Women as authors: production and circulation of knowledge about physical education in the capixaba prints (1932-1936)

Abstract

It investigates the systematization of knowledge about Physical Education in the monographs, written by the female students of EsEFES and published in local prints between 1933 and 1936. It uses the concepts of strategy and tactics to show of the representations struggles about the authorized knowledge of Physical Education and operates with the indiciary paradigm in the analysis. As sources, it works with the Permanent Archive of Cefd/Ufes, the Diário da Manhã and the Revista de Educação. The published monographs reveal the discursive practices authorized in the EsEFES. The reproduction of knowledge is seen as tactic employed by the teachers, who sought, within a male-dominated space, to obtain symbolic capital to become authorities on physical education in Espírito Santo.
