Starting from recent problematizations about the discipline of History, in this article we carried out the analysis of 277 discourses about the history of Brazil written by young people aged between 12-24 years old from the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná. For operationalizing the sources, we used some software to arrange the narratives in a graph, which was organized based on the relationship established between the various words that make up the discursive set. We compared the product of the analysis with problematizations about the concepts of “presentism” and “actualism”, in the perspective of understanding the regime of historicity. The results express that mentions to the future and effects of historical knowledge for practical purposes of temporal orientation are not directly mobilized in the discourses. Furthermore, it is clear that the few allusions to an idea of the future, as well as references to the past, are projections of its own present, presenting no novelty.
