BRISKIEVICZ, Danilo Arnaldo. Health of body and soul as a school mission: hygienism, ultramontanism and teaching of children, adolescent girls, and young women in Brazil, from Serro, Minas Gerais (1904-1921). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.20, e035.  Epub 29-Jan-2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v20-2021-35.

We analyzed the relationship between school instruction, “pedagogical” hygienism and catholic ultramontanism in the context of the creation of Colégio Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Our Lady of Conception School) in the city of Serro, Minas Gerais, Brazil, for the care of children, adolescent girls and young women in their orphanage, boarding school, and normal school. We investigated three institutions that operated in perfect sync with the hygienist project of Serro: Irmandade de Santa Tereza, the City Council and the catholic church. We discuss how hygienism interfered with the school education and its teaching practices in the context of the moralization of orphaned children, adolescent girls, and young women. The methodology used was bibliographic research for mapping, collection, and interpretation of documents from public and private archives, and for the consultation of authors specializing in the subject. The result is a broadening of understanding of the way the catholic church acts in popular moralization through its confessional colleges.
