Abstract

SILVA, Katiene Nogueira da  and  MENEZES, Roni Cleber Dias de. "Speak little and well, they will have you for someone": schooling, moralization and production of meaning from the memories of José Lins do Rego and Graciliano Ramos (Brazil, 1930-1945). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e077.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-77.

The article on screen focuses on the process of elementary schooling in Brazil in the first half of the 20th century, adopting as an observation angle the production of meaning and the moralizing discourses contained in the practices of schooling in childhood. To this end, it privileges the examination of autobiographical memories about the school experiences of two famous writers of national literature, José Lins do Rego and Graciliano Ramos, present, respectively, in the titles Doidinho and Childhood. Typical examples of training novels, the author-character itineraries invite us to cross the memories of those teaching practices with the drawing they present of family relationships, school institutions, images of the teaching profession and the hierarchies and social transformations that characterize Brazilian society of the period.

Keywords : Elementary schooling; Training novel; Autobiographical memories.
