Rekishido - ensinando a história do Japão ao longo dos caminhos de Ghost of Tsushima

Abstract

This work addresses the History of Japan from an electronic game called Ghost of Tsushima, with an emphasis on the practice of teaching through play. It also seeks to understand the language of the game and the player's social practice, as well as discussing the importance of Asian content that is not conveyed in the basic education curriculum and the importance that games can have in this sense when articulating the teaching of history with these other non-school spaces, such as digital products aimed at entertainment. It relies on the perspective of autoethnography as the basis of the methodology. The propositional dimension materializes in a YouTube channel composed of videos in the format of commented gameplay and its structure is divided into the exposition of the history of Japan and bushidō philosophy contextualized in the game environment, relying on the analysis of anachronisms and stereotypes to raise awareness among viewers, working its narrative in dialogue with productions of different natures and, finally, valuing Asian culture.
