Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Iranilson Buriti de  and  LEANDRO, Andressa Barbosa de Farias. Association of Alecrim Scout: a "discipline of school and order" for youth natalense. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2017, vol.55, n.45, pp.152-175. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2017v55n45ID12749.

This study analyzes the educational scout practices of the Scout Association of Alecrim (A.E.A), located in Natal-RN, from 1937 to 1945, dialoguing with the political-pedagogical thoughts of the ”Estado Novo”- New state. The work, guided by the theoretical discussions about power and the disciplinary arts, discussed by Michel Foucault (1987), and school culture, proposed by Julia (2001), articulated to the dialogue with written and iconographic sources, found that in this time cut, the political authorities of the New State seized the educational practice of Scouting, incorporating the Brazilian Scout Union (UEB) to the Brazilian Youth Organization. From then on, the Scout Association of Alecrim began to educate and regulate the behavior of the native youth to adapt it to the molds of the current regime. Considering that the Scout Association of Alecrim is part of the educational memory of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, we intend that this study will contribute to the historiography of education in Brazil and stimulate the debate and the academic production on scout practice in other states of the federation.
