Práticas e discursos

ensino da arquitetura militar e o governo do Rio de Janeiro (1700-1750)

Abstract

In order to understand the discourses, practices and actions of military engineers, as a strengthened and rising social group sent by Portugal to build the defense of the city of Rio de Janeiro in the first half of the eighteenth century, one of our objectives is to analyze the relationship between the intellectual production of defense and the political, social, and cultural aspects of the Ancien Regime society developed in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the eighteenth century. We are addressing the theme of teaching a knowledge. So it is necessary to reflect on what were its implications for the history of colonial education. With this, cultural practices originating from the intersection between the teaching of military architecture and defensive actions will be punctuated. The idea is to analyze the production of knowledge for the defense of the city of Rio de Janeiro through the resources and strategies that were used for the Portuguese administration. For this, the concepts that are of greater relevance in the education of the engineers deserve to be compared so that we can understand which were the political-social guidelines that fomented and were fomented by this knowledge.
