Resumo: |
Starting with the trajectory of the engineer Antonio Francisco de Paula Souza (1843-1917), the objective of this work is to examine the experiences and strategies used by the Brazilian elites, especially the Paulista elite, to maintain their influence in the most diverse sectors of life. It also deals with their family relations which resulted in their political heritage and guided their actions in different areas. The period covered is between the Second Reign and the first years of the Republican era, a time stirred by matters such as those involving labor for the coffee plantations, abolitionism and the immigration projects, in addition to the questioning of monarchic centralism. Paula Souza had his name inscribed in the history of São Paulo for his political career, but even more so for his connection to the founding of the Escola Politécnica de São Paulo and the defense of vocational and technical education. This can be understood as the expression and culmination of a specific political project which held that the country s development resulted from industrialization and control over technology, a project led by the engineer, who was recognized as being the intellectual best equipped to direct it. According to Paula Souza, the search for progress , civilization and modernity , the buzz words of the time, required enabling individuals to live these concepts in practice; something that, from his standpoint, would be achieved by means of vocational education, spreading scientific knowledge that would be useful to oneself and to making the homeland great |
