Da roça à cartilha: trajetórias profissionais de professoras leigas rurais de Lavras da Mangabeira (1972-1992)

Abstract

This present text came from an inquiry on professional trajectories of Law Teachers in Lavras da Magabeira city countryside, during the period of 1970’s and 1980’s. Our research hypothesis is that these women’s life and work trajectories had a closed relactionship, and this is reinforced because these people started working as law teachers due to political interests envolving their fathers or relatives. Another evidence is that their remuneration was very low, and they kept working as farmers and peasants, small crafters or even selling milk, bread and cheese. Our main objective is to know the process of identity formation as law teachers, starting on oral evidence from women who were law teachers in Lavras’ countryside between 1970’s and 1980’s. Our theoretical basis were writers and researchers like Fátima Leitão Araújo, Maria das Graças de Araújo, Jacques Therrien e Antônio Nóvoa, among others. Our methodology consists in half-structured interviews with some teachers who would be available to be interviewed and stay according to research time and place parameters. So we compare their different oral evidences and we will get some important ideas about law teachers in that region. We also intend to research on written evidence, e.g., functional registration and payment lists.
