Abstract

This study investigates the memorialist speech of Paschoal Lemme (1904-1977), educator who served in Brazil from the 1920s and 1960s under the movement called New School. The primary sources are his memories published by Editora Cortez / INEP in the 1980s, that was studied in previous investigations and now are analyzed work by means of rhetoric analysis methodology based on Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca. The goal is to identify the central arguments and argumentative strategies used by the author in defense of his thesis, placing your persuasive discourse in the context of the publication of his works, and so introduce the rhetorical analysis method as a valid alternative for examining memorialist speeches. The first chapter discusses the use of autobiographies in historical researches placing them as object of rhetoric analysis. The second chapter presents the autobiography of Paschoal Lemme and contextualizes the facts narrated in order to understand the image of his life and actions created by him. The third chapter analyzes the discourse of the author focusing on their core arguments in defense of his political conceptions in education. The fourth chapter presents the rhetoric analysis of the author memories, highlighting the argumentative strategies present in his speech, which displays typical of the generation of intellectuals who served between the years 1920 and 1940 in Brazil. The conclusion argues that the messianic image built by Paschoal Lemme acts as argumentative strategy in defense of his thesis. In the conclusion, the paper presents a discussion of the audience targeted by the author in the 1980s, moment marked by intense debate among several educational concepts. (AU)
