Abstract

The objective of this article is to reflect on the importance of Magda Soares’ trajectory as a teacher and as a mentor in the history of literacy in Brazil. For this, through documentary research and a historical approach, we focus here on the sources on her work as a postgraduate professor and the work guided by her since the creation of the Faculty of Education (FaE) at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. (UFMG). We seek to understand the contributions of Magda Soares from the history of intellectuals, based on the role played by her as an intellectual mediator and cultural producer, in addition to problematizing her importance in the construction of sociability networks, decisive for the production of knowledge about literacy in Brazil. Observing in this way that Magda Soares’ performance was direct and indirect in the formation of new researchers, as the link in an active web of intellectuals and social actors involved with the theme of literacy.
