Teachers’ readings: The circulation of ideas about art and education in Paraná, Brazil, in the 1960s

ABSTRACT This article investigates the circulation of ideas about art and education during the 1960s among educators responsible for the course Visual arts in education, created by the State Secretariat for Education and Culture of Paraná and aimed at qualifying teachers to implement artistic activities in school groups. More specifically, an analysis is performed on the notes made on a 1959 edition of the book Educación por el arte, by the British philosopher Herbert Read, which once belonged to one of the coordinators of the above-mentioned course, professor Lúcia Rysicz. This article relies on Le Goff, whose theorey is that no document is innocuous, and Roger Chartier, who considers notes on the pages of a book a form of intellectual appropriation of texts.

摘要 本文考察了1960年代，由巴拉那州教育与文化国务秘书处（State Secretariat for Education and Culture of Paraná）创设、旨在培养教师在学校团体中开展艺术教学活动能力的“教育中的视觉艺术”（Visual arts in education）课程的负责教育工作者群体内部，艺术与教育相关理念的传播情况。具体而言，本文对英国哲学家赫伯特·里德（Herbert Read）所著1959年版《Educación por el arte》一书的批注展开分析，该书曾为上述课程的协调员之一——露西娅·里齐茨（Lúcia Rysicz）教授所有。本文依托两位学者的理论视角：一是勒高夫（Le Goff）提出的“无一份文献是全然中立无害的”这一论断，二是罗杰·夏蒂埃（Roger Chartier）所主张的“书页上的批注属于对文本的一种知性占有形式”。
