Abstract

GONDRA, José G.. Genealogy as a contramory exercise: Afranio Peixoto and the emergence of the school (1932-1942). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.2, pp.377-391.  Epub June 05, 2020. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n2-2020-7.

In this article, I explore some of the narrative principles contained in the book Notions of History of Education, object of three successive reissues (1933, 1936 and 1942), by the polygraph, Afrânio Peixoto, resulting from the three years of his life (1932-1934) to the (,) teaching of history of education at the Institute of Education of Rio de Janeiro. In this narrative, Peixoto offers future teachers what he calls “a history of civilization”, capital considered necessary for them to understand the "extreme tip of the past" and other present times, a condition to obtain a greater professionalization of teaching. With this investment, the author works in the registry of a type of school origin, of first foundation, operating with fundamental milestones to prove the substance and functions of this event. In the present exercise, I seek to undo the immovable perpetuation of a supposed school identity and its operation, suspended in time, to try to think about the production process and the historiographic operations and pedagogical movement to which the cited manual joins, which helps to legitimize and reproduce.

Keywords : Afrânio Peixoto; Notions of History of Education; Historiography of Brazilian Education.
