ALBUQUERQUE, Suzana Lopes de  and  BOTO, Carlota. Sounds of literacy in Brazil Empire: present of Castilho and Jacotot. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.20, e018.  Epub Jan 29, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v20-2021-18.

In order to indicate the "systematic fonic education" as one of its guiding principles, the National Literacy Policy (2019) resonates a latent imperial methodological discussion that perpetrated the quarrels between the synthetic and analytical marches in the teaching of the mother tongue. This article presents the arrays of the phonic method created by the Portuguese António Feliciano de Castilho (1855) and the analytical method of Universal Education created by Joseph Jacotot (1834), that circulated and generated clashes on Brazilian soil in the 19th century. Restricting divergences in the literacy process to the methodological aspect of adopting these marches reiterates the technical bias decoupled from the social, historical, political and cultural context of the subjects involved.

Keywords : Literacy; Castilho; Jacotot.
