A cidade vai ao campo : o serviço de radiodifusão e a educação rural nos anos de 1943 a 1951

Abstract

This research intends to analyze the conceptions of rural education that materialized with the implementation of the Educational Broadcasting Service (SRE), from 1943 to 1951, trying to discuss the ideas in dispute that are embodied in the performance of this service. The demarcated period is justified, because in 1943 the Service was created and with it occurred to the possession of the first directorate of the Educational Broadcasting Service. For the direction of the Service was named the Bahian physician Fernando Tude de Souza. The year 1951 marks the end of this board. Created by the Minister of Education and Health, Gustavo Capanema, during the New State period (1937-1945), the Educational Broadcasting Service was conceived as part of the civilizing movement that thought education and health as elements capable of integrating the country and regenerate the people plagued by disease and illiteracy. In this sense, some questions appear as significant: What conceptions of education, and especially rural education, were in dispute in the implementation of the service? How did the rural education project undertaken by the Educational Broadcasting Service materialize? In order to weave this plot we will use as documentary sources, the Brazilian Statute of Broadcasting (1935), the magazine Childhood and Youth (1936-1937), the letters, conferences and speeches given by Fernando Tude de Souza (1943-1951). In this way, the dialogue with the sources will be constituted with Velho (1987), Rangel (1997), Oliveira (2001), Freitas (2001), Sirinelli (2003), Calabre (2004), Camara Pandolfi (2012), Capelato (2012), Velloso (2012), Oliveira (2012), among others.
