- Title
STATE, KNOWLEDGE AND POWER IN BRAZIL.
- Authors
de Mendonça, Sonia Regina
- Abstract
This work analyses the relations established between the state, knowledge and power in Brazil during the first half of the twentieth century with a particular focus on higher agricultural education, based on the study of two of the period's most important agricultural Schools in Piracicaba and Rio de Janeiro. The analysis is based on intensive research into the profile of the teaching and student bodies of both institutions - their regional, social and family backgrounds, etc. - as well as on an assessment of the existing curriculum structures in the two state-run Schools and the respective modifications within the time frames stipulated. Analysing this data permits the verification of the formation of two different class habitus, according to the institutions attended and the class fractions linked to each of them: one basically destined to reproduce the agriculturists' class condition, and the other focused on the construction of a new "state nobility".
