SOUZA-BARBIERI, Aline Vieira de. Passions in the educational discourse of Cecilia Meireles. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2016, vol.30, suppl., pp.355-378. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v30nEspeciala2016-p355a378.

This research analyzes a series of chronicles published by Cecilia Meireles in the newspaper Diário de Notícias, based in Rio de Janeiro, between 1930 and 1933, in which are discussed educational issues and themes related to social situation and the country’s politics. The analysis seeks to identify, in the author’s discourse, the use of passions as argumentative strategy, based on the concepts developed by Aristotle in Rhetoric. The word passion comes from the Latin passio, which descends from the Greek pathos, whose meaning translates the idea of “disturbance of the soul”, an impulsivity that should be tempered and dominated. By writing at a time of strong political tension and instability in education, Meireles uses passions to defend the educational innovations proposed by the New School movement and also to antagonize those responsible for contrary initiatives.

Palavras-chave : Brazilian Education (History); New School; Cecília Meireles; Rhetoric.
