O ideário educativo republicano: da propaganda eleitoral republicana aos debates parlamentares (1878-1910)

Abstract

Este trabalho visa contribuir para o estudo do ideário educativo republicano veiculado na propaganda eleitoral e nos debates parlamentares nos decênios anteriores à queda da Monarquia. De modo a operacionalizar a temática em análise, estruturámos o texto em três partes. Na Parte I, procedemos ao enquadramento político das candidaturas republicanas nas eleições legislativas do período em estudo. Na Parte II, centrámo-nos nas especificidades da acção republicana e da sua propaganda eleitoral no campo educativo. E, na Parte III, abordámos os debates parlamentares dos deputados antidinásticos em torno da questão educativa. A multiplicidade de questões a abordar obrigou-nos a recorrer a um conjunto alargado de fontes, iconográficas, manuscritas e essencialmente impressas. Contudo, os dois núcleos fundamentais que constituíram a base para o desenvolvimento desta investigação foram a imprensa republicana e o Diário da Câmara dos Senhores Deputados. Assim, foi nosso objectivo configurar um painel revelador dos temas educativos que mobilizaram quer os propagandistas republicanos nas campanhas para os sufrágios quer os deputados antimonárquicos no hemiciclo durante o período que medeia entre 1878 e 1910. # # # Abstract - The republican educational ideals from the republican electoral campaign to the parliamentary debates (1878-1910) are the goal of this thesis. We aim to contribute for the study of the propagated republican educative idealism (and ideas) in the electoral propaganda and the parliamentary debates in the previous years of the fall of the Portuguese Monarchy (1910). Constructing a panel of the main themes throughout a content analysis was our first effort. Therefore, we have structured the thesis in three parts. In Part I, we present the framing politician from the republican candidacies in the legislative elections, of the period. In Part II, we focus on the specificities of the republican share and its electoral propaganda in the educative field. And, in Part III, we tried to make an approach of the parliamentary debates of the nondinastic members of the "House of Representatives" around the educative question. The multiplicity of questions to approach made obligator the resource to a widened set of sources such as iconographic, hand written and bibliographical printed material. However, the two basic focuses go around those that had constituted the basis for the development of this inquiry, which had been the "Republican Daily Press" and the "Daily of the Members of the Representatives House Chamber". Altogether, it is our objective to configure a revealing panel of the educative subjects that had mobilized the propagandist republicans in the campaigns for the suffrages both for the monarchic and antimonarchic members of the "House of Representatives" in the Portuguese Republican Assembly during the period that mediates between 1878 and 1910.
