A escolarização das práticas corporais em meio a “Babel da instrucção publica” baiana: os confrontos em torno da gymnastica, música e dança

Abstract

This thesis deals with the debates which were mobilizing intellectuals around the schooling of gymnastics, music and dance in the Educational Reformation of the Bahia State, enacted in January 5, 1881.Examines how social and racial hierarchies appear in that debate to understand how the public education policy conflicted with the cultural practices of those who sought to educate.Thus realizes the course planned for social evolution and body care from the mix of scientific and pedagogical theories of those intellectuals, as well as the reaction of those to whom these theories were addressed.For writing this thesis we researched a wide range of documents such as articles and theses from doctors of Bahia School of Medicine, newspapers, minutes and correspondence sent by the Director of Public Education to teachers, dissertations produced by teachers for appointment in public schools, the minutes of the regular sessions of the plenary of the provincial legislature, Reports of the Work of the Interim Governing Council, and Examiner Committees from the 1º and 2º Districts of public schools.From the intersection of these sources was possible to prepare an analysis whose perspective is elucidating another chapter in the social history of education in Bahia.
