Meninas pra lá, meninos pra cá: a experiência de escolarização na Província de Goiás

Abstract

In the article, we focus girls and boys schooling experience in Província de Goiás. Reading of a photograph of schoolmates with the teacher - Mestra Inhola -, we tried to see how school worked as producer/reproducer of gender cultural share, which separates bodies and oppose them each other as asymmetrical social relation. Beyond photograph, as sources, we also dealed with laws, rules, reports and presidential messages to analyse conditions of school assistance as part of civilization project and gender binary logic. For that, discursive school technicalities were seen as social strategies to create and sculpt sweet and useful bodies, as educated and civilized upon sex gender distinctions: girls there, boys here.
