Biopolítica na Era Vargas : a nacionalização dos imigrantes alemães por meio da educação.

Abstract

This dissertation was developed in the line of research "Education, Culture and Production of Subjects", in the area of concentration "Education", of the Graduate Program in Education - Master and Doctorate degrees – from University of Santa Cruz do Sul - UNISC. The main goal of this research was to investigate the process of linguistic and cultural homogenization in Brazil promoted by the Campaign of Nationalizing Education in the Vargas Era, which focused on the legitimation of the nation-state as a discourse that reaffirmed the continuation of this campaign and the constitution of nationalist individuals. The Federal Constitutions of 1934 and 1937, as well as some Decree-laws and events that encompassed the entire national territory, were relevant producers of speeches that chanted nationalization, however, this occurred in a more strategic and subtle way, as none individual would be sentenced to death if he did not go to school, just as in attending the school environment would be at the mercy of nationalist measures, characterizing the strategies of biopolitical governance that sought to lead Brazil to nationalism "making live and letting die" the present population in the national territory.
