SOUZA, Luani de Liz y SILVA, Vera Lucia Gaspar da. “Industrialize” Teachers: a cartography of film projectors in Brazil (1910 to 1930). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.20, e026. Epub 29-Ene-2022. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v20-2021-26.
This text presents data that characterize the physical and rhetorical presence and the circulation of film projectors in Brazilian schools. The documentation consulted allows constructing (or reconstructing) part of a narrative that praises modernity and progress in education through the invention, manufacture and commercialization of a set of artifacts, including film projectors. From the narrative of modernity, fostered by World’s Fairs, to alliances between the educational sector and an industry that discovered a large market in schools, a map is constructed that portrays the presence of companies, commercial representatives and projectors in schools. No less important is the formulation of the Instituto de Cinema Educativo, its functions and activities, and the commercial relations it established with international film companies. The narrative of school content is thus guided by interests of the film industry and its allies and spokespersons who defend the need to “industrialize” teachers.
