SILVEIRA, Matheus Henrique da. THE “HEADS OF DISCIPLINE”: CHILDREN'S INVENTIVITY IN THE 1930S. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2021, vol.51, e07076.  Epub 28-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053147076.

The article investigates the daily school life of the “childish problems” analyzed by Arthur Ramos as director of the Serviço de Ortofrenia e Higiene Mental [Orthophrenia and Mental Hygiene Service] (SOHM) in Rio de Janeiro, focusing on the study Service files and the doctor's personal file. We sought to examine school practices from the perspective of “playgrounds”, approaching a group of children who called themselves “heads of discipline”, in the sense of, from their stories, dealing with indiscipline as an object performance of school services, specifically the SOHM. It was observed that children's inventiveness sometimes subverted the relationships established between adults and children, whether in school, public (like the street) or private (like home) spaces.
