Revista M., Rio de Janeiro, v. 4, n. 8, p. 222-429, 2019. DOI: 10.9789/2525-3050.2019.v4i8.306-330. Disponível em: https://seer.unirio.br/revistam/article/view/9410. Acesso em: 2 ago. 2024.e- 2525-3050http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/25200This article aims to make a visual reading of funerary monuments that honor the classroom, the teachers and the benefactors who collaborated for the Brazilian teaching. A chronological historicism of the passages that led man to become this special being - educator of the social group to which he belongs – was followed. The appearance of the word, the writing, the office of the clerk and the bookseller, the teacher, the classroom, and members of society complement each other to build this framework that deserves the intellectual formation of man originated from instruction and knowledge. The sculptures are represented in the format of memorial portraits, busts, herms, whole bodies and using narratives that value the biographical universe of the honored characters. To reconstruct the memory context of people, I had as support concepts from the History of Education and the History of Art. Field research carried out in the various secularized cemeteries in Brazil was fundamental to the realization of this work. This individual memory has become public and accessible to all who visit the cemetery.porAcesso AbertoCemitério secularizadoArte funeráriaHomenagens póstumasEducadores no BrasilSéculo XXSecularized cemeteryFunerary artPosthumous tributesEducators in Brazil20th centuryArtigo10.9789/2525-3050.2019.v4i8.306-330
