BARREIRA, Luiz Carlos. Educate or instruct? Anarcho-syndicalist narratives in the early years of the Portuguese Republic: Lumen magazine (Lisbon, 1911-1913). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.1, pp.213-231. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v17n1-2018-13.

This article focuses on the actions of a group of Portuguese intellectuals in the early twentieth century who presented itself as anarcho-syndicalist. Calling itself Lumen Group, its actions aimed at the formation of the human being. Among such actions, the text highlights the creation of a magazine, entitled Lumen, through which the Group published its thesis on educating and instructing, choosing as a reference the experiences of the Escola Oficina Nº 1 of Lisbon and the Escola Moderna, directed by Ferrer y Guardia, in Barcelona. The analytical perspective adopted by the author puts the press in the field of social history, under which it is conceived as a set of constitutive social practices. Through the press, the Lumen Group proposed a secular, scientific and free education program as a necessary component to create a self-governed (stateless) society.

Keywords : Anarcho-Syndicalism; Libertarian Formation; Lumen Magazine; Portugal.
