| Abstract | |
This study focus on two schoolbooks of Hygiene, A fada Hygia: primeiro livro de Hygiene and Cartilha de Hygiene: alfabeto da saúde, developed by the pharmacist and eugenicist doctor Renato Ferraz Kehl, between the years of 1923 and 1936. These materials were recommended and adopted by Office of Public Instruction (Diretoria Geral de Instrução Pública) of the Distrito Federal and by the states of São Paulo, Pará and Pernambuco and, later, by Education Committee (Comissão de Educação), for early school years. These manuals were also mentioned at the most important Brazilian newspapers, and yet reverberating in some foreign journals. We propose to analyze these schoolbooks in its various dimensions, regarding to the social context of their production; the identification of social circles created for their dissemination; the repercussions in specialized and mass circulation newspapers; the changes through the different editions. We also intended to relate these dimensions of the manuals with a study of the author professional path. The results of this research point to the bond established between the schoolbooks of Hygiene selected and an ideal of "eugenization" of society in the early decades of the 20th century. (AU) | |
