Abstract

SANTANA, Marco Antonio de. A sui generis educational process: the pedagogy for love in a Brazilianized idyll. Educ. Form. [online]. 2023, vol.8, e11262.  Epub Jan 02, 2024. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v8.e11262.

This paper seeks to understand the meaning and the nature of the label “idyll”, purposefully employed by Mário de Andrade in the novel To love, intransitive verb, as an important element for reading the work, emphasizing the representations of female teachers who worked in the homes of some wealthy families in São Paulo in the early twentieth century. The pedagogy of love as a contingency of a type of social need contrasts with the classical sense of idyll, for in this work it denotes a peculiar purity that is relentless for a demanded love education that aimed at patrimonial protection. In this research we used the methodology pertinent to the notion of historiographical operation, through which we were able to verify that the literary text, through verisimilitude, also has the ability to shed light on the educational past.

Keywords : To love, intransitive verb; homeschooling; history of education; idyll.
