FADUL, Cecília Rodrigues  and  GALVAO, Ana Maria de Oliveira. Memory schools: representations of the school among new literate (Minas Gerais, decades of 1900 to 1930)). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.2, pp.459-480.  Epub June 05, 2020. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n2-2020-11.

The article aimed to analyze the school representations that authors of autobiographies - born in Minas Gerais from the end of the 19th century and considered new literate - built throughout their life trajectories and produced in their works. We analyzed seven autobiographies, understood as meaningful documents to reach the personal experiences of a group that built singular representations about the school. It was concluded that the school, for the new scholars, was overestimated, especially as a mechanism of inclusion in a society that, over the years - between the time of memories and the time of writing - has seen the increase in the value of schooling and literacy. The authors sought, through the school, to be included in the group of those who, by the knowledge path, occupied distinctive places. The writing of a book seemed to shape the ideal outcome of this symbolic ascent.

Keywords : Education in Minas Gerais in the Republic; School Representations; Autobiography.
