BRISKIEVICZ, Danilo Arnaldo. The Lyceum of Arts and Crafts in Serro/MG and the education of the naive (1879-1883). Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2020, vol.46, e222594.  Epub 03-Jul-2020. ISSN 1678-4634.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1678-4634202046222594.

The aim of this study is to analyze public instruction intended - even if not explicitly – for the social control of those who had left slavery in the city of Serro/MG, and old gold village in Brazil, created in 1702 by bandeirantes (slavers and fortune hunters) from the state of São Paulo. In this specific case, such students are the first children of enslaved people who could have their naïve ones released in the baptismal font by the parish priests due to the promulgation of Act No. 2040, of 28 September 1871, popularly called the Free Womb Act (Lei do Ventre Livre). The daily life of the Lyceum of Arts and Crafts in Serro/MG” is investigated – limited to the documents found in archives – as well as the social, political and economic conflicts involved in its creation, operation and closure. Based on the predominantly bibliographic research in public and private archives, the purpose was to present a broader scenario looking at the interfaces of public education and the maintenance of social inequalities in Brazil in the years around the abolition of slavery, adjusted by the speeches of the local elite. Research on this period of Brazilian public education is expected to assist in understanding the challenges inherent in education in its relations to power and its maintenance or the critique of its social function.
