As representações das cavalhadas no ensino de história na educação em Pirenópolis

Abstract

This paper analyzes the representations of Cavalhadas in history teaching in Pirenópolis, through cavalhadinhas, highlighting their relevance as a cultural, religious, and educational manifestation. The research seeks to understand how this tradition, which originated in the Iberian Peninsula and was incorporated into colonial Brazil, contributes to the formation of local identity and to the teaching of history through the staging of this equestrian theater with children. Through a literature review and cultural analysis, the role of Cavalhadas as intangible heritage and a pedagogical resource for the appreciation of regional culture and the strengthening of collective memory is highlighted.
