Summary: The objective of this work is to study feminine professorship in the mining town Cristalândia-Tocantins, during years 1980 to 2007. This thesis analyses practices and statements teachers constructed about themselves, their profession, their knowledge, reading and relationships. This study questions the essentialist discourse that claims teaching to be natural for women; and demonstrates how the teaching of these women challenge the masculine world of mining, the context in which the problematic of this research is situated. This is qualitative research, constructed by interviews with miners, sons and daughters of miners, retired teachers, and women teachers exercising their profession. Oral history is used as the base for collection of data. Collected information is analyzed in light of theoretical referential approaching cultural history for an interdisciplinary exposition of data. Primary sources of this research are the following: Chartier (1990, 1991), Certeau (2004, 2006), Perrot (2006, 2007), Burke (1992, 1997, 2003, 2005), Ginzburg (2006) Melo (2007), Pesavento (2005). Other works consulted and utilized are: Arroyo (2000), Benjamin (1994), Bosi (2004, 2006), Bakhtin (2000, 2006), Foucault (1983,1996, 1997, 2002), Freire (1983, 1996), Halbwaachs (20060, Guimarães (2005), Lajolo (1999), Larrosa (2003) , Le Goff (2003), Louro (1997, 2003), Meyer (2003), Macedo (1996, 1997), Thomson (1997, 2001), Thompson (2002), Zilberman (2006). The results of investigation conclude that teaching women in the mining town of Cristalândia-Tocantins (1980-2007), though their educative practices, especially their reading, constructed tactics of intervention and resistance to existing machismo in this town. Research reveals also in importance of women in the construction of this town, though their knowledge and practices.
