Para além das prescrições: os sujeitos na conformação da cadeira de gymnastica (Belo Horizonte, 1910-1918)

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to tell how the chair of Gymnastic was constituted as a discipline for teacher’s education at the Normal School Model of Belo Horizonte, from 1910 to 1918. The focus is on the personal role of two teachers who were ahead of the chair of Gymnastic during that period: the teachers Aurelia Olintho and Lucia Joviano. It was observed that those women were decisive for the knowledge, time and space constitution of the Gymnastic chair. The former developed strategies for the discipline consolidation and the later proved to be an important mediator and in a given time helped to reform the contents of that chair in order to change the training of the teachers.
