of the Israeli scholar Nurit Peled-Elhanan (2019), who sheds light on the ideology and propaganda present in Israeli education, aiding in understanding how the invisibility and visibility of Palestine are depicted in these educational materials, influencing students' perception of the Palestinian issue. Additionally, this study contextualizes the Palestinian issue in light of the critique of postmodernity narratives and the new imperialism presented by the British geographer David Harvey (1992; 2003).
