Abstract
The present research investigates the narratives of the column Da Educação (On Education), published in the black press O Exemplo (1892-1930), between 1917, in the city of Porto Alegre (RS), from the theoretical perspective of Cultural Studies and History of Education. The central objective of the study is to discuss and problematize the pedagogical potential of this printed media, analyzing how these narratives sought to educate the black community in the post-abolition period. Among the results, it should be noted that the normative narratives produced in this column were based on the manuals of civility and in the medical-hygienist and positivist discourses that circulated in Brazil between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Based on these premises, these normative narratives disseminated rules of conduct and behavior, "pedagogies of good manners", that black people should follow in different social spaces, with the aim of re-educating them and making them civilized and hygienic citizens, in order to better integrate them into the Brazilian society of the time.
