Educators in Territories of Political Sociability (Brazil, 1934-1935)

Abstract

The article analyzes the engagement of educators who were willing to face problems of education and culture, beyond the institutional limits of the school and the pedagogical and instrumental aspects of education, getting involved in the struggles for national reconstruction through associativism. Based on periodicals, the analysis took as a reference the actions of the Club de Cultura Moderna, an anti-fascist association. The examination of the sources, in their correlation with the cultural, political and social conditions of the period, made it possible to follow the process of formation of the association in interdependence with the sensitivities and solidarities operative in the constitution of that association’s forms of intervention in the public debate.
