Resumo: The representations of the memories of the Portuguese society, and of its history, circulate and are transmitted through the media, but are also spread and (re)legitimated through the themes that compose school curricula. The aim of this study was to analyse the contents of history textbooks used in grammar and high schools. For the younger groups of our society, these textbooks are a privileged mean in the construction and actualization of the social representations of the history of the discovery of Brasil. Two textbooks were selected from three different educational levels, and they were analysed via two different methodologies. The results show differences concerning the structure and the thematic content of the textbooks, revealing some heterogeneity between them, as well as between the three educational levels. This heterogeneity suggests the existence of a qualitative differentiation at the level of social representations that are spread through young people by means of the textbooks.

O objectivo deste estudo foi analisar os conteúdos dos manuais de história do ensino básico e complementar, enquanto instrumento privilegiados na construção e actualização das representações sobre a história da descoberta do Brasil, nos grupos sociais mais jovens. Foram selecionados dois manuais, em três níveis escolares, e o material escolhido foi submetido a duas metodologias de análise. Os resultados obtidos permitiram verificar diferenças quanto à estrutura e aos conteúdos temáticos dos manuais, o que revela alguma heterogeneidade entre eles, e entre os níveis escolares analisados. Esta heterogeneidade sugere a existência duma diferenciação qualitativa ao nível das representações sociais que são difundidas aos grupos mais jovens, através dos manuais escolares.
