“Ternura veste branco”: história, espaços e sensibilidades na Escola Estadual de Auxiliar de Enfermagem - Campina Grande.

Abstract

This dissertation aims at problematizing the creation of the Nursing Assistant Regional School in the city of Campina Grande during the 1996‟s (21st century). Our first chapter deals with modernity and Campina Grande‟s hygiene conditions. Our sources of analysis include the newspaper referred to as Jornal da Borborema in Portuguese, in addition to municipal seminars from that period, which show the city‟s everyday life. This being the case, by means of representations, as well as political and intellectual speeches from the aforementioned period, we have the objective of showing how these addresses underlie the creation of the Nursing Assistant Regional School, mainly in 1964. Thus, testimonies from formers students and teachers were also used as a means to help us determine the functioning of the school through everyday schemes. In theoretical-methodological terms, our narrative draws upon concepts formulated by scholars such as Roger Chartier (1990) and Michel de Certeau (2007; 2008).
