JUNGES, Débora de Lima Velho. The use of textbooks of mathematics in schools of german immigration during of the Campaign of Nationalization. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.49, pp.227-247. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v23i49.1121.

This article aims to analyze the school ritual of schoolbook use, especially the use of school textbooks of mathematics, which worked in the form of the school life in students descended from German immigrants in the Rio Grande do Sul during the period of the Nationalization Campaign, between 1938 and 1945. The theoretical tools of the study are linked to researchers of German immigration and Foucaultian theorizations. The research material consisting of narratives of six people who studied in schools of German immigration, in Rio Grande do Sul, during the mentioned period. The main results of the research indicates that the textbooks used prior to the Nationalization Campaign were considered better than those that came to be used, because they brought references to Germanic culture, and that the use of the school book in mathematics classes constituted a ritual in which the mechanisms of power acted upon the descendant students of German immigrants with a view to disciplining their bodies.

Keywords : Campaign of Nationalization; schoolbooks; mathematical education.
