FAVERO, Osmar. As fichas de cultura do sistema de alfabetização: Paulo Freire: um “Ovo de Colombo”. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.37, pp.465-483. ISSN 1981-0431.

The article begins by revisiting the theoretical elaborations on culture and popular culture which served as the foundation for the creation of the centres and movements of popular culture and education the 1960’s. It then presents the anthropological concept of culture adopted by Paulo Freire in the System of Adult Literacy whose first experience was carried out in Angicos (State of Rio Grande do Norte) in 1963. It analyses the innovative character of the culture slides, motivators of the literacy process. It reproduces and comments the artistic illustrations on these slides, designed by Francisco Brennand for the National Literacy Programme, which was to be implanted throughout the country, but it was abruptly interrupted by the military coup of 31st March 1964.

Keywords : Culture; Popular Culture; Literacy; Paulo Freire; Culture Slides.
