Dos castigos e da disciplina: práticas escolares no território sul sergipano

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the life of the teacher Maria Eurides da Silva, she's 81 years old, and lives in Itabaianinha, Sergipe. In order to understand her teaching practice, we investigated her life story, trying to find the data which could explain her local representation. In order to achieve our goal, we recall the methodology of oral history, according to Montenegro (2010) and the analysis category of Disciplinary Power of Foucault (1975, 1979), which allowed us to verify that the aspect that give sustainability to the representation of our character is the method of education, since it can instill accepted behaviors and conducts, recognized by all who, directly or indirectly, were influenced by her teaching practices.
