AN ANALYSIS OF THE UNIVERSITY CURRICULUM: CURRICULAR EXPERIENCES AND FORMATIVE PROCESSES IN THE COURSE OF CLASSICAL LETTERS AND PORTUGUESE AT FFCL/USP, 1934-1950

Abstract

This article analyzes how the disciplinary field of the Classical Letters and Portuguese course at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of the University of São Paulo (FFCL/USP) began to be constituted in the period from 1934 to 1950, and the possibilities of research from this analytical perspective. It will also be observed which courses were part of the Letters section and which curricular changes went through in the 1930s and 1950s. For this, we used the FFCL/USP yearbooks that were produced between 1934 and 1950, and to support our analysis, Pierre Bourdieu was used as the main author, who contributed to this study with his concepts of field, habitus, goods and capital. The reading and study of the yearbooks allows us to contemplate how and what changes occurred in the formative process of the Classical Letters and Portuguese course from its institutionalization until the 1950s.
