940/5000 Raimundo: The Obsolete Teacher

Abstract

The 20th century has been the scene of substantive transformations in Communication. The flow of information has shortened geographical distances. It mirrors the omniscience of man in every corner of the universe and his dominion over the presuppositions of nature. A few decades ago, perhaps, the most fanciful fictional work had little imagination to anticipate the circumstances of this turn of the century. Contemporary society is driven by information. In no other historical moment, as now, has produced so much text, so many images and so many symbols. In this brief essay, the goal will be to do a Discourse Analysis, with a technique of the Content Analysis Method, according to Bardin (1977). It seeks to understand the ideologization of the teacher, through the character Raimundo, and his relationship with Dona Bela (Zezé Macedo) in a scene from the program A Escolinha do Professor Raimundo.
