Cultura escolar, memória e sensibilidades no Colégio Alfredo Dantas (1945-1975).

Abstract

This research is based on the paths of the History of Paraiba Education, more specifically a school institution; the Alfredo Dantas College (CAD), located in Campina Grande/PB. Our time frame is between 1945 and 1975, a period that demarcated the management of Severino Loureiro and the normative and pedagogical changes that began to identify the institution. In this text, we dialogue with the political conjuncture that reverted in the Military Dictatorship, as well as we seek to reflect the history of the schoolearian from its relationship with the city. To this end, we dialogue with the discussions of Luciano Faria Filho (and his contributions on School Culture), Sandra Pesavento (about the education of sensitivities) and Jacques Le Goff (with the concept of memory), as well as with the reflections of Alessandro Portelli (on oral narratives). Methodologically we enter the path offered by discourse analysis, from the readings of Michel Foucault, to analyze the set of documents cataloged in our research. Still in this direction we have the methodological aspect of Thematic Oral History, for the collection of oral data. In the universe of sources consulted, we access the school archive (physical and virtual), period newspapers and correspondence. To date, we have observed that the school culture proper to CAD has an intense connection with the historical period studied, echoing in the memories of the subjects who are part of the history of the city of Campina Grande. Severino Loureiro's trajectory reverberates in the mission of educating a city for growth, imbriated in the marks and vestiges of the Military Dictatorship and its mechanisms of repression and silencing. So we open the doors to the following text.
