On the Banality Of Evil:

Interdisciplinarity and production of meanings in the educational context

Abstract

The project “The Diary of Anne Frank a history around the world after the 2nd World War” was a work developed in a private school in Santa Catarina, integrating the interdisciplinarity between the disciplines of History and Philosophy. The initial discussion started with the concept of the “Banality of Evil”, the film “Final Operation” and the documentary “The Auschwitz Accountant”. After the debate, the students produced texts giving continuity to Anne Frank's diary, thus producing a book.
