FRANCO NETO, Vanessa  and  GUIDA, Angela Maria. The mother-subject constitution in mathematics textbooks for countryside education. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2020, vol.45, e38457.  Epub Aug 25, 2023. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644438457.

This article describes the constitution of what was named as mother-subject from the analysis of ten mathematics textbooks produced to primary countryside schools in Brazil. This material composes two collections approved in the National Textbook Program, the PNLD Campo. Foucauldian theorizations about discourse analyses support the description and analysis of a set of sent that affect a body as female cultural performance. The excerpts images, activities and exercises brought replicate stylized practices that inscribe the mother-subject through discursivities directed to a body with a specific gender target: the female. Thus, the data showed that the mathematics curriculum materializes well elaborated narratives that use the contents of this school discipline in order to replicate and constitute a set of values and moralities with a substantial status of truth that guide the modes of being and acting of the body that is seen and seen as female.

Keywords : Mother-subject; Mathematics textbooks; PNLD Campo.
