Contribution

The Brazilian literature of the end of the 19th Century presents a wealth of subjects and situations, that configured as a privileged production for the understanding of the constitution process of an imaginary on the school practices, while spreading a set of ideas and divulging models of pedagogical performance, it also brought a discussion on pedagogical modernity to the stage. Modernity which appears associated not only to the politics reforms claimed at that moment, but also to new pedagogical practice that could not do without a set of new devices. The present work examines literary pictures that describe areas and objects used at school, that were detached from the novels "O Ateneu", work of the Brazilian writer Raul Pompeia (1863-1895), published in 1888, and "A Normalista", written by Adolfo Caminha (1867-1897) and published, for the first time, in 1893.
