Abstract

BARREIRA, Luiz Carlos. Libertarian education in the Journal Cultura Popular (Lisbon, 1919). Perspectiva [online]. 2011, vol.29, n.01, pp.339-364. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article presents and analyses the bulletin entitled Cultura Popular, edited by Atheneu Popular, a libertarian educational institution founded in Lisbon in 1917. Although the bulletin was short lived, it provides significant information for studies of the making of the urban working class at the threshold of capitalist modernity, whose main source is the labor press. Some of this information concerns the emphasis that the bulletin gave to education about behavior without, however, ignoring the importance of broader instruction. Through this kind of education, they sought to have the working class cultivate new habits, such as personal hygiene.

Keywords : Circulation of Social and Pedagogical Models; Libertarian Education; Cultura Popular Newspaper (Lisbon, 1919).
