Public education spatialization regime: university projects, education policies and historical knowledge in Brazil (1964-2020)

Abstract

This article seeks to think about the production of historical knowledge in Brazil in its relationship with public education policies, the roles assumed by the university in the post-coup from 1964 to the present day. It also discusses how the academic historical knowledge was produced from the creation of the National Postgraduate System (NPS). The text is divided into four parts, in the first and second, I discuss the creation of universities in Brazil, to then reflect on the university reform of 1968 and place it within the discussion that establishes the creation of a National Education System. In the third, I discuss the creation of the NPS and its working within universities. Finally, I present the concept of spatialization regimes as a heuristic tool to think the relationship between education policies, university, NPS and historical knowledge.
