O silêncio, agora, é a conivência : uma análise da produção escrita de Maria Lacerda de Moura sob um contexto político autoritário

Abstract

This research seeks to rescue and analyze excerpts from the written work of the educator and activist from Minas Gerais Maria Lacerda de Moura (1887 – 1945). Maria Lacerda de Moura's work is extensive, with a broad and diverse reference, it is not only linked to a conceptual current, on the contrary, it presents itself as a multifaceted thought. In her writings — whether in her published books, newspaper articles and pamphlets — the author addresses topics whose agendas, even today, sound very progressive, especially for certain groups. We will define how education appears in the context of three major themes, in the writings of Maria Lacerda de Moura, they are: anti-fascism, secularism and feminism. In addition to recovering an important portion of the author's work, we understand that the current political scenario rekindles the need to revisit the history of transgressive thought and action in the history of education, as an element of reflection and a driver of resistance.
