The long, concrete, and imaginary presence of the history of education foreign textbooks in Brazil (1930-1980)

Abstract:

This paper results from a study on the foreign textbooks História da educação by Paul Monroe and História da educação e da pedagogia by Lorenzo Luzuriaga, published by Companhia Editora Nacional, between 1930 and 1980, belonging to the Collection Atualidades Pedagógicas. Methodologically, it has two analytical fronts. The first is to enter the production universe of these books since they are ‘concrete objects’ in circulation. The second is to investigate the forms of content organization, observing their meanings, as an ‘imaginary place’ of the History of Education (HE). Through this research, we conclude that these textbooks contributed to the memory of teacher training and the history of HE, whereby an educational past became its great lesson.
