Abstract
História em Quarentena foi um projeto de história pública elaborado com o intuito de lidar com as incertezas geradas pela crise sanitária decorrentes da pandemia da COVID-19, propondo refletir sobre temas ligados à divulgação do conhecimento histórico. A partir dos parâmetros teórico-metodológicos da história pública, este artigo analisa as principais diretrizes que balizaram o pro-jeto História em Quarentena, além de narrar o seu desenvolvimento e avaliar os seus resultados. Nessa discussão, ganham especial relevância a percepção de sucesso e fracasso, a importância da história pública como ferramenta para ampliar a inserção do conhecimento histórico na esfera pública em momentos de crise e, também, os desafios de construir um empreendimento dessa natureza diante das dificuldades criadas pela pandemia. As transformações da proposta inicial do projeto, ocorridas ao longo de seu desenvolvimento, podem funcionar como uma chave de compreensão sobre os obstáculos que a história pública enfrenta para atrair um público amplo. Indica-se, ainda, a necessidade de os historiadores estarem atentos às questões postas pelo presente para facilitar o estabelecimento de diálogos com a sociedade, evitando que as produçõeshistoriográficas circulem apenas entre seus pares
Historia em Quarentena was a public history project designed to deal with the uncertainties generated by the health crisis resulting from the pandemic of covid-19, proposing to reflect on issues related to the dissemination of historical knowledge. Based on the theoretical-methodological parameters of public history, this article analyzes the main guidelines that marked the Historia em Quarentena project, in addition to narrating its development and evaluating its results. In this discussion, the perception of success and failure, the importance of public history as a tool to expand the insertion of historical knowledge in the public sphere in times of crisis, and also the challenges of developing such an enterprise in the face of the difficulties created by the pandemic, gain special relevance. The transformations of the initial proposal of the project, which occurred during its development, can act as a key to understand the difficulties that public history has in attracting a wide audience. It is also indicated the need for historians to be careful about the questions posed by the present to facilitate the establishment of dialogues with the society, preventing historiographic productions from circulating only among their equals.
