Sources for the history of Brazilian education: considerations about the protestant catechisms
Keywords:
protestant catechism, history of education, BrazilAbstract
Anchored on the assumptions of cultural history, the present paper analyzes a type of printed protestant: the catechism. In order to analyze the materiality and show values distributed in print, we choose as the object of analysis catechisms, namely: Catechismo brief (1892), The brief catechism (1927) and Primer with prints (S/D). The theoretical approach is guided by Robert Darnton (1990), Roger Chartier (1998) e Carlo Ginzburg (1979) which discourse about the circulation of printed reading practices and the concept of cultural circularity, the protestant catechisms were used as teaching tools by american presbyterians in Brazil in the nineteenth century and functioned as an instrument of prescriptive inculcation of habits and values that should be externalized through attitudes and behaviors, demonstrating christian character.
