Julia Augusta Wanderley: the teacher'sremembrance by Osvaldo Pilotto during the brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1974)

Abstract

This article discusses the teacher Júlia Augusta Wanderley, the first woman to attend the Normal School of Curitiba, in person. The main objective is to analyze the narrative elements that the intellectual from Paraná, Osvaldo Pilotto, used to build a discourse about her, as a woman and teacher, in the centenary of the teacher's birth. The main source is the handwritten document produced by Pilotto, in 1974, with the consent of the Historical and Geographical Institute of Paraná, at the request of Professor Ney Lobo, to compose the Galeria de Moral e Cívica, at Lins de Vasconcelos Institute, in Curitiba. Pilotto, as an intellectual, speaks of a social place and in a specific historical context. The documentary corpus is discussed from the perspective of Araujo (2013), Burke (2011), Pollak (1992), Priore (1997), Ricoeur (2007) and Sirinelli (1998). The source highlights a selection of memories, giving visibility to the moral values ​​related to his personal life, to the work dedicated to teaching in Paraná, such as dedication, abnegation, rigidity and makes his position as an intellectual invisible. To corroborate his speech, Pilotto presents other intellectuals and politicians who validate his arguments about the woman and teacher Julia Wanderley, for teaching in Paraná and in the moral and intellectual formation of youth.
