Abstract

COSTA, Suenya do Nascimento  and  COSTA, Jean Carlo de Carvalho. The political repositioning of the Baron of Abiahy in the educational debates of the end of the Empire and beginning of the Republic. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e089.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-89.

This article demonstrates how Silvino Elvídio Carneiro da Cunha - the baron of Abiahy, an active figure of the political elite in Paraíba and representative of the conservative party, remained a monarchist until the eve of the republican proclamation and had to adhere to the new established regime, adjusting his speech involving educational reforms to remain in conditions of political control. With the Republic, some subjects from the late 19th century repositioned their ideas on central elements of instruction. These discussions, as part of the political competitions, were mainly found in newspapers and presidential reports. It is perceived an adherent and liberal conception in several moments as: defense of the instruction for the naive, ideal of Free Education and creation of night classes for the working adult public. Thus, the adherent character in the performance of the baron of Abiahy is verified, which represented the redefinition of the political game in a period characterized by the coexistence of positions in relation to the educational, political and social order.

Keywords : Educational debates; Adherence; Political culture.
