A construção da escola pública no Rio de Janeiro imperial
Abstract
Abstract In Brazil, the borders between the public and the private, however tenuous they may seem, were being built along the 19th century, mainly from some fundamental marks of the Brazilian political history: when it stopped being a Portuguese America to become an independent country under a monarchical regime, in 1822, and later under a republican regime, in 1889. Such an article intends to contribute for a reflection on that still open issue of the Brazilian life, through the public school in the imperial Rio de Janeiro, looking for subsides in different levels of analysis such as the legislation, the classes taught at the teachers’ houses, the construction of buildings for the public schools and the communities’ participation. This article also intends to present the characteristics that marked the path of the public educational system, especially when it was created, with the coming of the Aulas Régias, and after the Additional Act in 1834.
