CARVALHO, Rosana Areal de and MACHADO, Raphael Ribeiro. Primitivo Moacyr and historiography: between the IHGB's modus operandi and INEP's authorization. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.4, pp.355-364. ISSN 2178-5201. https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v38i4.28147.
Topics for a better understanding of the publications of Primitivo Moacyr´s books in the complex scenario of the 1930s and 1940s in Brazil are analyzed. They are foregrounded on the intentionality of historical production and the scientific status applied to education by the signatories of the 1932 Manifesto. Under the aegis of the modus operandi of the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute (IHGB), Moacyr produced a history of education disseminated in historical congresses and published by the Companhia Editora Nacional. Further, he became a researcher for the National Institute of Pedagogical Studies (INEP) and several books were published by the government press. In fact, he achieved national acknowledgement. INEP´s aimed at acknowledging and systematically retrieving educational experiences to intervene in, reform or revolutionize Brazilian education, to which Moacyr´s contributions were highly relevant. Results show that Moacyr started a type of History of Brazilian Education retrieved from archive research.
