GOUVEA, Fernando César Ferreira. The two "Brazils": the rural and the urban in publications and researches the Brazilian Centre for Educational Research publications (1956-1964). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.3, pp.764-782.  Epub Oct 26, 2020. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n3-2020-7.

The present article has as its study object the publications and research developed by the Brazilian Center for Educational Research (CBPE) - from 1956 to 1964 - that had as its focus the relations between Education and Society in a plot that led to the collation between the “rural world" and the “urban world” in a historical, educational and sociological perspective. It is a historical and documentary research with contributions from Cultural History regarding CBPE printed material as a strategy of institutional legitimation in the field of research regarding the mentioned time frame. The purpose is based on the understanding of the research methodology used by CBPE, also in the field work carried out by the researchers in the construction of the final research reports and in the examination of such reports. The sources used to support this thesis are the Revista Educação e Ciências Sociais (Education and Social Sciences Journal), the CBPE's Monthly Bulletin and the books published by the institution. Thus, we have the following problematic: as results and unfolding actions of the research, has the institution maintained the traditional and dichotomous positioning of an urban world as a sign of progress and a rural world as a synonym for retrocess, or opened space for contemplation and plural pedagogical actions in line with a less classificatory view, thus focusing on possible dialogues between the rural and the urban?

Keywords : History of Education; Publications of the Brazilian Center for Educational Research; Ministry of Education and Culture, 1956-1964.
