"CARE OF READING": BOOKS AND READING IN THE JOURNALISTIC COLUMN TEACHING AND EDUCATION IN CEARÁ FROM THE YEARS 1944 TO 1950

Abstract

The present work sought to give visibility to the orientations about book and reading by Prof. Antônio Coelho Sampaio, in the journal Education and Education, published in the periodical Gazeta de Notícias, in the state of Ceará, from 1944 to 1950. For this reason, the contents of this column were not taken as real speeches, journal - a medium in which it was published - a place of dialogue, debate, controversy, in order to represent a discourse that left traces, showing the relations between the newspaper and those to whom it was destined. In this sense, Roger Chartier's conception of representation was taken as a theoretical-methodological reference, taking into account that each series of discourses should be understood in its singularity, that is, in its places of production, circulation and appropriation. In this work, we find that there is a preponderance of discourses about the supposedly forbidden readings - more valued as bad, vis and amoral than properly orientations on what one should read.
