SILVA, Márcia Cabral da  and  PINTO, Mariane Sousa. Discourses in dispute about the Bibliotheca Infantil (Children's Library) in O Paiz (1894 -1899). Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2018, vol.56, n.47, pp.221-243. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2018v56n47ID14005.

In this study, we analyze the speeches published in the periodical O Paiz about the conformation of the Bibliotheca Infantil (Children's Library) related to Livraria do Povo (Bookstore of the People). The press as a privileged source within the scope of historical research allows the reflection on the social, political and cultural context, as well as establishing strategies for forming public opinion. Through critical notes, articles and announcements about the Bibliotheca Infantil (Children's Library) published in the newspaper, the objective was to understand the tensions and discursive disputes surrounding the conformation of the library. Concerning the possibilities of the discourses’ analysis in O Paiz, we have adopted, especially, the Bakhtinian perspective. With a view of the research steps already completed we have observed the importance of the bookstore in regard to access to reading in the period analyzed because of the production of cheap books for the people. We have also noticed the fierce discursive dispute among those who intended to editorial domain related to the books aimed at the children at the time.

Keywords : Bibliotheca Infantil (Children’s Library); O Paiz; Discourses.
