Sociology Teaching is “detached” from school: the emergence of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Social Sciences in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and its impact on school sociology (1930-1942)

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the emergence of the discipline Sociology from the process of systematization of sociological knowledge in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, thus capturing the meanings assumed from its effective implementation in the 1930s. The article explores its consolidation in the curriculum school and later leaving school, asking why school and academic sociologies lose the thread that connected them in the 1930s. The investigation consists of looking at the institutionalization of Social Sciences - with its main focus on its school and academic consolidation - to investigate the detachment process between them in the period 1930-1942. We will dedicate ourselves to thinking about the history of Sociology Teaching in the southeast region, specifically in São Paulo with the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Free School of Sociology and Politics (ELSP), and Rio de Janeiro with the University of the Federal District (UDF), and its relevance for institutionalizing the teaching of Sociology in Brazilian undergraduate and postgraduate courses. We start from the hypothesis that these entities were relevant to institutionalize the Teaching of Sociology in the country, since we observed a systematic effort to create the "rules" of the academic field, although we recognize that such institutions cannot be read as representative of the entire scenario. national, given the vast and diverse way in which the subject is taught in the country. The sources refer to a bibliographical analysis of studies on the history of school subjects, carried out within the scope of a doctoral study from which this article originates, we investigated the relationship established between school Sociology and its science of origin in Brazil and some of its repercussions in the period covered.
